Self-Discrepancy and Its Effects01:29

Self-Discrepancy and Its Effects

493
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,...

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.

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model01:29

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model

417
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...

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

36.1K
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-Serving Bias01:29

Self-Serving Bias

348
Self-serving bias is a cognitive phenomenon in which individuals attribute positive outcomes to internal factors such as their abilities, intelligence, or effort while attributing negative outcomes to external circumstances. This cognitive distortion helps maintain self-esteem but can also impede objective self-assessment.Theoretical Explanations of Self-Serving BiasTwo primary theories explain the self-serving bias: the cognitive explanation and the motivational explanation.The cognitive...

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...

    • Operations Research

    Context:

    • Modern hospitals require strategic control of cost-intensive areas like operating rooms.
    • Ongoing financial pressures necessitate focused management attention on OR efficiency.
    • Benchmarking across healthcare organizations remains challenging due to data analysis difficulties.

    Purpose:

    • To address the need for data-driven performance measurement in OR and anesthesia departments.
    • To identify and quantify key performance indicators (KPIs) for these critical hospital areas.
    • To provide a framework for evaluating departmental performance in financial, developmental, process, and patient-centric dimensions.

    Summary:

    • Operating room management is vital for hospitals, especially under financial strain.
    • Establishing robust data analysis and benchmarking is essential for effective OR and anesthesia department management.
    • Key performance indicators (KPIs) are discussed and exemplified for anesthesia departments to measure performance.

    Impact:

    • Enables data-driven decision-making for OR and anesthesia department leaders.
    • Facilitates performance improvement through objective measurement and benchmarking.
    • Contributes to enhanced hospital efficiency and patient care through optimized resource allocation.
