The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison02:57

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

55.4K
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 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),...

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...

Social Exchange Theory02:06

Social Exchange Theory

39.5K
We have discussed why we form relationships, what attracts us to others, and different types of love. But what determines whether we are satisfied with and stay in a relationship? One theory that provides an explanation is social exchange theory. According to social exchange theory, we act as naïve economists in keeping a tally of the ratio of costs and benefits of forming and maintaining a relationship with others (Rusbult & Van Lange, 2003).

Thoracic Aorta01:15

Thoracic Aorta

1.5K
The thoracic section of the aorta begins at the T5 vertebra and extends to the T12 level at the diaphragm, initially progressing through the mediastinum to the left of the spinal column. Throughout its course in the thoracic segment, the thoracic aorta emits various offshoots known collectively as visceral and parietal branches. The branches that predominantly supply blood to visceral organs are termed visceral branches and include bronchial, pericardial, esophageal, and mediastinal arteries,...

Area of Science:

  • Social media analytics in academic publishing
  • Thoracic surgery and cardiothoracic community engagement

Background:

  • The Thoracic Surgery Social Media Network (TSSMN) was established in 2015 by The Annals of Thoracic Surgery and The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery.
  • TSSMN aims to enhance social media visibility for key publications and specialty achievements.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the preliminary experience and lessons learned from the Thoracic Surgery Social Media Network (TSSMN).
  • To evaluate the impact of social media engagement on thoracic surgery journals.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Twitter analytics for the @TSSMN handle and #TSSMN hashtag.
  • Measured TweetChat and general hashtag analytics using Symplur.
  • Analyzed the usage and downloads of a dedicated TSSMN Tweeter App.

Main Results:

  • The #TSSMN hashtag generated 17,181 tweets from 2,100 users, reaching 32,226,280 impressions.
  • Thirteen TweetChats involved 489 participants, yielding 5,195 tweets and 17,297,708 impressions.
  • The TSSMN Tweeter App saw 3,319 downloads, facilitating 859 article views across both journals.

Conclusions:

  • TSSMN successfully enhances journal connection with readership and the broader cardiothoracic community.
  • Further studies are planned to correlate social media metrics with article reads, citations, and journal impact factor.
