Framing Effects03:26

Framing Effects

7.7K
Information is everywhere and its presentation—such as how and when items are presented—can impact our perceptions and decisions surrounding the info. This broad concept umbrellas framing effects—influences that occur due to the way information is framed in its appearance, whether it’s purely the order or the specific wording of a message. Let’s take a look at numerous ways in which two versions of something can objectively say the same thing, yet we respond in...

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

43.0K
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 Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication

92
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...

Impression Management Techniques IV: Altercasting01:14

Impression Management Techniques IV: Altercasting

101
Altercasting is a strategic communication technique in which an individual imposes a specific identity or social role onto another person to influence their behavior and shape the interaction. By presuming a role—such as “responsible leader” or “patient person”—altercasting encourages the target to conform to that identity, often aligning their behavior with the expectations associated with the role. The power of this tactic lies in its subtlety; once a role...

Group Polarization01:01

Group Polarization

37.9K
Group polarization is the strengthening of an original group attitude following the discussion of views within a group (Teger & Pruitt, 1967). That is, if a group initially favors a viewpoint, after discussion the group consensus is likely a stronger endorsement of the viewpoint. Conversely, if the group was initially opposed to a viewpoint, group discussion would likely lead to stronger opposition.

Protecting Self-Esteem

110
Self-esteem, a central component of psychological well-being, is actively maintained through various cognitive and behavioral strategies. Individuals employ specific mechanisms to preserve a positive self-concept and mitigate threats to their self-worth, particularly in contexts involving social evaluation or personal feedback. Four primary techniques are commonly used to sustain self-esteem.Manipulating AppraisalsOne prominent strategy involves manipulating appraisals from others. Individuals...

Area of Science:

  • Cyberpsychology
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Information Security

Background:

  • Online security behaviors are crucial for preventing cyberattacks.
  • Understanding the psychological factors influencing user security decisions is essential.
  • Warning messages are commonly used to promote secure online practices.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of gain versus loss-framed warning messages on users' online security behaviors.
  • To examine the relationship between trusting beliefs, cybersecurity knowledge, and online security behavior.

Main Methods:

  • An incentivized laboratory experiment was conducted.
  • Participants' online security behaviors were measured across five key actions: safe connection, minimal information disclosure, strong password selection, trusted vendor choice, and logging out.
  • The influence of gain-framed and loss-framed warning messages was assessed.

Main Results:

  • Loss-framed warning messages resulted in significantly more secure online behaviors compared to gain-framed messages.
  • Higher levels of cybersecurity knowledge positively correlated with secure behavior.
  • Greater trusting beliefs were associated with decreased security behavior.

Conclusions:

  • Loss-framed messages are more effective in promoting secure online behaviors.
  • Cybersecurity education and fostering critical evaluation of trust are vital for enhancing online safety.
