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

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

43.4K
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-Discrepancy Theory

One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

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...

Drug Dosing: Obese Patients

172
In the United States, obesity is a prominent concern. It is linked to heightened mortality rates due to increased occurrences of conditions such as hypertension, atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, and diabetes compared to nonobese individuals. A patient is classified as obese if their actual body weight surpasses the ideal or desirable body weight by 20%, based on Metropolitan Life Insurance Company data. Ideal body weights consider average weights and heights for males and females...

Self-Schemas02:16

Self-Schemas

35.3K
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.

Self-Regulation01:25

Self-Regulation

178
Self-regulation, also known as self-control, encompasses a range of cognitive and behavioral processes that allow individuals to adjust their internal states and outward actions to align with socially acceptable norms and long-term goals. It plays a fundamental role in adaptive functioning, from resisting impulsive behaviors to persisting through challenging tasks. While its benefits are widely recognized, self-regulation is not limitless. Muraven and Baumeister's theory posits that...

Summary

Obese patients often have low self-appraised problem-solving skills, impacting weight loss and adherence. Enhancing these skills may improve psychological and physical well-being in obesity management.

Area of Science:

  • Obesity Management
  • Psychology
  • Health Behavior

Background:

  • Improved problem-solving skills are linked to better weight loss and treatment adherence in obesity patients.
  • Understanding problem-solving self-appraisal is crucial for effective obesity management strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the problem-solving self-appraisal of obese patients at the center.
  • To provide data for enriching obesity management and improving patient outcomes.
  • To facilitate weight loss and achieve long-term goals for obese individuals.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional and descriptive study design.
  • Inclusion of all registered patients who passed health screening.
  • Data collection using Socio-demographic information and Problem-Solving Inventory (PSI) forms.

  • Quantitative data analysis using t-tests, Mann-Whitney U, ANOVA, post-hoc tests, and correlation analysis.

    • Main Results:

    • The average PSI score for 87 obese patients was 122.33±20.25.
    • No significant correlation found between PSI scores and gender, marital status, financial state, smoking, or alcohol consumption.
    • Physical activity and education level showed a significant correlation with PSI scores.

    Conclusions:

    • Obese patients in this study exhibited low self-appraisals of their problem-solving abilities.
    • Interventions focusing on problem-solving skills could enhance the psychological and physical well-being of obesity patients.
    • Further research into problem-solving interventions is warranted for obesity management.
