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...

  • Public Health

Background:

  • Individuals with concealable stigmatized identities are at increased risk for problematic substance use.
  • Stigma-related stress can have profound cognitive, affective, and behavioral consequences.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a conceptual model linking identity characteristics to stigma-related stress and substance use.
  • To synthesize existing stigma and substance use models.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis and synthesis of existing literature on stigma and substance use.
  • Development of a theoretical framework.

Main Results:

  • Identity-specific content and characteristics mediate the relationship between stigma and negative outcomes.
  • A nuanced understanding of how identity factors interact with stress and substance misuse is proposed.

Conclusions:

  • The nature of a stigmatized identity plays a crucial role in vulnerability to substance misuse.
  • Further research should explore the interplay of identity, situational factors, and individual differences in substance use behaviors.
