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...

Role of Communication in the Nursing Process III: Evaluation and Documentation

Role of Communication in the Nursing Process III: Evaluation and Documentation

A successful patient outcome depends mainly on the evaluation stage of the nursing process. Evaluation determines effectiveness by reviewing what was done previously after the completion of nursing interventions. Every time a healthcare professional steps in or administers treatment, they must reassess or evaluate the action to ensure the intended result. During the evaluation phase, there are three probable patient outcomes:

Hearing

Hearing

When we hear a sound, our nervous system is detecting sound waves—pressure waves of mechanical energy traveling through a medium. The frequency of the wave is perceived as pitch, while the amplitude is perceived as loudness.

Therapeutic Communication

Therapeutic Communication

Communication is a lifelong learning process. Through therapeutic communication, nurses can collect relevant assessment data, provide education and counseling, and interact during nursing interventions. Sending and receiving messages occur through verbal and nonverbal communication techniques and can happen separately or simultaneously.
Verbal communication depends on language or a prescribed way of using words so that people can share information effectively. The critical aspects of verbal...

Learning Disabilities

Learning Disabilities

Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Social Foundations of Self II: The Generalized Other

Social Foundations of Self II: The Generalized Other

According to George Herbert Mead, as children progress beyond the game stage, they develop a more comprehensive understanding of societal rules and norms. This cognitive and social development enables them to internalize the expectations of the broader community, refining their ability to regulate behavior.Consistent participation in organized activities is crucial in helping children recognize that their actions are not isolated but contribute to a more significant, interconnected group effort.

Summary

Deaf children proficient in Sign Language of the Netherlands (SLN) use more evaluative language in their Dutch writing. This highlights the benefit of sign language proficiency for written narrative enrichment in deaf children.

Area of Science:

Linguistics
Developmental Psychology
Deaf Education

Background:

Deaf children exhibit varied sign language proficiency, impacting writing skills.
Previous research often overlooked sign language proficiency in deaf children's writing studies.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate evaluative expression in written Dutch narratives of deaf children with varying Sign Language of the Netherlands (SLN) proficiency.
To compare deaf children's narrative writing with hearing monolingual and bilingual children from a bimodal bilingual perspective.

Main Methods:

Analysis of eight evaluative devices in written narratives.
Comparison between deaf proficient signers, deaf low-proficient signers, hearing monolinguals, and hearing bilinguals.
Assessment of morpho-syntactic errors and complex sentence usage in narratives.

Main Results:

Proficient SLN-signing deaf children produced narratives with significantly more evaluative devices.
These devices enriched the referential structure of narratives compared to other groups.
No significant difference was found in the use of evaluative devices between low-proficient deaf children and hearing children.

Conclusions:

Proficient SLN use enhances the ability of deaf children to convey evaluation in written Dutch narratives.
Sign language proficiency provides an advantage for narrative enrichment in deaf children's writing.
Accounting for individual sign language proficiency is crucial for understanding deaf children's writing development.
