Cognitive Dissonance01:38

Cognitive Dissonance

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...

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...
Health Literacy01:21

Health Literacy

Health literacy is an individual's or a community's capacity to comprehend, receive, read, and use relevant healthcare information and services. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2018) defines health literacy as the cognitive and social skills that determine the ability of individuals to gain access to, understand, and use information in ways that promote and maintain good health. As a result, the WHO helps individuals manage long-term health concerns, participate in preventative programs,...
Confirmation Biases01:31

Confirmation Biases

The confirmation bias is the tendency to focus on information that confirms our existing beliefs and ignore information that is inconsistent with our expectations. For example, if you think that your professor is not very nice, you notice all of the instances of rude behavior exhibited by the professor while ignoring the countless pleasant interactions he is involved in on a daily basis. Have you ever fallen prey to the confirmation bias, either as the source or target of such bias?
Ethics in Research01:56

Ethics in Research

Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.
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.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Regulation
  • Public Health Policy

Background:

  • The General Dental Council (GDC) underwent a significant governance change between 2009 and 2010.
  • Previously a mixed appointed and elected body since 1957, it became fully appointed.
  • This shift preceded notable alterations in the GDC's operational and strategic direction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the GDC's structural and policy changes post-2010.
  • To analyze proposed reforms in dental professional education and training.
  • To contextualize these developments within the GDC's broader role and accountability.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of GDC documents and policy statements.
  • Analysis of committee structures and governance reforms.
  • Examination of proposals concerning dental education and training.

Main Results:

  • The GDC adopted a fully appointed model, diverging from its historical composition.
  • Significant changes in committee structures were implemented.
  • New proposals for dental professional education and training emerged.

Conclusions:

  • The fully appointed GDC has enacted substantial changes since 2010.
  • These changes warrant examination regarding their impact on the Council's role and accountability.
  • Further scrutiny of GDC's recent record and governance is recommended.
