Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication

Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication

Since the early 2000s, computer-mediated communication (CMC) has grown rapidly, playing a crucial role in self-development. A key distinction between CMC and real-life interactions is the lack of a physically present partner. This absence makes non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, body language, and paralinguistic signals unavailable in CMC platforms like email, instant messaging, or social media. The lack of these cues can create ambiguity and complicate how feedback is interpreted.The...

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...

Emerging Adulthood

Emerging Adulthood

Jeffrey Arnett's concept of emerging adulthood offers a framework to understand the unique developmental stage between adolescence and full-fledged adulthood, generally from ages 18 to 25. This period is marked by extensive exploration and shifts in identity, relationships, and career choices, a process known in psychology as role experimentation. Emerging adulthood reflects the evolving cultural expectations surrounding adulthood and the dynamic process of personal transformation during this...

Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition

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.

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who are...

Bullying

Bullying

A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is bullying.

Area of Science:

Gerontology
Medical Education
Health Informatics

Background:

Telemedicine adoption is growing, particularly in elder care and medical training.
Understanding generational perceptions of technology is crucial for effective implementation.
Independent living facilities (ILFs) present unique opportunities for remote healthcare services.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess the time efficiency of telemedicine for faculty mentoring of physician assistant (PA) students during history and physical examinations of elderly residents in an ILF.
To investigate generational differences in technology perception, from telemedicine to mobile devices.
To evaluate the impact of a telemedicine distance mentoring study on intergenerational technology awareness and healthcare access perceptions.

Main Methods:

A telemedicine distance mentoring study involving two groups: 25 elderly residents in an ILF (Group 1) and 25 PA students (Group 2).
Data collection likely involved surveys or interviews to gauge perceptions of telemedicine and technology use.
Comparative analysis of technology usage and perceptions between the elderly and student groups.

Main Results:

Elderly participants (Group 1) valued telemedicine for convenience and improved access to healthcare providers.
PA students (Group 2) recognized telemedicine's potential for enhancing practice time efficiency.
Both groups demonstrated limited awareness of the other's typical technology use but shared positive views on telemedicine's role in healthcare access.

Conclusions:

Telemedicine offers significant benefits for both healthcare access for the elderly and time efficiency in PA training.
Bridging the generational technology gap is essential for maximizing telemedicine's potential.
Shared positive perceptions highlight telemedicine's promise for improving healthcare delivery across different demographics.
