Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification03:00

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...

Cognitive Development During Adolescence

During adolescence, individuals experience significant cognitive development that enhances their understanding of others' emotions and thoughts, known as cognitive empathy. This period is marked by an increased ability to adapt to others' perspectives and a more nuanced understanding of others' mental states, a skill that is foundational for social problem-solving and conflict avoidance. The development of cognitive empathy relies heavily on the theory of mind — the recognition that people have...

Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition

A revisionist approach to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development has brought new insights that challenge and reinterpret his established ideas. Piaget proposed that the formal operational stage, emerging in adolescence, represents the culmination of cognitive maturity. During this stage, individuals are said to develop abstract thinking, engage in systematic problem-solving, and show a form of egocentrism, believing others are as preoccupied with their behavior as they are themselves.
Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping02:05

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...
Influence of Parents and Peers on Identity01:23

Influence of Parents and Peers on Identity

Adolescence is a pivotal period of identity formation, during which individuals begin to answer questions central to their sense of self, such as "Who am I?" and "Who do I hope to become?" Both parents and peers play critical roles in guiding adolescents through this complex developmental phase.
Parental Influence on Identity Development
Parents serve as primary guides and managers in an adolescent's life, offering support instrumental in decision-making and personal growth. This guiding role...
Erikson's Theory on Socioemotional Development during Adolescence01:17

Erikson's Theory on Socioemotional Development during Adolescence

Erik Erikson's fifth stage of psychosocial development, "identity versus role confusion," is crucial during adolescence (ages 12 to 18). In this stage, adolescents face the developmental task of forging a distinct personal identity, a process influenced by social, psychological, and biological changes typical of this period. Adolescents naturally explore different roles, behaviors, and ideologies as they navigate complex questions of self-concept, asking, "Who am I?" and "What is my place in...

Adolescent suicidal ideation is linked to time perspective. Negative past and fatalistic present views significantly impact severe ideation, suggesting distinct analysis for moderate and severe cases.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Adolescent Health
  • Mental Health Research

Background:

  • Adolescent suicidal ideation is a significant public health concern.
  • Limited research has explored the influence of time perspective on adolescent suicidal ideation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between time perspective and suicidal ideation in a large adolescent sample.
  • To identify specific temporal dimensions associated with varying levels of suicidal ideation.

Main Methods:

  • A survey of 3700 Italian adolescents was conducted.
  • Data collected included suicidal ideation, mental health, self-esteem, and time perspective (ZTPI).
  • Bivariate and multivariate analyses were employed for data analysis.

Main Results:

  • 9.2% reported severe and 7.6% moderate suicidal ideation.
  • Female adolescents showed higher rates of severe suicidal ideation.
  • Psychopathological symptoms, self-esteem, Negative Past, and Fatalistic Present dimensions of ZTPI explained the primary variance.

Conclusions:

  • Time perspective dimensions differ between moderate and severe suicidal ideators.
  • These findings suggest treating moderate and severe ideation as distinct groups in future research.
