Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification03:00

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

4.7K
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...

Parenting Styles

Diana Baumrind's four parenting styles — authoritarian, authoritative, neglectful, and permissive — each influence children's socio-emotional development differently.
Authoritarian Parenting
This style is strict and controlling, with little room for open dialogue. Authoritarian parents demand obedience and often enforce rules with minimal warmth. Children raised this way may lack social skills and initiative, usually comparing themselves to others unfavorably.
Authoritative...

Self-Report Tests of Personality

1.3K
Self-report inventories are objective personality assessments that use multiple-choice items or numbered scales, typically ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). They are often called Likert scales after Rensis Likert. These inventories are widely used due to their ease of administration and cost-effectiveness. One of the most prominent examples is the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), initially developed in the 1940s to assess abnormal personality traits.

Factors Affecting Perception01:25

Factors Affecting Perception

3.3K
Perception is influenced by perceptual set, context, motivation, and emotion. Perceptual set, or perceptual expectancy, refers to the tendency to perceive things in a particular way, influenced by previous experiences and expectations. This phenomenon affects the interpretation of stimuli, creating a set of mental tendencies and assumptions that impact sensory perceptions of sound, taste, touch, and sight.
An illustrative example of a perceptual set is the scenario where an airline pilot told...

Surveys02:16

Surveys

14.4K
Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Sources of Self-Esteem I: Family Experience

264
Self-esteem, a crucial component of psychological development, is significantly shaped by familial experiences. The early parent-child relationship serves as a foundational influence on a child's self-concept, with long-lasting effects extending into adolescence and adulthood.Parental Behaviors and Early Self-Esteem FormationEmpirical studies have identified four principal parental behaviors that foster healthy self-esteem in children. These include expressions of acceptance, affection, and...

Area of Science:

  • Educational Psychology
  • Family-School Partnerships
  • Survey Development

Background:

  • Parental attitudes significantly influence children's school experiences and family-school engagement.
  • Understanding parent perceptions of school climate is crucial for educational research and practice.
  • Existing measures may not fully capture the nuances of parent views on school environments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a reliable and valid survey scale for assessing parent perceptions of their child's school climate.
  • To provide a tool for researchers and educators to measure parent views on school environments.
  • To examine the factor structure and psychometric properties of the newly developed scale.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive scale development process involving academic and respondent feedback.
  • Three studies utilizing national parent samples (N = 385, 253, 266) to establish reliability and validity.
  • Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to determine the underlying factor structure of the scale.

Main Results:

  • A theoretically grounded factor structure was identified, demonstrating good fit with the data.
  • No evidence was found to support distinct parental response patterns for academic versus social school climate elements.
  • Parents of younger children reported more positive school climate perceptions compared to parents of older children.

Conclusions:

  • The developed scale offers a reliable and valid measure of parent perceptions of school climate.
  • The findings suggest a unified perception of school climate by parents, irrespective of academic or social focus.
  • The scale can be a valuable resource for schools and districts aiming to improve school climate and family engagement.
