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 Availability Heuristic01:08

The Availability Heuristic

A heuristic is a general problem-solving framework (Tversky & Kahneman, 1974). You can think of these as mental shortcuts that are used to solve problems. Different types of heuristics are used in different types of situations, and the impulse to use a heuristic occurs when one of five conditions is met (Pratkanis, 1989):
Deindividuation00:57

Deindividuation

Deindividuation is a form of social influence on an individual’s behavior such that the individual engages in unusual or non-normal behavior while in a group setting. Why? Because in these group settings, the individual no longer sees themselves as an individual anymore, disinhibiting their behavior and personal restraint.
Robbers Cave04:49

Robbers Cave

During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension could be...
Hindsight Biases01:12

Hindsight Biases

Hindsight bias leads you to believe that the event you just experienced was predictable, even though it really wasn’t. In other words, you knew all along that things would turn out the way they did. Can you relate this to the phrase "Hindsight is 20/20" now?
Predator-Prey Interactions02:39

Predator-Prey Interactions

Predators consume prey for energy. Predators that acquire prey and prey that avoid predation both increase their chances of survival and reproduction (i.e., fitness). Routine predator-prey interactions elicit mutual adaptations that improve predator offenses, such as claws, teeth, and speed, as well as prey defenses, including crypsis, aposematism, and mimicry. Thus, predator-prey interactions resemble an evolutionary arms race.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Dentistry
  • Public Health
  • Preventive Medicine

Background:

  • The transition from primary (milk) teeth to permanent (adult) teeth is a critical period for oral health.
  • Dental caries (cavities) pose a significant risk during this developmental stage.
  • Established oral hygiene practices are essential for long-term dental wellness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To emphasize the importance of maintaining a rigorous oral health regimen during the mixed dentition phase.
  • To highlight the role of parental supervision in ensuring effective oral hygiene for young children.
  • To explore effective strategies for motivating older children and adolescents towards better dietary choices and oral care.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current pediatric dental hygiene recommendations.
  • Analysis of factors influencing oral health behaviors in school-aged children and teenagers.
  • Discussion of age-appropriate motivational techniques for caries prevention.

Main Results:

  • Consistent twice-daily tooth cleaning, supervised by parents, is recommended for infant school children.
  • Adolescents are susceptible to peer influence regarding consumption of sugary and processed foods.
  • Appealing to adolescents' self-image and appearance may be more effective than traditional disease-prevention lectures.

Conclusions:

  • Effective caries prevention requires tailored approaches for different age groups.
  • Parental involvement is key for establishing good habits in younger children.
  • Motivational strategies focusing on aesthetics and social factors can improve oral health behaviors in teenagers.
