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...

Sources of Self-Esteem II: Performance Feedback

230
Self-esteem is intricately tied to our perception of competence and our ability to exert control over our lives. One of the primary sources of this perception is performance feedback — the ongoing evaluation of our actions in terms of success and failure. According to Franks and Marolla (1976), people derive self-worth from experiencing themselves as causal agents, capable of achieving goals and overcoming obstacles. This process nurtures a critical component of self-esteem:...

Self-Discrepancy and Its Effects

515
Self-discrepancy theory explains how people compare their actual self to their ideal and ought selves and how mismatches between these self-guides can lead to emotional distress. Developed by E. Tory Higgins, the theory distinguishes among three components of self-concept: the actual self, the ideal self, and the ought self. These refer respectively to how individuals perceive themselves, how they aspire to be, and how they believe they are obligated to be. Emotional well-being, self-esteem,...

Self-Discrepancy Theory

17.9K
One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Psychiatry
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Memory self-efficacy (MSE), the belief in one's ability to use memory effectively, is positively associated with memory performance in the general population.
  • This relationship has not been previously investigated in individuals with schizophrenia.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the relationship between MSE and objective memory measures in schizophrenia patients.
  • To compare MSE and its association with memory performance between schizophrenia patients and healthy controls.

Main Methods:

  • A study was conducted involving thirty schizophrenia patients and twenty healthy controls.
  • Participants' memory self-efficacy (MSE) and objective memory performance were assessed.
  • The association between MSE, memory performance, and depression was analyzed.

Main Results:

  • Schizophrenia patients exhibited significantly lower MSE compared to healthy controls.
  • Lower MSE in schizophrenia patients was associated with depressive symptoms.
  • A positive correlation between MSE and memory performance was observed in healthy controls but not in schizophrenia patients.

Conclusions:

  • The study indicates that schizophrenia is associated with reduced memory self-efficacy (MSE).
  • The findings suggest that the typical positive relationship between MSE and memory functioning is disrupted in schizophrenia.
  • Depression may play a role in the lower MSE observed in schizophrenia patients.
