Self-Discrepancy Theory02:45

Self-Discrepancy Theory

19.1K
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.

Work is a fundamental concept of mechanical engineering and has many applications. Understanding how work is calculated and the different types of work can help us better understand physical processes and provide insights into complex problems.
Work is defined as the result of a force acting on an object, causing it to move along the line of action of force. It is also defined as the process of transferring energy through the application of force on an object, resulting in its displacement.

Work

Work is done when energy is transferred from one object to another. In other words, work is when a force acts on something that undergoes a displacement from one position to another. Forces can vary as a function of position, and displacements can be along various paths between two points. The increment of work (dW) done by a force acting through an infinitesimal displacement can be defined as the dot product of force () and displacement () vectors.
The dot product can be expressed in terms of...

Social Traps01:41

Social Traps

27.1K
Social traps are negative situations where people get caught in a direction or relationship that later proves to be unpleasant, with no easy way to back out of or avoid. The concept was orignally introduced by John Platt who applied psychology to Garrett Hardin's "Tragedy of the Commons", where in New England herd owners could let their cattle graze in the common ground. This situation seems like a good idea, but an individual could have an advantage. If they owned...

Area of Science:

  • Organizational Psychology
  • Sociology of Work

Background:

  • Extensive research on the work-family interface since the 1960s has not reduced work-family conflict.
  • Current workplace practices contribute to an all-time high in work-family conflict.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review existing work-family research.
  • To propose a shift in focus from individual experiences to the role of identity and status in workplace norms.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of work-family research.
  • Analysis of the psychological infrastructure supporting workplace norms.

Main Results:

  • The "work devotion schema" enshrines identities tied to workplace norms, demanding work as a sole life focus.
  • This schema reinforces valued class and gender identities, linking work devotion to status and masculinity.
  • Resistance to change stems from threats to these cherished identities, hindering even economically-based arguments for reform.

Conclusions:

  • Current workplace norms are maintained by psychological factors tied to identity and status.
  • Addressing the mismatch between the modern workforce and workplace requires challenging the "work devotion schema" and its underlying identity structures.
