Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model01:29

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model

The Self-Evaluation Maintenance (SEM) model offers a psychological framework to understand how individuals’ self-esteem is influenced by the achievements of others, particularly those with whom they share close personal bonds. The SEM model operates when personal rather than social identity guides individuals.

Cooley observed that a person’s self-perception is primarily influenced by how others see and judge them. He suggested that individuals form their identities based on their interpretations of others' reactions. As a result, social interactions play a crucial role in shaping self-esteem and personal identity. These external evaluations often blend...

Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...
Self-Discrepancy Theory02:45

Self-Discrepancy Theory

One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.
Self-Awareness and Its Effects01:21

Self-Awareness and Its Effects

Self-awareness is a psychological state in which the individual becomes the focal point of their attention. This inward focus transforms the self into an object of contemplation and assessment, influencing how individuals perceive their actions and their alignment with personal and societal standards.Triggers and Contexts for Self-AwarenessSelf-awareness can be activated by external stimuli that make individuals visually or audibly aware of themselves, such as mirrors, cameras, or recordings.

Area of Science:

  • Continuing Professional Development
  • Health Professions Education
  • Self-Assessment in Medicine

Background:

  • Continuing professional development (CPD) aims to foster self-directed practitioners.
  • Current CPD structures are often ineffective in modifying practitioner behavior.
  • The health professions require meaningful assessment of ongoing competence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the role of self-assessment in continuing education.
  • To enhance the effectiveness of continuing education in health professions.
  • To explore how self-assessment knowledge can improve CPD outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of current understanding of self-assessment.
  • Analysis of the impact of self-assessment on continuing education effectiveness.
  • Examination of the link between self-assessment and practitioner competence.

Main Results:

  • Many CPD programs fail to effectively change practitioner behavior.
  • The least competent practitioners often exhibit the highest self-confidence.
  • The effectiveness of self-directed CPD choices is questionable for some practitioners.

Conclusions:

  • Developing practitioners' self-assessment abilities is essential for effective CPD.
  • Improved self-assessment knowledge can enhance participation and outcomes in CPD.
  • Stakeholders require enhanced practitioner self-assessment for optimal return on CPD investment.
