Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

45.2K
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 Influence of Cognition on Affect

292
Cognition plays a pivotal role in shaping emotional experiences, as demonstrated by Schachter and Singer’s two-factor theory of emotion. According to this model, emotion arises from a combination of physiological arousal and cognitive interpretation. The body’s physiological response to stimuli is ambiguous and only gains emotional significance through cognitive labeling. For instance, an increased heart rate and adrenaline surge while standing near an attractive person may be...

Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy

Cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBTs) are grounded in the belief that our thoughts profoundly influence our emotions and actions. Advocates of CBT emphasize three core assumptions: first, that cognitions are identifiable and measurable; second, that they are central to psychological functioning; and third, that irrational or maladaptive beliefs can be replaced with rational and adaptive ones. This transformative approach to therapy has paved the way for specific models such as Albert...

Cognitive Therapy

Cognitive therapy, pioneered by Aaron T. Beck in the 1960s, is a structured approach to addressing psychological distress by focusing on the influence of thoughts on emotions and behaviors. All cognitive therapies involve the basic assumption that human beings have control over their feelings, and that how individuals feel about something depends on how they think about it. Unlike psychoanalytic methods that delve into unconscious processes or humanistic approaches emphasizing...

Cognitive therapy is a psychological approach designed to address distortions in thinking, which can lead to negative emotions and unrealistic beliefs. These cognitive distortions often influence how individuals interpret and respond to situations, exacerbating emotional distress. Below are some prevalent cognitive distortions, their characteristics, and examples of how they manifest in thought processes.

Operant Conditioning Intervention01:24

Operant Conditioning Intervention

657
Operant conditioning serves as a foundational principle in therapeutic interventions aimed at modifying maladaptive behaviors. Central to this approach is the notion that behaviors, both adaptive and maladaptive, are learned through reinforcement. By analyzing the environmental factors that reinforce problematic behaviors, clinicians can design interventions to weaken these reinforcements and replace maladaptive behaviors with healthier alternatives.
In operant conditioning, behaviors that are...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Cognitive behavioral therapies (CBT) are widely studied and effective for gambling problems.
  • However, statistical validation of cognitive behavioral models for gambling behavior is limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To statistically test the pathways proposed in the cognitive behavioral theory of gambling behavior.
  • To examine the role of psychological states, coping styles, and urges in gambling behavior.

Main Methods:

  • Structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to analyze data from 969 community participants.
  • Participants completed questionnaires on gambling urges, cognitions, behaviors, psychological states (depression, anxiety, stress), and coping styles.

Main Results:

  • Negative psychological states directly predicted gambling behavior.
  • Gambling urges predicted gambling behavior directly and indirectly through gambling cognitions.
  • Avoidance coping indirectly predicted gambling behavior via gambling cognitions.
  • Negative psychological states correlated with gambling cognitions and avoidance coping.
  • Significant gender differences in gambling behavior were observed.

Conclusions:

  • The study confirmed the validity of pathways within the cognitive behavioral theory of gambling behavior.
  • Negative psychological states, gambling urges, and coping styles are key factors influencing gambling behavior.
  • Gender differences are important to consider when conceptualizing and treating gambling behavior.
