Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

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...

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...

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Social Proof

Social proof is a form of persuasion based on comparison and conformity. People compare their behavior and actions to what others are doing and will change to conform to do what their peers do.

Sources of Self-Esteem II: Performance Feedback

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,...

Theory of Attribution II: Kelley's Covariation Theory

Theory of Attribution II: Kelley's Covariation Theory

Attribution theory plays a crucial role in social psychology, helping to explain how individuals interpret the causes of behavior. One prominent model within this field is Harold Kelley's covariation theory, which provides a systematic approach to determining whether internal traits or external circumstances drive a person's actions. The model posits that individuals rely on three key types of information—consensus, consistency, and distinctiveness—to make these judgments.Consensus: Comparing...

Area of Science:

Bibliometrics
Scholarly Publishing
Scientific Communication

Background:

Assessing author satisfaction with manuscript editorial review is crucial for journal quality.
Understanding factors influencing author perceptions of peer review is vital for improving scholarly publishing.

Purpose of the Study:

To survey authors on their assessment of editorial review processes in a leading specialty journal.
To identify factors influencing author satisfaction with manuscript review.
To compare author ratings of journal review processes versus reviewer commentary.

Main Methods:

An online survey was administered to 445 corresponding authors of consecutively submitted manuscripts over 7 months.
Authors rated aspects of editorial comments from multiple reviewers and the overall review process.
The survey also assessed overall satisfaction and future submission likelihood based on review experience.

Main Results:

Authors of accepted manuscripts reported significantly higher overall satisfaction (98%) compared to rejected manuscripts (80%).
Authors rated submission and review processes more favorably (88%) than reviewer commentary (69%), with a larger difference for rejected manuscripts.
Reviewer focus on manuscript content received the lowest ratings; author ratings of reviewer comments did not correlate with senior editor assessments.

Conclusions:

Author feedback is more positive for accepted manuscripts and differentiates between review aspects and reviewers.
Author feedback offers a valuable tool for monitoring and enhancing editorial review processes and reviewer commentary.
Improving reviewer focus on manuscript content is a key area for enhancing author satisfaction.
