Case Studies

There are many research methods available to psychologists in their efforts to understand, describe, and explain behavior and the cognitive and biological processes that underlie it.

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model

The Self-Evaluation Maintenance (SEM) model offers a psychological framework to understand how individuals’ self-esteem is influenced by the achievements of others, particularly those with whom they share close personal bonds. The SEM model operates when personal rather than social identity guides individuals. Central to this model is the notion that individuals have an inherent desire to preserve a favorable self-image, which is continuously shaped by interpersonal comparisons and...

Oral Health

Background:

Web browser technology enables familiar interfaces for computer-aided learning (CAL) programs.
This study focuses on a web-based CAL program addressing tooth wear, particularly erosion's role in its etiology.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the effectiveness and usability of a web-based CAL program on tooth wear for dentists.
To assess the impact of the CAL program on dentists' knowledge regarding tooth wear etiology, treatment, and patient advice.

Main Methods:

Fifty dentists were recruited via an electronic mailing list to evaluate the web-based CAL software.
Participants completed a questionnaire assessing program functionality, educational objectives, and user experience.
Knowledge change was measured before and after program use; comparisons were made with other educational media.

Main Results:

A significant increase in dentists' knowledge of tooth wear was recorded post-program use.
High ratings were given to patient cases, leaflets, treatment planning, and patient advice modules.
68% found the web interface easy to use; 80% preferred it over video, 84% over books, and 98% over audio tapes.

Conclusions:

Web browser-based CAL software is a suitable and user-friendly medium for dental education on tooth wear.
The program demonstrated significant educational value, enhancing knowledge and providing practical tools for patient management.
Dentists showed a strong preference for this CAL program compared to traditional educational formats.
