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...

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

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.

Drug Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena

1.4K
Drug dependence, abuse, and addiction are complex phenomena that can precipitate various abnormal states. Physical dependence refers to a state of pharmacological adaptation to a drug. This adaptation often results in tolerance—a reduced response to the drug after repeated administrations. When the drug use is abruptly stopped, withdrawal symptoms occur due to the body's need to readjust from the pharmacologically induced imbalance. However, tolerance and withdrawal symptoms do not...

Erikson's Theory on Socioemotional Development during Adolescence

1.7K
Erik Erikson's fifth stage of psychosocial development, "identity versus role confusion," is crucial during adolescence (ages 12 to 18). In this stage, adolescents face the developmental task of forging a distinct personal identity, a process influenced by social, psychological, and biological changes typical of this period. Adolescents naturally explore different roles, behaviors, and ideologies as they navigate complex questions of self-concept, asking, "Who am I?" and "What is my place in...

Area of Science:

  • Adolescent Psychology
  • Substance Use Disorders
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Traditional 12-step literature suggests "inconsiderate behaviors" characterize individuals with addiction.
  • Limited empirical data exists to support this association specifically within adolescent populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between alcohol and drug use severity and specific behaviors in adolescents.
  • To examine if inconsiderate behaviors are associated with substance use severity in a youth cohort.

Main Methods:

  • A matched-pair study design was employed.
  • The study included 579 adolescents aged 14-18 years.
  • Data analyzed the association between substance use severity and various behaviors.

Main Results:

  • A significant, dose-response relationship was observed between higher alcohol and drug use severity and increased likelihood of driving under the influence.
  • Greater substance use severity correlated with higher rates of unprotected sex, with or without a history of sexually transmitted infections.
  • Low volunteerism was also associated with increased substance use severity, notably among boys.

Conclusions:

  • Adolescent alcohol and drug use severity is significantly associated with a range of high-risk behaviors.
  • Findings suggest that increased substance use severity may be linked to diminished awareness of how one's actions impact others.
  • The study highlights the need for interventions addressing both substance use and behavioral consequences in adolescents.
