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

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

44.8K
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...

Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep

468
Substance use disorders involve a pattern of using drugs more extensively than intended and continuing use despite harmful consequences. This includes legal substances like alcohol and nicotine, as well as illegal drugs. These disorders often involve both physical and psychological dependence, reflecting compulsive use of substances that significantly alter thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, contributing to a major public health issue.
Understanding the concepts of physical dependence,...

CNS Depressants: Alcohol and Nicotine

1.4K
Ethanol, a clear colorless alcohol, has been consumed by humans for millennia, but its effects on the body are far from benign. At lower doses, it induces decreased inhibitions and loquaciousness, leading to its social appeal. However, it can cause severe consequences at higher doses, such as coma and respiratory depression, due to its zero-order elimination kinetics. Chronic ethanol abuse wreaks havoc on multiple organ systems, particularly the CNS and the liver. Abrupt cessation of ethanol...

Stress Prevention and Stress Management Techniques IV

283
Stress often leads to unhealthy habits like smoking, excessive drinking, and overeating, which offer short-term relief but ultimately increase long-term health risks. These behaviors create a cycle that temporarily lowers stress levels but can result in severe long-term health consequences. Breaking these habits is essential to reduce the risk of chronic diseases and improve overall well-being. Three primary changes that support better health include quitting smoking, reducing alcohol intake,...

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:
H0: The two variables (factors)...

Conduct Disorder01:28

Conduct Disorder

660
Conduct disorder is a complex mental health diagnosis characterized by a repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior that violates societal norms, the rights of others, or age-appropriate rules. The diagnostic criteria for conduct disorder require the presence of at least three problematic behaviors within the past 12 months, with at least one occurring in the past six months. These behaviors are grouped into four categories: aggression toward people and animals; destruction of property;...

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Psychology
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Problematic alcohol consumption in professional settings, particularly among academics, is understudied.
  • Psychosocial factors influencing alcohol use require further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess problematic alcohol consumption in university professors in Ecuador.
  • To identify associated psychosocial variables, examining gender differences.

Main Methods:

  • Survey of 360 university professors (183 men, 177 women) using standardized psychosocial instruments.
  • Assessment of alcohol consumption, job satisfaction, psychological stress, psychological flexibility, social support, and resilience.

Main Results:

  • Overall problematic alcohol consumption was 13.1%, significantly higher in men (19.1%) than women (6.8%).
  • Men with problematic use reported higher stress and job satisfaction; women reported lower job satisfaction and higher psychological inflexibility.
  • Job satisfaction did not prevent problematic alcohol use in men; stress was linked in men, and psychological inflexibility in women.

Conclusions:

  • Problematic alcohol consumption patterns and associated psychosocial factors differ significantly between male and female professors.
  • Intervention strategies for problematic alcohol use in academics must be gender-specific.
