The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison02:57

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...

Lazarus's Cognitive Appraisal Theory01:20

Lazarus's Cognitive Appraisal Theory

2.1K
Cognitive psychologist Richard Lazarus proposed the cognitive-mediational theory of emotions, which emphasizes how individuals' assessments of stressors significantly affect their experience of stress. According to Lazarus, the stress response is determined by a two-step appraisal process: primary appraisal and secondary appraisal. These cognitive appraisals help individuals evaluate the potential impact of a stressor and determine the adequacy of their coping resources.
Primary Appraisal:...

Regulation of Food Intake01:30

Regulation of Food Intake

2.9K
Short-term regulation of food intake primarily involves neural signals from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, blood nutrient levels, and GI tract hormones. Communication between the gut and brain via vagal nerve fibers plays a significant role in evaluating the contents of the gut. Clinical studies have shown that protein ingestion produces a more prolonged response in these nerve fibers compared to an equivalent amount of glucose. Additionally, the activation of stretch receptors caused by GI...

Microorganisms in Agriculture and Food industry

1.6K
Microorganisms play a crucial role in agriculture and the food industry, contributing to soil fertility, crop protection, and food production. Their functions range from nitrogen fixation and biopesticide production to fermentation and food preservation, making them indispensable to sustainable farming and food safety.Role in AgricultureNitrogen-fixing bacteria, such as Rhizobium (symbiotic) and Azotobacter (free-living), convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia through biological nitrogen...

Pharmacokinetics: Drug–Food and Drug–Viral Interactions01:26

Pharmacokinetics: Drug–Food and Drug–Viral Interactions

272
A drug interaction occurs when the concurrent use of another drug, food, or an external substance alters the pharmacological activity of a drug. This interaction can modify the action of the original drug, affecting its effectiveness and safety.Drug–food interactions are significant as they impact drug absorption, metabolism, and excretion. For example, grapefruit juice is a well-known disruptor of drug metabolism. It inhibits the cytochrome P450 3A4 enzyme, crucial for the metabolism of...

Theory of Romantic Attachment in Adulthood

50.0K
Attachment is a long-standing connection or bond with others. While Attachment Theory was conceived in developmental psychology to describe infant-caregiver bonding, it's been extended into adulthood to include romantic relationships.

Area of Science:

  • Food security studies
  • Cognitive science
  • Public health

Background:

  • Food insecurity is a significant public health issue with complex determinants.
  • Individual appraisal significantly impacts the perception of food security.
  • Obesity is increasingly recognized as having potential cognitive consequences.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the mechanisms of food insecurity appraisal.
  • To examine the relationship between food appraisal and obesity.
  • To discuss the bidirectional links between appraisal, food insecurity, and obesity.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis of appraisal theory in the context of food insecurity.
  • Review of existing literature on obesity and cognitive function.
  • Exploration of potential pathways linking appraisal, food insecurity, and obesity.

Main Results:

  • Appraisal is a key process determining individual perceptions of food security.
  • Obesity may influence cognitive functions relevant to food insecurity appraisal.
  • Reciprocal relationships between appraisal and obesity are plausible.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding food insecurity appraisal is crucial for public health interventions.
  • The interplay between obesity, cognitive function, and food insecurity appraisal warrants further investigation.
  • Addressing both appraisal mechanisms and obesity may improve food security outcomes.
