Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about the way you...

Fundamental Attribution Error

Fundamental Attribution Error

According to some social psychologists, people tend to overemphasize internal factors as explanations—or attributions—for the behavior of other people. They tend to assume that the behavior of another person is a trait of that person, and to underestimate the power of the situation on the behavior of others. They tend to fail to recognize when the behavior of another is due to situational variables, and thus to the person’s state. This erroneous assumption is called the fundamental attribution...

Hypothesis Test for Test of Independence

Hypothesis Test for Test of Independence

The test of independence is a chi-square-based test used to determine whether two variables or factors are independent or dependent. This hypothesis test is used to examine the independence of the variables. One can construct two qualitative survey questions or experiments based on the variables in a contingency table. The goal is to see if the two variables are unrelated (independent) or related (dependent). The null and alternative hypotheses for this test are:
H0: The two variables (factors)...

Factors Influencing Attraction VI: Personality Traits

Factors Influencing Attraction VI: Personality Traits

Personality traits are fundamental in shaping social perception and influencing interpersonal relationships. Certain traits, such as agreeableness and extraversion, contribute positively to social interactions, whereas others, such as narcissism, have complex and often contradictory effects on how individuals are perceived over time.The Role of Agreeableness and ExtraversionAgreeableness and extraversion are associated with higher levels of interpersonal attractiveness and likability.

Microbes in Beverage Production

Microbes in Beverage Production

Alcoholic beverages such as wine, beer, and spirits are the products of microbial fermentation processes that transform simple sugars into ethanol and a wide array of complex flavor compounds. These transformations rely on the metabolic activities of specific yeasts and bacteria, which are selected and controlled to yield the desired beverage characteristics.Wine Fermentation and MaturationWine production begins with the crushing of grapes to release juice and pulp, forming a must that is...

Production of Alcohol

Production of Alcohol

Continuous fermentation is a key strategy in industrial ethanol production, particularly when efficiency, scalability, and high yields are essential. This approach allows for uninterrupted operation and optimized resource utilization. The primary feedstock, corn starch, undergoes enzymatic hydrolysis facilitated by α-amylase and glucoamylase. These enzymes break down the starch into fermentable sugars such as glucose, which are readily assimilated by fermentative microorganisms.Fermentation...

Preference factors in experimental alcoholism.

R D MYERS, R CAREY

Science (New York, N.Y.)

|August 18, 1961

Summary

Rats developed alcohol preferences based on how long they consumed alcohol, not the concentration. Extended alcohol exposure, even at lower levels, influenced their choices in later tests.

Area of Science:

Neuroscience
Behavioral Science
Pharmacology

Background:

Previous studies identified normal rats refusing certain alcohol concentrations.
Understanding factors influencing alcohol preference is crucial for addiction research.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate how duration and concentration of alcohol exposure affect preference in rats.
To determine if prolonged exposure to lower alcohol concentrations alters subsequent choices.

Main Methods:

Rats were housed with 5% and 20% alcohol solutions for 30 or 120 days.
Alcohol preference was tested using solutions up to 8% concentration after the exposure period.

Main Results:

A significant difference in alcohol preference was observed based on the duration of prior alcohol consumption.

Keywords:

The concentration of alcohol consumed during the housing period did not significantly affect the differential preference.

Rats exposed to alcohol for a longer duration (120 days) showed a more pronounced preference shift.

Conclusions:

Extended alcohol consumption, regardless of concentration, can establish differential alcohol preferences.
Duration of exposure is a key factor in modulating alcohol preference in rodent models.
Findings suggest that even moderate, prolonged alcohol intake can alter consumption patterns.
