Pat's self-concept will drop, making her feel like she isn't good enough or young enough for the rest of the workers. She will start to feel less and less happiness everyday. This is going to impact the way she treats everyone around her making the situation grow worse. Her self-esteem goes hand in hand with the others, she may try less in her presentation of appearance. Since she now believes that she is not good enough for these young people her self-efficacy will fall, she may not try as hard as she can at her work and may not help around the house as much, causing tension with the people she lives with at home. There are three strategies that would be effective in improving Pat's sense of self-efficacy or self-esteem. She can change her appearance, she can try the activities that he co workers do, and be more head strong with making new friends.

She could also got to the local mall or boutique, there she could get some newer clothes that complement her new look. She doesn't need to change her self completely but she
