Sources of Self-Esteem II: Performance Feedback01:24

Sources of Self-Esteem II: Performance Feedback

200
Self-esteem is intricately tied to our perception of competence and our ability to exert control over our lives. One of the primary sources of this perception is performance feedback — the ongoing evaluation of our actions in terms of success and failure. According to Franks and Marolla (1976), people derive self-worth from experiencing themselves as causal agents, capable of achieving goals and overcoming obstacles. This process nurtures a critical component of self-esteem:...

Radical Formation: Elimination00:51

Radical Formation: Elimination

2.4K
Another method of radical formation is the elimination process. It is the opposite of the addition route and is driven by the instability of the radical. For example, as depicted in Figure 1, dibenzoyl peroxide yields a pair of unstable radicals upon homolysis. Given its instability, this radical spontaneously undergoes elimination via a C–C bond cleavage to form a relatively more stable phenyl radical. The mechanism involves cleavage of the bond between the α and β positions with respect...

Radical Formation: Abstraction00:47

Radical Formation: Abstraction

4.4K
The electron of an atom can be abstracted from a compound by a relatively unstable radical to generate a new radical of relatively greater stability. For example, an initiator which forms radicals by homolysis can abstract a suitable species like a hydrogen atom or a halogen atom from a compound to generate a new radical. This ability of radicals to propagate by abstraction is a crucial feature of radical chain reactions.
Even though homolysis produces radicals, it is different from radical...

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

56.2K
According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Role-Based Identity01:21

Role-Based Identity

231
Role-based identities are central to understanding how individuals navigate social environments by adopting distinct self-conceptions aligned with various societal roles. These identities are not fixed traits but are constructed through personal actions and the social feedback individuals receive in context-specific interactions. Each social role, such as student, teacher, or friend, carries a set of expectations and norms that influence how people think, feel, and behave within that...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Increased education for girls in Kenya reduced acceptance of domestic violence and political authority, boosting political knowledge. However, it did not increase political efficacy or participation, with some evidence suggesting increased acceptance of political violence.

Area of Science:

  • Development Economics
  • Political Science
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Education is often viewed as a tool for empowerment, particularly for disadvantaged groups.
  • Understanding the multifaceted impacts of education on societal norms and political engagement is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the political and social consequences of enhanced educational attainment among young women.
  • To assess how a merit scholarship program influences attitudes towards authority and civic participation.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a randomized girls' merit scholarship program in Kenya.
  • Measured impacts on test scores, secondary schooling, acceptance of domestic violence, political knowledge, political efficacy, and participation.

Main Results:

  • The scholarship program significantly raised test scores and secondary schooling rates.
  • Participants showed reduced acceptance of domestic violence and political authority.
  • Objective political knowledge among young women in program schools increased.
  • No significant increase was observed in perceived political efficacy, community participation, or voting intentions.
  • Suggestive evidence indicates an increased perception of the legitimacy of political violence.

Conclusions:

  • Education can empower disadvantaged individuals to question established norms and authority.
  • While education can foster critical thinking and reduce acceptance of certain inequalities, its impact on direct political engagement and efficacy is complex.
  • Further research is needed to understand the nuanced relationship between education, societal change, and political attitudes, including the potential for increased acceptance of political violence.
