WGU D082: Task 1 Psychology Latest Updated
with Accurate Solutions
A. Self
a. My score for self-awareness is a 5. I need to improve this skill by
being more aware of my emotions and the triggers that cause
them. I need to assess my triggers and learn how to avoid them
and/or how to work with them. By learning what triggers my
emotions, I’ll be able to understand and react to certain
situations better.
b. For self-management, I scored a 6. To improve on this, I need to
focus on not only understanding my emotions but also assessing
the situations I’m in. For example, it would be acceptable to cry
and be visibly distraught at a funeral, but not at work for
copying the wrong paperwork. Learning to control my emotions
will help me manage situations better and possibly resolve
problems when they arise.
B. Social
a. My social awareness score is pretty, but that doesn’t mean there
isn’t room for improvement. I know two of my biggest
weaknesses in this area are seeing how my actions may affect
others and trying to talk over people to get my thoughts out.
One way to improve on these weaknesses is to consider how my
actions affect others, which in turn works on my empathy.
Understanding how others might be affected will give me a
better understanding of which direction to take to improve.
Active listening and being mindful of my body language will also
help me improve by helping me not to talk over other people in
conversations.
b. My score was an eight on relationship management, which
surprised me. I didn’t think that I would score very high in the
area due to my extremely low self-esteem and self-worth. In my
relationships, I find it difficult to understand why people want
me around, as well as finding it extraordinarily hard to believe
when people tell me that I’m worth knowing or that my place
and/or presence is needed. Learning to trust the words of others
will not only help me in my personal life but also my
professional life. I can learn to trust others by regulating my
emotions. Regulating my emotions will help me focus on the
