Social Foundations of Self I: Play and Game

220
The development of self in children is deeply rooted in social interactions, mainly through stages of play and structured games. These stages, outlined by sociologist George Herbert Mead, illustrate how children progressively learn to understand and adopt social roles, forming a cohesive sense of self.The Play Stage: Imitation and Simple Role-TakingIn the early years of childhood, the play stage is characterized by imitative behavior, where children engage in role-playing based on familiar...

The term self-esteem is often used generically, to refer to how people feel about themselves. However, according to research, there are three distinct constructs that should not be used interchangeably (Brown & Marshall, 2006).

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

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...

Archival Research

17.2K
Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

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),...

Regression Toward the Mean01:52

Regression Toward the Mean

7.1K
Regression toward the mean (“RTM”) is a phenomenon in which extremely high or low values—for example, and individual’s blood pressure at a particular moment—appear closer to a group’s average upon remeasuring. Although this statistical peculiarity is the result of random error and chance, it has been problematic across various medical, scientific, financial and psychological applications. In particular, RTM, if not taken into account, can interfere when...

Area of Science:

  • Sports Science
  • Psychology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • High-level athletes face risks for mental health issues and substance misuse.
  • Problem gambling and internet gaming disorder prevalence in athletes remain understudied.
  • This research investigates problem gambling and gaming in national team athletes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence of problem gambling and problem gaming among national team athletes.
  • To explore correlates of problem gambling and gaming in this population.
  • To compare prevalence rates between team sports and other sports.

Main Methods:

  • A web-survey was distributed to national team athletes in university settings.
  • 352 athletes participated (60% women, mean age 23.7).
  • The survey assessed mental health, lifetime problem gambling (NODS-CLiP), and problem gaming (GASA).

Main Results:

  • Lifetime prevalence of problem gambling was 7% (14% males, 1% females).
  • Lifetime prevalence of problem gaming was 2% (4% males, 1% females).
  • Problem gambling and problem gaming showed a significant association (p=0.01).

Conclusions:

  • Problem gambling rates are moderately elevated in athletes, with significant gender disparities.
  • Prevalence of problem gambling was similar in team and non-team sports.
  • Problem gaming prevalence was not higher than in the general population, but it is associated with problem gambling.
