Social Cognitive Perspective on Personality01:30

Social Cognitive Perspective on Personality

1.0K
Social cognitive perspectives on personality emphasize the importance of conscious awareness, beliefs, expectations, and goals in shaping behavior. These perspectives incorporate behaviorist principles, such as learning through reinforcement and conditioning, but extend beyond them by highlighting human reasoning and planning. Unlike traditional behaviorist views, social cognitive theory focuses on how individuals reflect on their past experiences and plan for future outcomes by considering...

Long-term Depression

33.3K
Long-term depression, or LTD, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTD is the process of synaptic weakening that occurs over time between pre and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic weakening of LTD works in opposition to synaptic strengthening by long-term potentiation (LTP) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.

Freezing Point Depression and Boiling Point Elevation

Boiling Point Elevation
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure is equal to ambient atmospheric pressure. Since the vapor pressure of a solution is lowered due to the presence of nonvolatile solutes, it stands to reason that the solution’s boiling point will subsequently be increased. Vapor pressure increases with temperature, and so a solution will require a higher temperature than will pure solvent to achieve any given vapor pressure, including one...

Depressants01:28

Depressants

450
Depressant drugs, including alcohol and sedative-hypnotics, diminish central nervous system activity by enhancing the action of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter that reduces brain activity and promotes relaxation. These substances can have various therapeutic uses but also pose significant risks, especially when misused or combined.
Alcohol is a common depressant that can induce a sense of relaxation and reduced inhibition at low doses. Contrary to its occasional...

Cognitive Dissonance01:38

Cognitive Dissonance

37.5K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Cognitive science reveals that depression involves negative biases in thinking and memory, alongside poor emotion regulation. Difficulty controlling negative thoughts sustains depressive moods and hinders treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive science
  • Psychology
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Depression is linked to cognitive biases and maladaptive emotion regulation.
  • Cognitive control deficits may underlie these processes in depression.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review evidence on cognitive processes in depression.
  • To discuss implications for theory, practice, and future research.

Main Methods:

  • Review of 50 years of research on cognitive science and depression.
  • Analysis of studies on self-referential processing, attention, memory, and emotion regulation.

Main Results:

  • Depression is characterized by negative cognitive biases and impaired emotion regulation.
  • Difficulty inhibiting negative material in working memory exacerbates depression.
  • Cognitive deficits sustain negative mood and impede treatment.

Conclusions:

  • Cognitive science offers a framework for understanding depression's onset, maintenance, and treatment.
  • Future research should explore cognitive mechanisms for targeted interventions.
