Effects of feedback01:24

Effects of feedback

Feedback in control systems plays a critical role in shaping various operational parameters, extending beyond simple error reduction to influence stability, bandwidth, gain, impedance, and sensitivity. Understanding these effects requires examining a basic feedback system characterized by defined input, output, error, and feedback signals.
Feedback significantly modifies the gain of a control system. The gain of a system without feedback is altered by a factor of one plus GH, where G represents...

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,...
Negative and Positive Feedback01:18

Negative and Positive Feedback

Animal organs and organ systems constantly adjust to internal and external changes through a process called homeostasis ("steady state"). Examples of these changes include regulation of the level of glucose or calcium in the blood or internal responses to external temperatures. Homeostasis requires  maintaining an internal dynamic equilibrium:
Self-Efficacy01:29

Self-Efficacy

Self-efficacy is the belief in one's capacity to organize and execute actions necessary to manage prospective situations. This belief significantly influences how individuals approach goals, tasks, and challenges across different domains of life.Psychological and Educational ImpactsIndividuals with strong self-efficacy are more resilient in the face of difficulties. They are more likely to adopt effective problem-solving strategies, persist through obstacles, and regulate emotions such as...
Strategies of Self-Presentation II: Self-Verification01:17

Strategies of Self-Presentation II: Self-Verification

Self-verification is a fundamental psychological drive wherein individuals seek affirmation of their self-concept from others, striving for consistency between their internal self-view and external perceptions. This drive operates even when the self-concept is negative, influencing interpersonal behavior and feedback preferences in complex and often counterintuitive ways. Unlike the self-enhancement motive, which seeks positive evaluations, self-verification prioritizes coherence and...
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...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Verbal feedback influenced young adults' balance perceptions but not actual balance. The low balance efficacy group showed decreased self-belief, while the high group felt more stable, despite no objective balance improvements.

Area of Science:

  • Kinesiology
  • Psychology
  • Motor Control

Background:

  • Balance is crucial for daily activities and injury prevention.
  • Balance efficacy, or confidence in one's balance, influences performance.
  • Understanding how feedback affects balance perceptions is important for rehabilitation and training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effects of verbal feedback on balance efficacy in young adults.
  • To examine the relationship between manipulated balance efficacy and perceived/actual balance.
  • To determine if verbal feedback impacts balance-related cognitions during a challenging task.

Main Methods:

  • Sixty-one young adults performed a stance task.
  • Participants were randomized into high balance efficacy, low balance efficacy, or control groups.
  • Verbal feedback was administered to manipulate balance efficacy before task re-performance.

Main Results:

  • The low balance efficacy group demonstrated decreased balance efficacy.
  • Perceptions of stability increased in the high balance efficacy group, despite no change in balance efficacy.
  • No significant changes in actual balance performance were observed across groups.

Conclusions:

  • Verbal feedback can differentially affect balance-related cognitions.
  • Perceived stability can be enhanced independently of actual balance changes.
  • The nature of feedback plays a role in modulating balance perceptions in challenging tasks.
