How can understanding and predicting behaviors benefit us in our lives at home, at work and in school? What behavior do on-line students use to be successful in their studies? How are on-line behaviors different from the ones used to be successful in traditional classrooms?

Like when my husband eats the last slice of pie – if I could predict that, then I could eat it first instead of him, which would benefit my taste buds immensely.
Online students use Yahoo answers to cheat, just like you!
B/c you have more of an understanding of the people around you. I am an online student and i study in the classroom too. I like the online studies better though. My mom is going back to school and she is online student as well. But the diff. I think is the ability to use more notes and take more time out for the online classroom instead of just physically going to school to do it for 1 hr or more and then doing it at home.
Abstract Risk was investigated from the subjective viewpoints of adolescents, with the aim of assessing adolescents’ perceptions of what constitutes risky behavior and how risk behaviors and risk judgments relate. Participants were 570 school-based adolescents. Students named risky behaviors perceived as common to similarly aged peers, then rated level of engagement in these behaviors. The perceived positive and negative outcomes of risk were also nominated, and rated on perceived likelihood and desirability/undesirability. The sample viewed risky behaviors as smoking, drinking alcohol, dangerous driving, taking drugs, criminal behavior, sporting risks, antisocial behavior, minor rebellion, school-related risks, and sexual activity. Negative outcomes of risk were categorized as death, disablement, punishment, and social consequences. Payoffs included pleasure, material gain, and avoidance of negative outcomes. There was a consistent pattern of relationships between risk participation and outcome judgment, with perceived pleasantness and likelihood of positive outcomes, and unpleasantness of negative outcomes, strongly associated with behavior.
