Coping Strategies: Emotion Focused01:20

Coping Strategies: Emotion Focused

895
Emotion-focused coping refers to a set of strategies aimed at managing the emotional impact of stressors, rather than directly addressing their causes. This approach involves altering one's emotional response to stressful situations to reduce their psychological effects. For example, individuals might talk with a friend or engage in activities like journaling to express their feelings. Such actions can help achieve emotional clarity or release, providing the psychological stability needed...

Traits, Mood, and Subjective Wellbeing

378
Subjective well-being (SWB) refers to an individual's self-evaluation of their overall life satisfaction, happiness, and fulfillment. This multifaceted construct is typically assessed by analyzing the balance of positive and negative emotions alongside perceptions of life satisfaction. Personality traits such as neuroticism and extraversion are strongly associated with variations in SWB, offering critical insights into the underlying mechanisms of emotional well-being.

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

36.2K
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...

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model01:29

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model

423
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...

Coping Strategies: Problem Focused01:27

Coping Strategies: Problem Focused

796
Coping strategies are methods people use to manage, tolerate, or reduce the effects of stressors. These strategies involve both behavioral and psychological actions to handle stressful situations. One common approach is problem-focused coping, which aims to change or eliminate the source of stress rather than merely addressing its consequences. This method involves taking direct action to resolve the issue causing stress.
For example, consider a student who struggles to understand their...

Area of Science:

  • Sports Psychology
  • Psychological Performance in Elite Athletes

Background:

  • Understanding the dynamic interplay of psychological factors in elite sports is crucial for performance.
  • Elite athletes face fluctuating mood states, coping demands, and goal adjustments during competition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationships between personality, mood states, coping strategies, self-set goals, and self-efficacy in an elite judo player.
  • To analyze psychological responses over time using a transactional perspective during a 4-contest tournament.

Main Methods:

  • A case study design involving a male international judo player.
  • Utilized self-report measures including the EPQ, MCOPE, Brunel Mood Scale, and assessments of self-set goals and self-efficacy.
  • Collected state measures after each contest to track mood and psychological changes.

Main Results:

  • High self-efficacy for performance and outcome goals was reported.
  • Pre-competition mood was characterized by high Vigor and Anger, stable after initial wins.
  • Losing a contest led to increased Depressed mood and self-blame; subsequent coping (planning, effort) improved mood and Vigor.

Conclusions:

  • Self-blame correlated with negative psychological states, while planning and effort were linked to positive states.
  • Findings highlight the transient nature of mood states and the utility of a transactional model for analyzing mood changes over time.
  • Emphasizes the need for further research into applied interventions for managing psychological states in athletes.
