Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication01:30

Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication

137
Since the early 2000s, computer-mediated communication (CMC) has grown rapidly, playing a crucial role in self-development. A key distinction between CMC and real-life interactions is the lack of a physically present partner. This absence makes non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, body language, and paralinguistic signals unavailable in CMC platforms like email, instant messaging, or social media. The lack of these cues can create ambiguity and complicate how feedback is interpreted.The...

Self Within Cultural Contexts

136
Cultural frameworks for understanding the self are often categorized into two broad orientations: individualism and collectivism. These paradigms influence how people define themselves, relate to others, and interpret their social worlds. Each orientation offers distinct perspectives on autonomy, responsibility, and the role of the individual within a community.Individualistic CulturesIn individualistic cultures like North America and Western Europe, identity is understood as autonomous and...

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

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...

Naturalistic Observations

If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

Impact of Social Context on Individuals

231
Social psychology examines how the real or imagined presence of others influences individuals' thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. A key concept in this field is the role of social context in shaping behavior. The same individual may act differently depending on the social setting, due to the varying expectations and norms associated with each environment. This context-dependent behavior illustrates the influence of social roles, which prescribe appropriate conduct in specific situations.Social...

Social Foundations of Self I: Play and Game

145
The development of self in children is deeply rooted in social interactions, mainly through stages of play and structured games. These stages, outlined by sociologist George Herbert Mead, illustrate how children progressively learn to understand and adopt social roles, forming a cohesive sense of self.The Play Stage: Imitation and Simple Role-TakingIn the early years of childhood, the play stage is characterized by imitative behavior, where children engage in role-playing based on familiar...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education Research
  • Qualitative Research Methods
  • Workplace Learning

Background:

  • Effective workplace learning in health professions is crucial.
  • Traditional knowledge translation often relies on faculty development, like supervisor workshops.
  • Research approaches that empower clinicians to refine practice are less common but hold greater potential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe video-reflexive ethnography (VRE) as a collaborative visual research approach.
  • To explain the potential of VRE for understanding and optimizing in situ work and education practices in healthcare.
  • To discuss the key principles and application of VRE in health professions education.

Main Methods:

  • Video-reflexive ethnography (VRE) involves three phases: initial observation, video recording of practice, and reflexive sessions with participants and researchers.
  • The methodology emphasizes collaboration, reflexivity, and care.
  • Drawing on researchers' experiences, the article details the VRE process.

Main Results:

  • VRE enables observation of social and relational interactions in healthcare practice.
  • It allows for articulation and analysis of individual and group perspectives.
  • The approach can foster new insights for researchers and clinicians regarding healthcare education and practice.

Conclusions:

  • Video-reflexive ethnography has the potential to change clinical education practices, though this is yet to be fully realized.
  • Shared deliberations about practice reimagining and enactment can prompt fresh perspectives.
  • VRE can illuminate and optimize in situ work and education practices, leading to improved health professional development.
