Eslpod Novelty Students Easily Make Decisions Things Research

Imagine you are a teacher and you have students in your classroom who get bored easily, make snap "judgments" (sudden decisions without thinking about it), "lose their temper" (get angry) easily, and who like things to be "disorganized" (not organized or neat). If you are that teacher, you might be "feeling sorry for yourself" (pitying yourself) because these students are "troublemakers" (people who often create problems), right? The "conventional wisdom" (something believed by most people) and past research tells us that people who "seek" (look for; try to find) "novelty" (the new and unusual) all the time in people, things, and experiences have "personalities" (personal traits or characteristics) that will lead to trouble. People who seek novelty all the time are said to be more "prone to" (likely to be/have) "attention deficit disorder" (behavior problems, especially in children, who are not able to focus, who act without thinking, and who seem to have too much energy), "compulsive spending" and "gambling" (spending money or playing games of chance for money without being able to stop), "alcoholism" (being addicted to drinking alcohol), "drug abuse" (being addicted to illegal drugs), and criminal behavior. A 2012 research reported in the New York Times suggests that there is an "upside" (positive or good aspect) to novelty-seeking. If novelty-seeking "personality traits" (characteristics) are combined with "curiosity" (wanting to know about things) and "persistence" (not quitting; not giving up), novelty-seekers can do great things that benefit the entire society. They may be "adventurous" (willing to take risks) in finding solutions to difficult problems and "survive" (continue to live) because they can make decisions quickly and think in new and unusual ways when they are in difficult situations.
