Self-Help Support Groups01:28

Self-Help Support Groups

437
Self-help support groups are voluntary, community-based organizations that provide a platform for individuals with shared concerns to exchange support, insights, and practical strategies for coping with life challenges. Typically led by group members or paraprofessionals, these groups form a cornerstone of mental health care, especially in reaching populations that are underserved by traditional healthcare systems.

Longitudinal Research02:20

Longitudinal Research

13.6K
Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Introspection01:29

Introspection

388
Introspection, long upheld as a reliable route to self-knowledge, involves examining one's thoughts, emotions, and mental processes. It underpins many psychological practices, from mindfulness meditation to psychotherapy and self-help strategies. However, empirical evidence challenges the accuracy of introspection as a means of understanding oneself.Limitations of Introspective InsightSeminal work by Nisbett and Wilson demonstrated that individuals are frequently unaware of the true causes...

The Therapeutic Alliance
The therapeutic alliance refers to the relationship between the therapist and the client. The alliance strengthens when the therapist and the client engage in a nurturing, supportive, trusting, empathetic, and respectful relationship, improving therapeutic outcomes. Therapists must monitor this relationship...

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model01:29

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model

377
The Self-Evaluation Maintenance (SEM) model offers a psychological framework to understand how individuals’ self-esteem is influenced by the achievements of others, particularly those with whom they share close personal bonds. The SEM model operates when personal rather than social identity guides individuals. Central to this model is the notion that individuals have an inherent desire to preserve a favorable self-image, which is continuously shaped by interpersonal comparisons and...

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

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...

Area of Science:

  • Behavioral Science
  • Digital Health
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • Computer-based cognitive-behavioral self-help therapy (cCBT-SH) shows promise for treating substance use disorders.
  • High attrition rates hinder the effectiveness and scalability of cCBT-SH programs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore user experiences and identify barriers and facilitators to cCBT-SH engagement.
  • To inform strategies for improving completion rates in digital mental health interventions.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative interviews were conducted with individuals who dropped out of a cCBT-SH program for insomnia.
  • Thematic analysis was used to identify reasons for attrition and facilitators of engagement.

Main Results:

  • Key barriers included competing demands, personal attributes, the digital format, and negative program experiences.
  • Facilitators comprised personal support, the cCBT-SH format, and individual characteristics.
  • Attrition was linked to practical challenges and program-specific issues.

Conclusions:

  • Integrating person-to-person support into cCBT-SH can enhance engagement and completion.
  • Tailoring digital interventions to address individual needs and contextual factors is crucial for success.
  • Further research should focus on optimizing cCBT-SH delivery to maximize patient outcomes.
