Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

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...

Dark Triad and Person Perception

Dark Triad and Person Perception

Person perception is influenced by both external behaviors and the observer’s internal characteristics, including personality traits. Individuals with dark personality traits, comprising psychopathy, Machiavellianism, and narcissism — collectively known as the dark triad – exhibit manipulative and exploitative tendencies in social contexts. These traits affect how they perceive others and how they are perceived.The Role of Dark Personality Traits in Person PerceptionBlack et al. (2014) explored...

Stereotype Content Model

Stereotype Content Model

The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence categorization, a person will feel...

Deindividuation

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.

Theory of Attribution II: Kelley's Covariation Theory

Theory of Attribution II: Kelley's Covariation Theory

Attribution theory plays a crucial role in social psychology, helping to explain how individuals interpret the causes of behavior. One prominent model within this field is Harold Kelley's covariation theory, which provides a systematic approach to determining whether internal traits or external circumstances drive a person's actions. The model posits that individuals rely on three key types of information—consensus, consistency, and distinctiveness—to make these judgments.Consensus: Comparing...

Reliability and Validity

Reliability and Validity

Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

This study validates the Perceived Devaluation-Discrimination scale for measuring perceived alcohol stigma (PAS). The one-factor model is recommended, showing PAS negatively impacts social support, especially for those with stigmatized labeling.

Area of Science:

Psychology
Sociology
Public Health

Background:

Growing interest in alcohol use disorder (AUD) stigma.
Limited research on conceptualization and measurement of alcohol stigma.
Need for validated scales to assess perceived alcohol stigma (PAS).

Purpose of the Study:

Examine measurement properties and validity of the alcohol-adapted Perceived Devaluation-Discrimination (PDD) scale.
Assess the construct of perceived alcohol stigma (PAS).

Main Methods:

Utilized data from 34,386 U.S. adults in the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (Wave 2).
Employed confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling.
Evaluated one-factor and two-factor models of the PDD scale.

Main Results:

Both one-factor and two-factor models demonstrated good fit, with a latent method factor adjusting for item wording effects.
The two factors (perceived devaluation and perceived discrimination) were highly correlated (r=0.90), favoring a one-factor solution.
Perceived alcohol stigma (PAS) showed an inverse relationship with perceived interpersonal social support, particularly for individuals with stigmatized labeling.

Conclusions:

A one-factor solution for PAS offers superior parsimony.
The alcohol-adapted PDD scale is a psychometrically sound measure.
Findings align with modified labeling theory regarding PAS and social support.
