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. Central to this model is the notion that individuals have an inherent desire to preserve a favorable self-image, which is continuously shaped by interpersonal comparisons and...

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...

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching III: Evaluation and Documentation

Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning, patient...
Quality Assurance01:19

Quality Assurance

Quality assurance is the overarching term used to describe the activities employed to ensure the proper performance of a system. These activities can be classified into three categories: quality control, quality assessment, and internal corrective measures. Typically, these activities work cyclically: quality control is performed before and during the analysis, while quality assessment occurs during and after the investigation. Internal corrective measures are implemented based on the findings...
Self-Regulation01:25

Self-Regulation

Self-regulation, also known as self-control, encompasses a range of cognitive and behavioral processes that allow individuals to adjust their internal states and outward actions to align with socially acceptable norms and long-term goals. It plays a fundamental role in adaptive functioning, from resisting impulsive behaviors to persisting through challenging tasks. While its benefits are widely recognized, self-regulation is not limitless. Muraven and Baumeister's theory posits that...
Sustainable Development01:43

Sustainable Development

As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Organizational Psychology
  • Higher Education Administration

Background:

  • The advisory dean program at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons was established in 2003.
  • Its primary goals are to enhance student-faculty connections, support academic progress, and improve career advising for medical students.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify key factors contributing to the sustained vitality and effectiveness of the advisory dean program.
  • To analyze the program's functioning after eight years of operation.

Main Methods:

  • A reflective analysis was conducted in 2011.
  • Data sources included dean interviews, student surveys, meeting agendas, and program leader reflections.
  • The Bolman and Deal four-part framework (structural, human resource, political, symbolic) was utilized for analysis.

Main Results:

  • Structural: Reframed goals, integrated advising resources, increased student-dean interaction.
  • Human Resource: Managed dean turnover via selection/orientation, provided ongoing training.
  • Political: Balanced school/departmental resources for dean time management.
  • Symbolic: Leveraged deans as institutional symbols, recognized hidden meanings in decisions.

Conclusions:

  • Multiple strategies across organizational frames were implemented to maintain the advisory dean program.
  • This study offers a guide for program maintenance in other academic institutions.
