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

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

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 the way you...
Actuarial Approach01:20

Actuarial Approach

The actuarial approach, a statistical method originally developed for life insurance risk assessment, is widely used to calculate survival rates in clinical and population studies. This method accounts for participants lost to follow-up or those who die from causes unrelated to the study, ensuring a more accurate representation of survival probabilities.
Consider the example of a high-risk surgical procedure with significant early-stage mortality. A two-year clinical study is conducted,...

Anorexia Nervosa

Anorexia nervosa is a complex and severe eating disorder characterized by an intense fear of weight gain, an unrelenting pursuit of thinness, and a distorted body image. It often leads to dangerously low body weight relative to an individual's age and height. This disorder is marked by significant physical and psychological consequences, making it one of the most life-threatening psychiatric illnesses.

Self-Discrepancy and Its Effects01:29

Self-Discrepancy and Its Effects

Self-discrepancy theory explains how people compare their actual self to their ideal and ought selves and how mismatches between these self-guides can lead to emotional distress. Developed by E. Tory Higgins, the theory distinguishes among three components of self-concept: the actual self, the ideal self, and the ought self. These refer respectively to how individuals perceive themselves, how they aspire to be, and how they believe they are obligated to be. Emotional well-being, self-esteem,...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Demography

Background:

  • Self-harm-related deaths present a significant public health challenge with diverse socio-economic and cultural determinants.
  • Understanding mortality trends is crucial for developing effective public health interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the trends in self-harm mortality by sex and age in Iran.
  • To examine national and provincial-level mortality patterns over a 26-year period.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized data from the Iran Death Registration System (DRS), Tehran and Esfahan cemetery databanks, and national censuses.
  • Employed growth models for age-group population estimation and spatio-temporal Gaussian process regression for mortality rate estimation.
  • Addressed data quality issues including incompleteness, misalignment, and misclassification within the DRS.

Main Results:

  • An estimated 67,670 self-harm deaths occurred nationwide during the study period.
  • The overall age-standardized mortality rate declined by approximately 35.65%, from 4.32 to 2.78 per 100,000 population.
  • Mortality rates were higher in men (M/F ratio 2.03:1) and individuals aged 15-24 years, with significant provincial variations.

Conclusions:

  • Self-harm mortality in Iran has shown a downward trend but requires continued monitoring and intervention.
  • Distinctive patterns include higher rates among men and young adults, necessitating tailored prevention efforts.
  • Enhancing national monitoring systems and implementing accessible, cost-effective preventive interventions are critical for Iran.
