Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

44.9K
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-Report Tests of Personality

1.1K
Self-report inventories are objective personality assessments that use multiple-choice items or numbered scales, typically ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). They are often called Likert scales after Rensis Likert. These inventories are widely used due to their ease of administration and cost-effectiveness. One of the most prominent examples is the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), initially developed in the 1940s to assess abnormal personality traits.

Hypothesis Test for Test of Independence

8.3K
The test of independence is a chi-square-based test used to determine whether two variables or factors are independent or dependent. This hypothesis test is used to examine the independence of the variables. One can construct two qualitative survey questions or experiments based on the variables in a contingency table. The goal is to see if the two variables are unrelated (independent) or related (dependent). The null and alternative hypotheses for this test are:

Strategies of Self-Presentation III: Self-Monitoring

342
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-Esteem and Culture01:26

Self-Esteem and Culture

264
Self-esteem, a core psychological construct, is intricately shaped by cultural context and varies significantly between collectivist and individualistic societies. In collectivist cultures such as Japan, self-esteem tends to be flexible, context-sensitive, and influenced by relationships. A Japanese student, for instance, may show restraint in formal settings like school but behave more openly among close friends, reflecting the flexible and dynamic nature of self-concept in such...

Surveys

17.2K
Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Summary

Self-reported alcohol consumption is equally valid across Arab and Jewish Israeli pub patrons. This study found consistent reporting of alcohol use and Breath Alcohol Content (BrAC) in both ethno-cultural groups, suggesting cross-cultural validity.

Area of Science:

  • Sociology
  • Public Health
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Limited evidence exists on cross-cultural validity of self-reported alcohol consumption.
  • Sociocultural differences may influence reporting accuracy of alcohol use.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine if the validity of self-reported alcohol use differs between Arab and Jewish Israeli pub patrons.
  • To assess cross-cultural comparability of alcohol consumption reporting.

Main Methods:

  • 227 Arab and 900 Jewish Israeli pub patrons provided self-reported alcohol consumption and Breath Alcohol Content (BrAC) data.
  • Concordance between self-reported drinks and BrAC was analyzed using Pearson correlations.
  • Multi-group measurement invariance (MI) comparison was performed to assess cross-group validity.

Main Results:

  • Pearson correlations between self-reported drinks and BrAC were similar across groups (Arabs: r=0.42; Jews: r=0.47).
  • Measurement invariance tests confirmed similar factor loadings for drinking measures across ethno-cultural groups.
  • No significant systematic differences in reporting validity were found.

Conclusions:

  • Self-reported alcohol consumption provides cross-culturally valid estimates in this sample of Israeli Arabs and Jews.
  • Findings support the use of self-report measures for alcohol consumption in diverse populations.
