Understanding the Self01:28

Understanding the Self

99
The self is a central aspect of human identity, encompassing an individual’s beliefs, emotions, perceptions, and experiences. It is a cognitive and psychological construct that enables individuals to interpret their traits and behaviors, influencing how they perceive themselves and interact with the world. While personality consists of stable and enduring characteristics, the self is shaped by self-perception and social experiences. This distinction highlights the dynamic nature of the...

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

42.3K
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...

Understanding Self-Concept01:20

Understanding Self-Concept

80
The self-concept encompasses individuals' beliefs about themselves, structured through cognitive frameworks known as self-schemas. These schemas function as mental representations of specific traits or behaviors, influencing how self-relevant information is perceived, processed, and remembered. For example, individuals who are schematic for body weight are more likely to interpret routine experiences—such as dining out or shopping—through the lens of that trait. Conversely, those...

Humanistic Therapy01:24

Humanistic Therapy

188
Humanistic therapies emphasize personal growth, self-understanding, and the fulfillment of human potential. Rooted in the belief that individuals inherently strive toward self-actualization, these approaches encourage clients to explore their feelings and experiences in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment. Humanistic therapies differ from psychodynamic approaches by focusing on conscious experiences, present circumstances, and the potential for self-improvement rather than past conflicts...

Carl Rogers' Humanistic Perspective on Personality

1.7K
Carl Rogers, a key figure in humanistic psychology, believed that individuals possess an innate potential for growth and fulfillment. According to his model of personality, three significant components define an individual: the organism, the self, and conditions of worth.
The organism refers to an individual's inherent blueprint, which Rogers saw as innately positive and directed toward helping others, unlike Freud's view of the id as driven by base impulses. The self is a person's...

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

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

53.9K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Mental Health Services Research

Background:

  • Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a significant clinical concern due to its strong association with psychiatric disorders and suicidal ideation/behavior.
  • Individuals engaging in NSSI often face challenges in disclosing their experiences, and service providers find addressing NSSI difficult.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a person-centered framework for discussing NSSI.
  • To enhance communication, rapport, and engagement between service providers and individuals who self-injure.

Main Methods:

  • This study proposes a conceptual framework focused on the individual's unique experiences and needs.
  • The framework is designed for implementation in interactions with individuals who self-injure.

Main Results:

  • Implementing a person-centered framework can foster stronger rapport and engagement.
  • This approach is expected to improve the provision of services for NSSI.

Conclusions:

  • A person-centered framework offers a valuable approach to discussing NSSI.
  • This framework can lead to improved service delivery, increased provider confidence, and greater job satisfaction.
