Introspection01:29

Introspection

430
Introspection, long upheld as a reliable route to self-knowledge, involves examining one's thoughts, emotions, and mental processes. It underpins many psychological practices, from mindfulness meditation to psychotherapy and self-help strategies. However, empirical evidence challenges the accuracy of introspection as a means of understanding oneself.Limitations of Introspective InsightSeminal work by Nisbett and Wilson demonstrated that individuals are frequently unaware of the true causes...

The Looking Glass Self01:28

The Looking Glass Self

627
The concept of the looking-glass self describes how an individual's self-concept is shaped by their perception of how others see them. This psychological theory, first introduced by sociologist Charles Horton Cooley in 1902, posits that self-identity emerges in a social context and is influenced by the judgments—real or imagined—of others.Research suggests that individuals frequently overestimate how positively others perceive them. This is particularly evident in physical...

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...

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

57.0K
According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model01:29

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model

409
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...

Area of Science:

  • Digital health
  • Biomedical engineering
  • Behavioral science

Background:

  • Cardio-metabolic diseases pose a significant global health challenge.
  • Fostering sustainable lifestyle changes requires effective and personalized user guidance.
  • Current methods for risk detection and lifestyle intervention often lack integration and personalization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the Wize Mirror, a novel multisensory device for detecting semeiotic facial signs indicative of cardio-metabolic risk.
  • To outline a framework for personalized user guidance aimed at promoting healthier habits and reducing health risks.
  • To highlight solutions developed within the EU FP7 Project SEMEOTICONS for user profiling, wellness indexing, and personalized coaching.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a multisensory device (Wize Mirror) capable of analyzing facial cues.
  • Creation of a wellness index derived from biophysical data.
  • Implementation of personalized coaching and supportive messaging strategies.
  • Integration of user profiling techniques for tailored interventions.

Main Results:

  • The Wize Mirror demonstrates potential for non-invasive detection of cardio-metabolic risk factors through facial analysis.
  • The proposed framework integrates user data to provide personalized lifestyle recommendations.
  • The SEMEOTICONS project solutions offer advancements over existing state-of-the-art approaches in user guidance for health behavior change.

Conclusions:

  • The Wize Mirror and the SEMEOTICONS framework offer a promising approach to proactive health management.
  • Personalized, data-driven guidance can effectively encourage users to adopt healthier lifestyles.
  • This technology has the potential to significantly impact the prevention and management of cardio-metabolic diseases.
