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...

Sources of Self-Esteem II: Performance Feedback

Self-esteem is intricately tied to our perception of competence and our ability to exert control over our lives. One of the primary sources of this perception is performance feedback — the ongoing evaluation of our actions in terms of success and failure. According to Franks and Marolla (1976), people derive self-worth from experiencing themselves as causal agents, capable of achieving goals and overcoming obstacles. This process nurtures a critical component of self-esteem: self-efficacy,...

Coping strategies are methods people use to manage, tolerate, or reduce the effects of stressors. These strategies involve both behavioral and psychological actions to handle stressful situations. One common approach is problem-focused coping, which aims to change or eliminate the source of stress rather than merely addressing its consequences. This method involves taking direct action to resolve the issue causing stress.
For example, consider a student who struggles to understand their...
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.
Coping Strategies: Emotion Focused01:20

Coping Strategies: Emotion Focused

Emotion-focused coping refers to a set of strategies aimed at managing the emotional impact of stressors, rather than directly addressing their causes. This approach involves altering one's emotional response to stressful situations to reduce their psychological effects. For example, individuals might talk with a friend or engage in activities like journaling to express their feelings. Such actions can help achieve emotional clarity or release, providing the psychological stability needed to...

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health Psychology
  • Trauma Studies
  • Rehabilitation Psychology

Context:

  • Examines workplace accidents as potentially traumatic events.
  • Investigates the influence of individual (e.g., years post-accident, education, disability) and contextual (e.g., region, concurrent employment) variables.
  • Utilizes validated instruments: Impact of Event Scale (IES), Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced (COPE), and General Self-Efficacy (GSE).

Purpose:

  • To analyze the impact of individual and contextual factors on coping with work accident consequences.
  • To identify specific coping strategies employed by workers with disabilities resulting from accidents.
  • To raise awareness regarding factors influencing post-accident coping mechanisms.

Summary:

  • Results indicate region influences intrusive symptoms; years post-accident affects problem-oriented coping; disability degree impacts acceptance; concurrent job influences emotion-focused coping; education level affects various coping strategies and self-efficacy.
  • The study highlights the unpredictable nature of work accidents and their potential to be traumatic.
  • Identifies frequently used coping strategies by injured workers.

Impact:

  • Underlines the traumatic potential of work accidents due to their unpredictability.
  • Suggests specific coping strategies frequently utilized by workers with disabilities.
  • Promotes greater awareness of factors influencing how injured workers cope with accidents, emphasizing health considerations.
