Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model01:29

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...

Sources of Self-Esteem II: Performance Feedback

Self-esteem is intricately tied to our perception of competence and our ability to exert control over our lives. One of the primary sources of this perception is performance feedback — the ongoing evaluation of our actions in terms of success and failure. According to Franks and Marolla (1976), people derive self-worth from experiencing themselves as causal agents, capable of achieving goals and overcoming obstacles. This process nurtures a critical component of self-esteem: self-efficacy,...

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Social Foundations of Self III: Self-Evaluation

Self-evaluation is the process by which individuals assess their abilities, behaviors, and characteristics based on feedback from others. Charles H. Cooley observed that a person’s self-perception is primarily influenced by how others see and judge them. He suggested that individuals form their identities based on their interpretations of others' reactions. As a result, social interactions play a crucial role in shaping self-esteem and personal identity. These external evaluations often blend...
Nursing Assessment01:29

Nursing Assessment

The two sources for collecting information are primary and secondary. After gathering information, interpretation and validation help to complete the data. The purpose of assessment is to establish data with the initial information, to interpret data about the patient's perceived needs and health problems, and to respond to these problems identified.
The nurse collects all aspects of the patient's health in the initial assessment, establishing priorities for ongoing focused assessments and...
Longitudinal Research02:20

Longitudinal Research

Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Summary

Physician self-assessment scores increased over time, but multisource feedback did not significantly alter these perceptions. Stable self-perceptions appear to drive physician self-assessment, suggesting slow change is likely.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Physician Performance Evaluation

Background:

  • Multisource feedback (MSF) involves input from colleagues, patients, and coworkers to inform physician practice.
  • The impact of MSF on physician self-assessment across multiple iterations remains understudied.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effect of multisource feedback on physician self-assessment over two iterations.
  • To identify factors influencing changes in physician self-assessment scores.

Main Methods:

  • Longitudinal study of 250 family physicians in Alberta across two iterations (1999 and 2006).
  • Paired t-tests analyzed changes in self-assessment scores.
  • Multiple regression models examined predictors of second-iteration self-assessment scores, including MSF data and sociodemographics from the first iteration.

Main Results:

  • Physicians reported higher self-assessment scores in the second iteration compared to the first.
  • The multiple regression model explained 27.4% of the variance in self-assessment scores at the second iteration.
  • Self-assessment data from the first iteration was a significant component of the regression model.

Conclusions:

  • Physician self-assessment appears to be primarily influenced by enduring self-perceptions.
  • These stable perceptions may be resistant to rapid change, even with repeated feedback.
  • Further research is needed to understand how to effectively modify physician self-perceptions through feedback.
