Impact of Social Context on Individuals01:21

Impact of Social Context on Individuals

474
Social psychology examines how the real or imagined presence of others influences individuals' thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. A key concept in this field is the role of social context in shaping behavior. The same individual may act differently depending on the social setting, due to the varying expectations and norms associated with each environment. This context-dependent behavior illustrates the influence of social roles, which prescribe appropriate conduct in specific situations.Social...

Self Within Cultural Contexts01:30

Self Within Cultural Contexts

317
Cultural frameworks for understanding the self are often categorized into two broad orientations: individualism and collectivism. These paradigms influence how people define themselves, relate to others, and interpret their social worlds. Each orientation offers distinct perspectives on autonomy, responsibility, and the role of the individual within a community.Individualistic CulturesIn individualistic cultures like North America and Western Europe, identity is understood as autonomous and...

Naturalistic Observations

18.2K
If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

Role-Based Identity01:21

Role-Based Identity

292
Role-based identities are central to understanding how individuals navigate social environments by adopting distinct self-conceptions aligned with various societal roles. These identities are not fixed traits but are constructed through personal actions and the social feedback individuals receive in context-specific interactions. Each social role, such as student, teacher, or friend, carries a set of expectations and norms that influence how people think, feel, and behave within that...

Vygotsky's Cognitive Development in Cultural Context01:22

Vygotsky's Cognitive Development in Cultural Context

1.7K
Lev Vygotsky, a pioneering Russian psychologist, developed a theory of cognitive development that centers on the influence of social and cultural factors. Unlike Jean Piaget, who emphasized the child's direct interaction with the physical world as key to development, Vygotsky argued that cognitive growth is an interpersonal process that unfolds within a cultural context. For Vygotsky, a child's learning cannot be separated from their social environment, which includes the values,...

Area of Science:

  • Implementation Science
  • Healthcare Management
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Contextual elements critically influence the adoption of healthcare innovations.
  • Existing frameworks suggest context interactions, but practical examples are scarce.
  • This study addresses this gap by exploring interconnected contextual patterns in an anticoagulation clinic initiative.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify interconnected patterns among contextual elements influencing the uptake of a quality improvement initiative in anticoagulation clinics.
  • To understand how these interrelationships act as facilitators or barriers to evidence-based practice (EBP) implementation.

Main Methods:

  • Employed 51 semi-structured interviews and ethnographic observations across five case study sites.
  • Utilized NVivo 10 for data analysis with a priori (PARIHS model) and emergent thematic approaches.

Main Results:

  • Key contextual elements (leadership, teamwork, communication) interact, influencing EBP uptake unpredictably when viewed in isolation.
  • Sites with strong, supportive contexts showed high uptake; uniformly weak contexts led to low uptake.
  • Mixed contexts presented challenges, where even one weak area could impede uptake despite strengths elsewhere.

Conclusions:

  • Interconnections among contextual elements can either hinder or facilitate implementation success.
  • The Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services (PARIHS) model, when accounting for these interconnections, better explains real-world implementation determinants.
