Impression Management Techniques I: Managing Appearances01:29

Impression Management Techniques I: Managing Appearances

Appearance is a multidimensional aspect of self-presentation that encompasses observable attributes such as clothing, grooming, speech, and nonverbal behavior. These elements are often strategically managed to align with socially constructed expectations in different settings. For instance, individuals tailor their appearance during job interviews, social gatherings, or athletic events to meet the perceived norms of those environments.Contextual Adaptation and Social SignalsThe research...
Social Scripts02:10

Social Scripts

People tend to know what behavior is expected of them in specific, familiar settings. A script is a person’s knowledge about the sequence of events expected in a specific setting (Schank & Abelson, 1977). Essentially, scripts are a particular kind of schema, one containing default values for the features within an event. In the restaurant example, the script's features include the props (e.g., tables, menu, food, and money), the roles to be played (e.g., customer and waiter), the opening...
Modeling in Therapy01:26

Modeling in Therapy

Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.

Creative Thinking01:25

Creative Thinking

Creative thinking encompasses innovative and unconventional methods for addressing challenges, often leading to groundbreaking solutions. Instead of focusing solely on enhancing existing systems, such as increasing smartphone battery capacity, creative thinking might inspire advancements like energy-efficient batteries or processors that minimize power consumption. This multidimensional approach underscores the importance of exploring novel pathways to innovation.

Impression Management Techniques IV: Altercasting01:14

Impression Management Techniques IV: Altercasting

Altercasting is a strategic communication technique in which an individual imposes a specific identity or social role onto another person to influence their behavior and shape the interaction. By presuming a role—such as “responsible leader” or “patient person”—altercasting encourages the target to conform to that identity, often aligning their behavior with the expectations associated with the role. The power of this tactic lies in its subtlety; once a role is assigned, it becomes socially...
Fixed Action Patterns01:06

Fixed Action Patterns

A fixed action pattern (FAP) is a specific, hard-wired sequence of behaviors that occurs in response to an external stimulus, called a sign stimulus. The behavior is “fixed” because it is essentially unchangeable—proceeding similarly across individuals of a species every time it occurs.

Area of Science:

  • Applied Theatre and Performance Studies
  • Community Health
  • Indigenous Studies

Background:

  • Applied theatre offers a framework for enhancing Indigenous community wellbeing.
  • Applied theatre practices exist on a spectrum from performance-oriented to participant-oriented.
  • Understanding the cultural efficacy of different applied theatre forms is crucial for health promotion.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce applied theatre and performance as practices for enhancing Indigenous community wellbeing.
  • To explore the potential application of applied theatre for health promotion in Indigenous communities.
  • To contribute to the theory and practice of applied theatre for health promotion.

Main Methods:

  • A pilot workshop was conducted in Papua New Guinea with twelve health promotion practitioners.
  • Participants reflected on the applicability of various applied theatre forms for their work.
  • Qualitative evaluation was performed using a focus group at the workshop's conclusion.

Main Results:

  • Participants identified specific applied theatre forms suitable for their health promotion practices.
  • A consensus emerged that participant-oriented theatre forms are more likely to influence health behaviors within their cultural context.
  • The study highlighted the perceived greater efficacy of participant-oriented theatre in influencing health-related behavior.

Conclusions:

  • The existing literature on theatre for development lacks clarity on the cultural efficacy of specific theatre forms for influencing health behaviors.
  • Further research is needed to determine how specific theatre forms can be more or less effective across diverse cultural contexts.
  • Culturally focused research will significantly benefit the refinement and application of applied theatre in health promotion practices.
