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

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

55.3K
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...

Halo Effect01:27

Halo Effect

328
The halo effect is a cognitive bias in which an individual's overall impression influences judgments about their specific traits. This psychological phenomenon leads people to associate positive characteristics with those they perceive as generally good and negative characteristics with those they view as bad. This effect is particularly influential in social perception, professional evaluations, and decision-making processes.The Psychological Basis of the Halo EffectThe halo effect is rooted...

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

5.7K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Modeling in Therapy01:26

Modeling in Therapy

342
Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.

Sources of Self-Esteem II: Performance Feedback

158
Self-esteem is intricately tied to our perception of competence and our ability to exert control over our lives. One of the primary sources of this perception is performance feedback — the ongoing evaluation of our actions in terms of success and failure. According to Franks and Marolla (1976), people derive self-worth from experiencing themselves as causal agents, capable of achieving goals and overcoming obstacles. This process nurtures a critical component of self-esteem:...

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model01:29

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model

228
The Self-Evaluation Maintenance (SEM) model offers a psychological framework to understand how individuals’ self-esteem is influenced by the achievements of others, particularly those with whom they share close personal bonds. The SEM model operates when personal rather than social identity guides individuals. Central to this model is the notion that individuals have an inherent desire to preserve a favorable self-image, which is continuously shaped by interpersonal comparisons and...

Area of Science:

  • Organizational Psychology
  • Work Design
  • Proactive Behavior

Background:

  • Traditional work design emphasizes top-down interventions.
  • Proactive work behavior research highlights bottom-up employee-driven changes.
  • Micro-emancipatory actions can lead to more rewarding work experiences.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To test a tripartite model of task self-redesign.
  • To examine the impact of task autonomy, job crafting, and idiosyncratic deals (i-deals) on positive work states.
  • To investigate the interactive effects of these three modes of task influence on meaning, affective commitment, and work-home enrichment.

Main Methods:

  • Survey data collected from 279 German-speaking employees.
  • Confirmatory factor analysis and moderated linear regression used for analysis.
  • Examined the interplay of task autonomy, job crafting, and i-deals.

Main Results:

  • Task i-deals consistently predicted positive experiences.
  • Task autonomy showed a relationship with one outcome, while job crafting had no significant main effect.
  • Significant synergistic three-way interactions between autonomy, crafting, and i-deals explained additional variance in all outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Task autonomy, job crafting, and i-deals play complementary roles in self-directed positive work experiences.
  • The study provides preliminary insights into the interplay of designed, crafted, and negotiated work activities.
  • Highlights the importance of bottom-up, employee-driven processes in work design.
