Introspection01:29

Introspection

105
Introspection, long upheld as a reliable route to self-knowledge, involves examining one's thoughts, emotions, and mental processes. It underpins many psychological practices, from mindfulness meditation to psychotherapy and self-help strategies. However, empirical evidence challenges the accuracy of introspection as a means of understanding oneself.Limitations of Introspective InsightSeminal work by Nisbett and Wilson demonstrated that individuals are frequently unaware of the true causes...

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

54.7K
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...

Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Self-Schemas

In general, a schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Self-Serving Bias01:29

Self-Serving Bias

88
Self-serving bias is a cognitive phenomenon in which individuals attribute positive outcomes to internal factors such as their abilities, intelligence, or effort while attributing negative outcomes to external circumstances. This cognitive distortion helps maintain self-esteem but can also impede objective self-assessment.Theoretical Explanations of Self-Serving BiasTwo primary theories explain the self-serving bias: the cognitive explanation and the motivational explanation.The cognitive...

Self-Awareness and Its Effects01:21

Self-Awareness and Its Effects

137
Self-awareness is a psychological state in which the individual becomes the focal point of their attention. This inward focus transforms the self into an object of contemplation and assessment, influencing how individuals perceive their actions and their alignment with personal and societal standards.Triggers and Contexts for Self-AwarenessSelf-awareness can be activated by external stimuli that make individuals visually or audibly aware of themselves, such as mirrors, cameras, or recordings.

Area of Science:

  • Qualitative Research Methods
  • Nursing Research
  • Autoethnography

Background:

  • Reflexivity is crucial for rigor in qualitative research.
  • Few guidelines exist for robust reflexivity, risking overlooked researcher biases.
  • Nurse practitioners entering PhD programs face unique challenges integrating clinical experience with research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore combining autoethnography (AE) with visual methods for deeper reflexivity.
  • To identify strategies for making hidden researcher perspectives visible.
  • To address the impact of clinical experience on PhD research.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized autoethnography (AE) integrated with visual methods.
  • Employed reflexive activities: autobiographical free writing, clinical vignette drawings, and qualitative interviews.
  • Analyzed data to uncover perspectives influencing knowledge production.

Main Results:

  • The combined strategy facilitated richer reflexivity.
  • Two key researcher values were identified: fostering advocacy and favoring independence/autonomy.
  • This approach made deeply buried aspects impacting research visible.

Conclusions:

  • Combining autoethnography and visual methods offers a powerful strategy for enhancing reflexivity in qualitative research.
  • This approach can uncover core values that shape research perspectives and knowledge production.
  • The findings provide practical insights for researchers seeking to deepen their reflexive practice.
