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

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

56.1K
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...

Social Traps

27.0K
Social traps are negative situations where people get caught in a direction or relationship that later proves to be unpleasant, with no easy way to back out of or avoid. The concept was orignally introduced by John Platt who applied psychology to Garrett Hardin's "Tragedy of the Commons", where in New England herd owners could let their cattle graze in the common ground. This situation seems like a good idea, but an individual could have an advantage. If they owned...

Social Proof

Social proof is a form of persuasion based on comparison and conformity. People compare their behavior and actions to what others are doing and will change to conform to do what their peers do.

Social Scripts

10.3K
People tend to know what behavior is expected of them in specific, familiar settings. A script is a person’s knowledge about the sequence of events expected in a specific setting (Schank & Abelson, 1977). Essentially, scripts are a particular kind of schema, one containing default values for the features within an event. In the restaurant example, the script's features include the props (e.g., tables, menu, food, and money), the roles to be played (e.g., customer and waiter),...

Social Facilitation01:04

Social Facilitation

36.6K
Not all intergroup interactions lead to negative outcomes. Sometimes, being in a group situation can improve performance. Social facilitation occurs when an individual performs better when an audience is watching than when the individual performs the behavior alone. This typically occurs when people are performing a task for which they are skilled.

Social Loafing01:37

Social Loafing

39.7K
Another way in which a group presence can affect performance is social loafing—the exertion of less effort by a person working together with a group. Social loafing occurs when our individual performance cannot be evaluated separately from the group. Thus, group performance declines on easy tasks (Karau & Williams, 1993). Essentially individual group members loaf and let other group members pick up the slack. Because each individual’s efforts cannot be evaluated,...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Most trauma survivors adapt well, not developing PTSD. This study found improved social support aids constructive posttraumatic growth (PTG) in struggling individuals, highlighting tailored interventions for diverse adaptation profiles.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Trauma Studies
  • Mental Health Research

Background:

  • Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) affects a minority of trauma survivors.
  • Resilience and posttraumatic growth (PTG) are more common adaptation trajectories.
  • Understanding diverse adaptation profiles is crucial for mental health interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe posttrauma adaptation profiles in Israeli male military veterans (N=448).
  • To identify protective factors promoting constructive PTG within identified adaptation profiles.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized secondary data analysis.
  • Employed latent profile mixture models and logistic regression analyses.

Main Results:

  • Demographics, combat variables, coping strategies, and social support changes did not predict constructive growth in the resilient group.
  • Improved perceived social support significantly increased the odds of constructive growth among those in a struggling adaptation subset.

Conclusions:

  • Clinical interventions should be tailored to complex posttrauma adaptation profiles.
  • Posttrauma adaptation is a dynamic, time-dependent process.
  • Further research should explore the quality of PTG and contextual protective factors.
