Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model

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-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...

Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication

Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication

Since the early 2000s, computer-mediated communication (CMC) has grown rapidly, playing a crucial role in self-development. A key distinction between CMC and real-life interactions is the lack of a physically present partner. This absence makes non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, body language, and paralinguistic signals unavailable in CMC platforms like email, instant messaging, or social media. The lack of these cues can create ambiguity and complicate how feedback is interpreted.The...

Self-Presentation

Self-Presentation

Self-presentation is a fundamental aspect of social interaction, shaping both how others perceive individuals and how they view themselves. This dynamic process influences behaviors in various social settings, often leading people to adjust their appearance, speech, and demeanor to align with their desired identity. While self-presentation can be deliberate or unconscious, it plays a critical role in interpersonal relationships and self-perception.Forms of Self-PresentationSelf-presentation can...

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

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...

Processes of Self-Presentation

Processes of Self-Presentation

Effective self-presentation is a central component of social interaction and identity construction. It relies on the dynamic processes of defining the situation and engaging in self-disclosure. These mechanisms help individuals navigate social context expectations and manage how others perceive them, fostering mutual understanding and relationship development.Defining the SituationSocial situations are shaped by collectively understood frames—a set of widely understood rules or conventions...

Area of Science:

Medical Education Technology
Digital Learning Tools
Healthcare Professional Training

Background:

Reflective portfolios are crucial in nursing and medicine, transitioning from paper to electronic formats.
Existing e-portfolios struggle with limited or absent networks during outdoor professional practice.
This limitation hinders the adoption of e-portfolios in essential medical and nursing training activities.

Purpose of the Study:

To design and evaluate a Ubiquitous Reflective E-Portfolio Architecture.
To enable mobile and wired access for both online and offline e-portfolio operation.
To overcome network limitations in professional practice environments.

Main Methods:

Developed a prototype, the Professional Practice Module, based on real-world needs.
Evaluated the prototype with 2nd-year medical students at a Brazilian University.
Collected data through extensive questionnaires assessing usability and functionality.

Main Results:

The prototype functioned effectively during professional practice activities, including patient care and learning meetings.
It proved versatile across varying network availability, operating both online and offline.
Students found the module useful and easy to use, but noted device-specific challenges (keyboard, display, OS).

Conclusions:

The professional practice environment significantly influences e-portfolio usage.
Mobile devices can support students, but careful selection is needed to avoid task limitations.
A revised module is proposed, with distinct features for on-campus/home use versus essential patient attendance functions.
