Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping02:05

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

45.1K
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...

Strategies of Self-Presentation III: Self-Monitoring

381
Self-monitoring is a central construct in understanding individual differences in self-presentation strategies across social contexts. It refers to how individuals observe, regulate, and control their expressive behavior and self-presentation following situational cues. Self-monitoring reflects a person's sensitivity to social appropriateness and willingness to adapt behavior to fit varying interpersonal demands.High vs. Low Self-Monitoring IndividualsIndividuals high in self-monitoring are...

Self-Discrepancy Theory

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.

Self-Regulation01:25

Self-Regulation

311
Self-regulation, also known as self-control, encompasses a range of cognitive and behavioral processes that allow individuals to adjust their internal states and outward actions to align with socially acceptable norms and long-term goals. It plays a fundamental role in adaptive functioning, from resisting impulsive behaviors to persisting through challenging tasks. While its benefits are widely recognized, self-regulation is not limitless. Muraven and Baumeister's theory posits that...

Self-Awareness and Its Effects01:21

Self-Awareness and Its Effects

362
Self-awareness is a psychological state in which the individual becomes the focal point of their attention. This inward focus transforms the self into an object of contemplation and assessment, influencing how individuals perceive their actions and their alignment with personal and societal standards.Triggers and Contexts for Self-AwarenessSelf-awareness can be activated by external stimuli that make individuals visually or audibly aware of themselves, such as mirrors, cameras, or recordings.

Social Foundations of Self II: The Generalized Other01:20

Social Foundations of Self II: The Generalized Other

358
According to George Herbert Mead, as children progress beyond the game stage, they develop a more comprehensive understanding of societal rules and norms. This cognitive and social development enables them to internalize the expectations of the broader community, refining their ability to regulate behavior.Consistent participation in organized activities is crucial in helping children recognize that their actions are not isolated but contribute to a more significant, interconnected group...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Transportation Psychology
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Previous research on psychosocial factors and driving behavior in older adults has been limited to cross-sectional studies.
  • Understanding the longitudinal relationship between attitudes and driving behavior is crucial for promoting safe mobility in aging populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the longitudinal associations between changes in psychosocial driving variables and changes in driving practices and abilities among older adults.
  • To examine how shifts in attitudes (decisional balance) and driving comfort (day/night) predict subsequent driving restrictions and perceived driving ability declines.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized three waves of annual data from 928 older drivers (mean age 76.21 years) from the Candrive II cohort.
  • Employed multi-level modeling to analyze changes in attitudes, driving comfort, driving restrictions, and perceived driving abilities over time.

Main Results:

  • An increase in negative attitudes towards driving over time was significantly associated with increased self-reported driving restrictions.
  • Older adults with worsening attitudes also reported greater perceived declines in their driving abilities.
  • Conversely, stable attitudes were linked to more stable driving practices and abilities.

Conclusions:

  • Changes in psychosocial factors, specifically negative attitude shifts, longitudinally predict reduced driving engagement and perceived ability decline in older adults.
  • This study highlights the importance of attitudes and perceptions in the self-regulation of driving behavior in aging.
  • Findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the dynamic interplay between attitudes, comfort, and driving behavior over time in older drivers.
