Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping02:05

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

45.3K
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...

Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication

277
Since the early 2000s, computer-mediated communication (CMC) has grown rapidly, playing a crucial role in self-development. A key distinction between CMC and real-life interactions is the lack of a physically present partner. This absence makes non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, body language, and paralinguistic signals unavailable in CMC platforms like email, instant messaging, or social media. The lack of these cues can create ambiguity and complicate how feedback is interpreted.The...

Strategies of Self-Presentation II: Self-Verification01:17

Strategies of Self-Presentation II: Self-Verification

269
Self-verification is a fundamental psychological drive wherein individuals seek affirmation of their self-concept from others, striving for consistency between their internal self-view and external perceptions. This drive operates even when the self-concept is negative, influencing interpersonal behavior and feedback preferences in complex and often counterintuitive ways. Unlike the self-enhancement motive, which seeks positive evaluations, self-verification prioritizes coherence and...

Area of Science:

  • Behavioral Psychology
  • Digital Forensics
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Concealment is a recognized symptom of gambling disorder in the DSM-5.
  • Transaction methods vary in their digital footprint, impacting traceability.
  • Understanding transaction preferences is crucial for identifying at-risk individuals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between consumer preferences for transaction methods and the risk of developing a gambling problem.
  • To determine if preferences for certain payment methods are associated with higher Problem Gambling Severity Index scores.

Main Methods:

  • An online survey of 815 participants was conducted.
  • Hierarchical multiple regression analysis was used to assess relationships.
  • Variables controlled for included age, gender, housing status, and gambling involvement.

Main Results:

  • A preference for cash transactions, prepaid mobile phones, and internet cafes was associated with a greater risk of gambling problems.
  • These associations remained significant after controlling for demographic and gambling involvement variables.
  • Problem gamblers may opt for methods that minimize their digital trace.

Conclusions:

  • Transaction preferences can be an indicator of gambling disorder risk.
  • The findings highlight the importance of considering payment methods in gambling addiction research and intervention.
  • Individuals with gambling problems may actively seek to reduce their digital footprint.
