Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

5.8K
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...

Compared to negative affect, positive emotional states promote more favorable interpretations of stimuli, cognitive flexibility, and heuristic processing. These effects highlight emotions' powerful role in shaping how individuals perceive, remember, and interact with the world.Influence on Evaluation and AttributionWhen individuals experience positive affect, they are...

Positive, Negative, and Zero Work

Work is done on an object when energy is transferred to the object. In other words, work is done when a force acts on a body that undergoes a displacement from one position to another. By definition, the work done by a force is the integral of the force with respect to the displacement along its path. Forces can vary as a function of position, and displacements can occur along various paths between two points. The magnitude of a force multiplied by the cosine of the angle that the force makes...

Attitudes

Attitude is our evaluation of a person, an idea, or an object. We have attitudes for many things ranging from products that we might pick up in the supermarket to people around the world to political policies. Typically, attitudes are favorable or unfavorable: positive or negative (Eagly & Chaiken, 1993). And, they have three components: an affective component (feelings), a behavioral component (the effect of the attitude on behavior), and a cognitive component (belief and knowledge;...

Positive Regulator Molecules

7.0K
Mitotic cell division results in daughter cells that exactly resemble the parent cell. However, errors in the DNA replication or distribution of genetic material may lead to genetic mutations that may be passed down to every new cell formed from the resulting abnormal cell. Propagation of such mutant cells is restricted through checkpoint mechanisms present at different stages of the cell cycle. These checkpoints involve regulator molecules that either promote or demote cell cycle events.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Sociology of Health and Illness

Background:

  • Nursing home staff provide essential daily care, including physical, social, and psychological support.
  • Care workers often perceive their vital contributions as undervalued by others.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the phenomenon of nursing home staff undervaluing their own work.
  • To investigate the potential impact of external perceptions on staff self-worth.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative analysis of a clinical supervision session with a nursing home carer.
  • Exploration of the carer's perception of her daily tasks and their value.

Main Results:

  • The carer described essential caregiving tasks as 'nothing special,' indicating a disconnect between her perception and the actual importance of the work.
  • The carer expressed a belief that external observers would not deem her activities valuable, despite their significance to residents.

Conclusions:

  • Nursing home staff may exhibit a pattern of undervaluing their critical roles.
  • External perceptions of aged care work could significantly influence how staff perceive their own value and importance.
