Social Scripts02:10

Social Scripts

10.2K
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),...

Errors and Mistakes in Surveying01:19

Errors and Mistakes in Surveying

642
Errors and mistakes in surveying refer to inaccuracies in measurements and data recording. The errors are deviations from the actual value caused by human sensory limitations, equipment flaws, or environmental effects. These errors are typically unintentional and can result from the inherent imperfections in the instruments used, atmospheric conditions, or the observer’s inability to perceive exact measurements. On the other hand, mistakes are caused by the surveyor's lack of...

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

55.5K
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 Traps01:41

Social Traps

26.3K
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...

Common Leveling Mistakes and Errors

419
A survey team is tasked with determining the elevation difference between points Point A and Point B, separated by uneven terrain. They use a leveling instrument and a leveling rod.Common MistakesMisreading the Rod: During a backsight reading at Point A, the instrumentman observes the rod partially obscured by tall grass. Instead of reading 1.135 m, they mistakenly record 1.735 m due to the misalignment of the crosshair with the wrong graduation. This error adds 0.600 m to all subsequent...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Digital Health
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Emergency medicine clinicians utilize social media (SM) for continuous learning.
  • Rapid information dissemination on SM can lead to quick propagation of errors.
  • A UK-based emergency medicine educational resource inadvertently shared incorrect learning materials.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the perpetuation and correction of errors in educational content shared via social media.
  • To discuss strategies for identifying and rectifying mistakes in online medical learning resources.

Main Methods:

  • Two incorrect educational posts (ECG and infographic) were published on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Reddit in October 2018.
  • Post analytics were reviewed across all social media platforms to track error identification and spread.

Main Results:

  • An incorrect ECG was identified on Facebook within 40 hours; an incorrect infographic was identified on Reddit within 3 hours.
  • Despite corrections, both erroneous posts continued to be shared on Twitter and Facebook.
  • The posts reached over 15,000 individuals.

Conclusions:

  • Reporting and updating errors in educational content on social media is infrequently documented.
  • Disclosure and post-correction updates are proposed as the optimal method for amending errors.
  • A call for debate on strategies to identify, correct, and improve medical educational resources shared via social media.
