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...

Social Anxiety Disorder01:28

Social Anxiety Disorder

337
Social anxiety disorder, also known as social phobia, is characterized by an intense fear of social situations where one might face humiliation, rejection, embarrassment, or negative evaluation. This disorder leads individuals to avoid activities like casual conversations, public speaking, or seemingly simple tasks such as eating, signing documents, or swimming, in public settings. Its impact extends beyond discomfort, often significantly interfering with daily functioning and quality of life.

Avoidance Learning and Learned Helplessness

2.4K
Avoidance learning and learned helplessness are critical concepts in understanding behavioral responses to negative stimuli.
Avoidance learning occurs when an organism learns that a specific behavior can prevent an unpleasant outcome. For example, a student who receives a bad grade may start studying harder to avoid future poor grades. This behavior persists even when the negative outcome is no longer present. Avoidance learning is powerful because it maintains behavior in the absence of the...

Bullying

A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...

Social Facilitation

Not all intergroup interactions lead to negative outcomes. Sometimes, being in a group situation can improve performance. Social facilitation occurs when an individual performs better when an audience is watching than when the individual performs the behavior alone. This typically occurs when people are performing a task for which they are skilled.

Social Foundations of Self II: The Generalized Other

According to George Herbert Mead, as children progress beyond the game stage, they develop a more comprehensive understanding of societal rules and norms. This cognitive and social development enables them to internalize the expectations of the broader community, refining their ability to regulate behavior.Consistent participation in organized activities is crucial in helping children recognize that their actions are not isolated but contribute to a more significant, interconnected group...

Problematic social networking site (SNS) use is linked to addictive behaviors. Contrary to expectations, this study found that individuals with higher problematic SNS use exhibited less risk-taking behavior, particularly after negative feedback.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Behavioral Addiction
  • Decision Making

Background:

  • Problematic social networking site (SNS) use shares similarities with substance use and behavioral addictive disorders.
  • Individuals with addictive disorders often exhibit increased risk-taking, but this has not been extensively studied in relation to problematic SNS use.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between problematic social networking site use and risky decision-making.
  • To test the hypothesis that greater problematic SNS use is associated with increased risk-taking.

Main Methods:

  • Three studies were conducted using the Balloon Analogue Risk Task (BART) to assess risky decision-making.
  • The Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale was administered to measure problematic SNS use.

Main Results:

  • A negative association was found between problematic SNS use and risk-taking, contradicting the initial hypothesis.
  • Higher problematic SNS use correlated with lower risk-taking, especially after experiencing negative feedback and in lower-risk situations.

Conclusions:

  • Problematic SNS use appears to be associated with risk aversion rather than risk-seeking behavior, particularly under specific conditions.
  • The findings suggest a complex relationship between addictive behaviors online and decision-making processes, warranting further investigation.
