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...

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).

Regression Toward the Mean

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...

Self-Schemas

35.4K
In general, a schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Sports Medicine
  • Mycology

Background:

  • Onychomycosis, a fungal nail infection, is prevalent and challenging to treat.
  • Athletes have a significantly higher risk (2.5x) of developing onychomycosis, particularly affecting toenails.
  • Factors contributing to infection include occlusive footwear, moisture, and trauma, impacting athletic performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of onychomycosis prevention strategies tailored for athletes.
  • To highlight innovative athletic gear and hygiene practices that reduce infection risk.
  • To offer a practical guide for preventing fungal infections in sports environments.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on onychomycosis risk factors and prevention.
  • Analysis of the impact of athletic footwear and apparel on fungal infections.
  • Compilation of hygiene and management recommendations for athletes, trainers, and coaches.

Main Results:

  • Preventive measures, including proper hygiene and nail care, are effective in reducing onychomycosis incidence.
  • Technological advancements in athletic gear, such as moisture-wicking materials and breathable shoes, mitigate infection risks.
  • Education on preventing fungal spread in communal sports facilities is critical.

Conclusions:

  • Proactive prevention is key to managing onychomycosis, potentially avoiding lengthy treatments and high recurrence rates.
  • Implementing recommended hygiene practices and utilizing improved athletic gear can significantly lower infection risk for athletes.
  • Accessible prevention guidelines are essential for athletes, coaches, and the general public to combat fungal nail infections.
