Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping02:05

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

43.5K
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...

Self-Presentation

302
Self-presentation is a fundamental aspect of social interaction, shaping both how others perceive individuals and how they view themselves. This dynamic process influences behaviors in various social settings, often leading people to adjust their appearance, speech, and demeanor to align with their desired identity. While self-presentation can be deliberate or unconscious, it plays a critical role in interpersonal relationships and self-perception.Forms of Self-PresentationSelf-presentation can...

Strategies of Self-Presentation I: Strategic Self-Presentation

204
Strategic self-presentation refers to individuals' intentional efforts to influence how others perceive them. This process is employed in various social and professional settings, such as job interviews, dating, politics, and legal contexts, where individuals seek to shape impressions to gain social or material advantages. While people generally present themselves in ways that align with their authentic characteristics, external factors, such as cognitive load, can hinder their ability to...

Processes of Self-Presentation

212
Effective self-presentation is a central component of social interaction and identity construction. It relies on the dynamic processes of defining the situation and engaging in self-disclosure. These mechanisms help individuals navigate social context expectations and manage how others perceive them, fostering mutual understanding and relationship development.Defining the SituationSocial situations are shaped by collectively understood frames—a set of widely understood rules or...

Strategies of Self-Presentation II: Self-Verification

184
Self-verification is a fundamental psychological drive wherein individuals seek affirmation of their self-concept from others, striving for consistency between their internal self-view and external perceptions. This drive operates even when the self-concept is negative, influencing interpersonal behavior and feedback preferences in complex and often counterintuitive ways. Unlike the self-enhancement motive, which seeks positive evaluations, self-verification prioritizes coherence and...

Brain Imaging

701
Brain imaging technologies provide critical insights into both the structure and function of the human brain, enabling medical professionals and researchers to diagnose, study, and treat neurological disorders or psychiatric disorders more effectively.
These technologies include computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans),  magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),  functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Transcranial Magnetic...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Psychiatry
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Psychiatric disorders often present with complex symptoms, making diagnosis challenging.
  • Neuroimaging is increasingly explored to identify potential organic causes for psychiatric conditions.

Observation:

  • Two cases are presented: a 19-year-old male with erratic behavior and paranoia, and a 21-year-old female with irritability, racing thoughts, and suicidal ideation.
  • Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed distinct abnormalities in both patients.

Findings:

  • The male patient exhibited a high FLAIR signal in the left globus pallidus.
  • The female patient showed heterotopic grey matter nodules and subcortical heterotopia with cortical thickening.

Implications:

  • These findings suggest that neuroimaging can identify structural brain changes associated with atypical psychiatric presentations.
  • Developing guidelines for neuroimaging in psychiatric practice is crucial for optimizing patient care and diagnostic accuracy.
