The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison02:57

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...

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.

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...

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...

Understanding the Self01:28

Understanding the Self

The self is a central aspect of human identity, encompassing an individual’s beliefs, emotions, perceptions, and experiences. It is a cognitive and psychological construct that enables individuals to interpret their traits and behaviors, influencing how they perceive themselves and interact with the world. While personality consists of stable and enduring characteristics, the self is shaped by self-perception and social experiences. This distinction highlights the dynamic nature of the...

    Area of Science:

    • Workplace design
    • Organizational psychology
    • Human-computer interaction

    Background:

    • Open offices are prevalent for fostering collaboration, learning, and culture.
    • Historically, workspace design has oscillated between prioritizing privacy and accessibility.
    • Current trends lean towards collaborative spaces, potentially at the expense of individual privacy needs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the evolving concept of privacy in the workplace.
    • To analyze the balance between collaborative and private spaces in contemporary office design.
    • To offer insights for creating workspaces that support both teamwork and solitude.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review on workspace design trends and privacy.
    • Analysis of historical shifts in employee preferences for workspace environments.
    • Conceptual examination of privacy beyond physical boundaries.

    Main Results:

    • The dominant open office model may not adequately support the natural rhythm of collaboration, which includes private contemplation.
    • Employee needs have shifted, with a resurgence in the demand for privacy for focused work and managing intensity.
    • Traditional definitions of privacy are insufficient; modern privacy involves controlling information and stimulation.

    Conclusions:

    • Workspace design must evolve to incorporate a nuanced understanding of privacy.
    • Rethinking privacy as informational and stimulative control is crucial for effective workspace strategies.
    • Future workspace designs should aim to integrate both collaborative and solitary zones to support diverse work needs.
