Self-Discrepancy Theory02:45

Self-Discrepancy Theory

19.0K
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.

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

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...

Longitudinal Research

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...

Self-Report Tests of Personality01:22

Self-Report Tests of Personality

1.0K
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.

A thorough health history and physical assessment are essential for identifying cardiovascular disease (CVD) symptoms and distinguishing them from other health issues.
Initial Enquiry
Ask the patient about their primary concern and thoroughly explore all reported symptoms.
Medical History

Self-Presentation01:25

Self-Presentation

337
Self-presentation is a fundamental aspect of social interaction, shaping both how others perceive individuals and how they view themselves. This dynamic process influences behaviors in various social settings, often leading people to adjust their appearance, speech, and demeanor to align with their desired identity. While self-presentation can be deliberate or unconscious, it plays a critical role in interpersonal relationships and self-perception.Forms of Self-PresentationSelf-presentation can...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Increasing physical activity among employees is linked to fewer health-related work limitations, also known as presenteeism. Promoting employee physical activity can reduce presenteeism and improve workplace health.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Public Health
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Presenteeism, or health-related work limitations, negatively impacts productivity and employee well-being.
  • Physical activity is a key determinant of overall health and may influence workplace functioning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the longitudinal relationship between self-reported physical activity and health-related work limitations (presenteeism) in a university employee population.
  • To determine if baseline physical activity predicts presenteeism and if changes in physical activity correlate with changes in presenteeism over time.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective longitudinal study design was employed using self-reported health data from 6515 university employees (2013-2015).
  • Health-related work limitations were assessed using the 8-item work limitations questionnaire.
  • Latent growth curve models analyzed associations between physical activity and work limitations, adjusting for covariates.

Main Results:

  • Baseline physical activity was inversely associated with baseline work limitations (β=-0.12, p<0.001).
  • Changes in physical activity were significantly related to changes in work limitations (β=-0.33, p=0.02).
  • No significant association was found between baseline physical activity and subsequent changes in work limitations (β=-0.06, p=0.42).

Conclusions:

  • Findings suggest that increased physical activity among employees is associated with reduced health-related work limitations.
  • Promoting physical activity interventions in employee populations may be an effective strategy to mitigate presenteeism.
  • Longitudinal improvements in physical activity correlate with improvements in workplace health and reduced limitations.
