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.

Impression Management Techniques I: Managing Appearances01:29

Impression Management Techniques I: Managing Appearances

296
Appearance is a multidimensional aspect of self-presentation that encompasses observable attributes such as clothing, grooming, speech, and nonverbal behavior. These elements are often strategically managed to align with socially constructed expectations in different settings. For instance, individuals tailor their appearance during job interviews, social gatherings, or athletic events to meet the perceived norms of those environments.Contextual Adaptation and Social SignalsThe research...

Marcia's Theory of Identity Status01:26

Marcia's Theory of Identity Status

James Marcia's identity status model provides a framework for understanding how adolescents navigate identity formation through varying degrees of exploration and commitment. Marcia's model builds on Erik Erikson's theories of psychosocial development, focusing specifically on how adolescents reconcile individual aspirations with societal expectations. His model describes identity formation as a dynamic process where adolescents move between different states depending on their level...

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...

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

13.1K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Cognitive Theories: Schachter-Singer Theory of Emotion01:20

Cognitive Theories: Schachter-Singer Theory of Emotion

2.6K
Stanley Schachter and Jerome Singer proposed the two-factor theory of emotion, which emphasizes the interplay between physiological arousal and cognitive labeling in forming emotional experiences. This theory suggests that emotions are not simply a result of physiological responses but rather a combination of these responses and the individual's cognitive interpretation of them.
Physiological Arousal and Cognitive Labeling
According to this theory, when an individual experiences...

    Area of Science:

    • Gender Studies
    • Performance Art
    • Queer Theory

    Background:

    • Butch/femme theory is a concept within queer studies that describes gender expressions.
    • Theories of identity language often explore the fluidity and construction of social categories.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the performative aspects of butch/femme theory.
    • To critically examine the language used to define gender identity.
    • To foster a nuanced understanding of identity construction through embodied practice.

    Main Methods:

    • A performance workshop was designed and described.
    • Theatre exercises and performance techniques were utilized.
    • The application of butch and femme terms to bodily actions was central.

    Main Results:

    • The workshop provided a platform for embodied exploration of butch/femme concepts.
    • Participants engaged with the performative nature of gendered language.
    • The process encouraged a dual perspective of irreverence and respect towards identity definitions.

    Conclusions:

    • Performance offers a unique lens for deconstructing and understanding identity theories.
    • Embodied practice can reveal the arbitrary yet powerful nature of language in defining identity.
    • Further exploration of performance in queer theory is warranted.
