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-Regulation

359
Self-regulation, also known as self-control, encompasses a range of cognitive and behavioral processes that allow individuals to adjust their internal states and outward actions to align with socially acceptable norms and long-term goals. It plays a fundamental role in adaptive functioning, from resisting impulsive behaviors to persisting through challenging tasks. While its benefits are widely recognized, self-regulation is not limitless. Muraven and Baumeister's theory posits that...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Problem gamblers show higher self-reported impulsivity but not necessarily impaired inhibitory control in lab tasks. Gambling type did not influence these findings, suggesting inhibitory dyscontrol isn't universal in problem gambling.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Neuroscience
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Impulsivity is a recognized characteristic of problem gambling.
  • Self-reported impulsivity and objective inhibitory control may represent different psychological constructs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate self-reported impulsivity and laboratory-assessed inhibitory control in treatment-seeking problem gamblers compared to controls.
  • To explore differences between problem gamblers preferring strategic versus nonstrategic gambling activities.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized self-report questionnaires and laboratory-based inhibitory control tasks (Stop Signal Task, Random Number Generation).
  • Compared 39 treatment-seeking problem gamblers with 41 matched controls.
  • Differentiated between strategic (e.g., sports betting) and nonstrategic (e.g., EGMs) gamblers.

Main Results:

  • Problem gamblers reported higher impulsivity and showed more go errors on the Stop Signal Task and lower gap scores on the Random Number Generation task.
  • No significant differences in laboratory inhibitory control measures were found between problem gamblers and controls overall.
  • No differences were observed between strategic and nonstrategic problem gamblers and their respective controls on self-reported impulsivity or laboratory inhibitory control.

Conclusions:

  • While self-reported impulsivity is elevated in problem gamblers, objective measures of inhibitory control do not consistently support this.
  • Inhibitory dyscontrol may not be a primary deficit for all individuals with problem gambling, particularly those preferring strategic activities.
