Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

45.0K
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...

Cognitive Development During Adolescence01:18

Cognitive Development During Adolescence

760
During adolescence, individuals experience significant cognitive development that enhances their understanding of others' emotions and thoughts, known as cognitive empathy. This period is marked by an increased ability to adapt to others' perspectives and a more nuanced understanding of others' mental states, a skill that is foundational for social problem-solving and conflict avoidance. The development of cognitive empathy relies heavily on the theory of mind — the...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Addiction Research
  • Adolescent Health

Background:

  • Gambling is a prevalent addictive behavior among adolescents.
  • Identifying risk factors for adolescent gambling is vital for prevention and treatment.
  • Impulsivity is a potential contributing factor to problem gambling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between impulsivity and problem gambling in adolescents.
  • To examine if impulsivity predicts the onset or maintenance of gambling problems.
  • To explore a potential bidirectional link between impulsivity and gambling behavior.

Main Methods:

  • Surveyed 874 high school students (average age 15).
  • Assessed gambling using the South Oaks Gambling Screen - Revised for Adolescents (SOGS-RA).
  • Measured impulsivity via the Impulsive Sensation Seeking Questionnaire (ZKPQ), Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11-A), and delay discounting task.
  • Employed prospective-longitudinal and cross-sectional analyses.

Main Results:

  • Longitudinal analysis: ZKPQ impulsivity subscale predicted increased risk of problem gambling (p = 0.003).
  • Cross-sectional analysis: All impulsivity measures were significantly higher in at-risk/problem gamblers compared to non-problem gamblers (p < 0.05).
  • Findings support a link between impulsivity and adolescent gambling, suggesting a bidirectional relationship.

Conclusions:

  • Impulsivity is strongly associated with problem gambling in adolescents.
  • The relationship between impulsivity and problem gambling appears bidirectional.
  • Results inform the development of targeted prevention and treatment programs for adolescent gambling issues.
