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

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

55.1K
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.

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...

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.

Social Facilitation01:04

Social Facilitation

35.7K
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.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Adolescent Development
  • Family Studies

Background:

  • Transgender development in adolescents significantly impacts family dynamics, particularly sibling relationships.
  • Existing research often overlooks the sibling perspective in transgender youth studies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the experiences and perceptions of both transgender adolescents and their siblings regarding their relationship.
  • To understand how sibling relationships are affected by a transgender adolescent's development and transition.

Main Methods:

  • Grounded theory analysis of guided interviews with ten transgender adolescents and twelve of their siblings.
  • Comparative analysis of perspectives from both transgender youth and their siblings.

Main Results:

  • Most participants reported satisfaction with their sibling relationship.
  • Initial sibling reactions to coming out varied (positive/negative) but evolved into respect and acceptance.
  • Transgender youth generally felt supported by their siblings, with relationships often improving in closeness and cohesion during transition.
  • Siblings are significantly impacted by adolescent transgenderism and should be involved in clinical practice.

Conclusions:

  • Sibling relationships can be a valuable resource during a transgender adolescent's transition.
  • Early inclusion of siblings in clinical settings can mitigate negative developments and foster positive outcomes.
  • Understanding and supporting siblings is crucial for the well-being of transgender youth and overall family cohesion.
