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...

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...
Bullying02:04

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.

Sources of Self-Esteem I: Family Experience

Self-esteem, a crucial component of psychological development, is significantly shaped by familial experiences. The early parent-child relationship serves as a foundational influence on a child's self-concept, with long-lasting effects extending into adolescence and adulthood.Parental Behaviors and Early Self-Esteem FormationEmpirical studies have identified four principal parental behaviors that foster healthy self-esteem in children. These include expressions of acceptance, affection, and...
Self-Help Support Groups01:28

Self-Help Support Groups

Self-help support groups are voluntary, community-based organizations that provide a platform for individuals with shared concerns to exchange support, insights, and practical strategies for coping with life challenges. Typically led by group members or paraprofessionals, these groups form a cornerstone of mental health care, especially in reaching populations that are underserved by traditional healthcare systems.

Conduct Disorder01:28

Conduct Disorder

Conduct disorder is a complex mental health diagnosis characterized by a repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior that violates societal norms, the rights of others, or age-appropriate rules. The diagnostic criteria for conduct disorder require the presence of at least three problematic behaviors within the past 12 months, with at least one occurring in the past six months. These behaviors are grouped into four categories: aggression toward people and animals; destruction of property;...

Summary

This review examines adolescent deliberate self-harm (DSH) from 2002-2008. Most DSH involved cutting or overdosing, with girls being the majority, highlighting the need for a clear DSH definition.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Adolescent Health
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Deliberate self-harm (DSH) is a significant concern in adolescent populations.
  • Understanding prevalence and methods is crucial for intervention.
  • Existing research shows varied estimates, partly due to definitional inconsistencies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent research on the prevalence of DSH in non-clinical adolescent populations.
  • To identify common methods and demographic patterns in adolescent DSH.
  • To highlight challenges in DSH research, specifically the lack of a standardized definition.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of research published between 2002 and 2008.
  • Analysis of studies focusing on non-clinical adolescent populations.

  • Synthesis of data on prevalence, methods, and demographics of DSH.

    • Main Results:

    • Cutting and overdosing were identified as the most frequent DSH methods.
    • Adolescent girls constituted the majority of individuals engaging in DSH.
    • Prevalence estimates varied, underscoring the definitional issue.

    Conclusions:

    • A clear, universally accepted definition of DSH is essential for accurate prevalence assessment.
    • Consistent definitions are needed to compare DSH rates across cultures and over time.
    • Further research should prioritize establishing standardized diagnostic criteria for DSH.
