Bullying

8.6K
A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...

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...

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model01:29

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model

119
The Self-Evaluation Maintenance (SEM) model offers a psychological framework to understand how individuals’ self-esteem is influenced by the achievements of others, particularly those with whom they share close personal bonds. The SEM model operates when personal rather than social identity guides individuals. Central to this model is the notion that individuals have an inherent desire to preserve a favorable self-image, which is continuously shaped by interpersonal comparisons and...

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

5.5K
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...

Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication

68
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...

Social Foundations of Self III: Self-Evaluation

66
Self-evaluation is the process by which individuals assess their abilities, behaviors, and characteristics based on feedback from others. Charles H. Cooley observed that a person’s self-perception is primarily influenced by how others see and judge them. He suggested that individuals form their identities based on their interpretations of others' reactions. As a result, social interactions play a crucial role in shaping self-esteem and personal identity. These external evaluations often...

Summary

Core self-evaluations (CSE) can buffer the link between cyber victimization and problematic technology use. High CSE reduces negative impacts, while low CSE exacerbates them, particularly for smartphone and social media use.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Cyberpsychology
  • Adolescent Behavior

Background:

  • Cyber victimization is linked to increased problematic technology use.
  • Individual dispositions as buffers against cyber victimization effects are under-researched.
  • Core self-evaluations (CSE) are a potential protective factor.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine if core self-evaluations (CSE) moderate the relationship between cyber victimization and problematic technology use.
  • To investigate the influence of CSE on problematic Internet, smartphone, and social media use.
  • To explore the role of individual dispositions in mitigating cyber victimization consequences.

Main Methods:

  • A sample of 1211 high school students (ages 12-18) completed self-report measures.
  • Assessed cyber victimization, core self-evaluations (CSE), and problematic technology use (Internet, smartphone, social media).
  • Correlational analyses and moderation analyses were conducted.

Main Results:

  • Cyber victimization was significantly associated with all forms of problematic technology use.
  • High CSE weakened the cyber victimization-problematic technology use link for Internet and social media.
  • Low CSE strengthened the cyber victimization link to smartphone and social media use.

Conclusions:

  • Core self-evaluations (CSE) play a moderating role in the association between cyber victimization and problematic technology use.
  • Interventions targeting CSE may help mitigate negative impacts of cyber victimization on adolescents' technology behavior.
  • Findings support social compensation theory in the context of cyber victimization and technology overuse.
