Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping02:05

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

42.2K
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...

Hypothesis Test for Test of Independence

5.6K
The test of independence is a chi-square-based test used to determine whether two variables or factors are independent or dependent. This hypothesis test is used to examine the independence of the variables. One can construct two qualitative survey questions or experiments based on the variables in a contingency table. The goal is to see if the two variables are unrelated (independent) or related (dependent). The null and alternative hypotheses for this test are:
H0: The two variables (factors)...

Stress and Mental Health01:30

Stress and Mental Health

310
Chronic stress profoundly affects mental health, significantly influencing mood, behavior, and overall quality of life. Research closely links chronic stress with mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders. Ongoing exposure to stress can lead to physiological and psychological changes, initiating a cycle of emotional distress and maladaptive coping mechanisms.
Individuals with depression often experience challenges in both their personal and professional...

Psychological and Sociocultural Causes of Schizophrenia

261
Schizophrenia, a complex psychiatric disorder, has been historically misunderstood. Early psychological theories attributed its origins to childhood trauma and unresponsive parenting. However, contemporary research largely rejects these notions, favoring the vulnerability-stress hypothesis. This model proposes that individuals with a genetic predisposition to schizophrenia may develop the disorder following exposure to significant environmental stressors. Notably, studies on high-risk...

Self-Discrepancy and Its Effects

116
Self-discrepancy theory explains how people compare their actual self to their ideal and ought selves and how mismatches between these self-guides can lead to emotional distress. Developed by E. Tory Higgins, the theory distinguishes among three components of self-concept: the actual self, the ideal self, and the ought self. These refer respectively to how individuals perceive themselves, how they aspire to be, and how they believe they are obligated to be. Emotional well-being, self-esteem,...

Hazan and Shaver's Attachment Styles

118
Attachment theory, developed initially to explain infant–caregiver bonds, has been extended to illuminate patterns of intimacy in adult romantic relationships. Psychologists Cindy Hazan and Phillip Shaver proposed that the attachment styles observed in infancy form a framework for how individuals approach emotional closeness and conflict in adulthood. These attachment styles—secure, avoidant, and anxious—are linked to enduring patterns of behavior and emotional regulation in...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Affective lability, or rapid mood changes, predicts problem drinking risk independently of depression and anxiety. This suggests a reciprocal relationship where mood instability and problem drinking reinforce each other over time.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Addiction Research

Background:

  • Negative affect is linked to problem drinking, with evidence suggesting a bidirectional relationship.
  • Affective lability, characterized by rapid mood shifts, is a less-studied aspect of negative affect.
  • The unique contribution of affective lability to problem drinking risk, beyond depression and anxiety, remains unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine if affective lability predicts problem drinking independently of depression and anxiety.
  • To investigate the reciprocal relationship between affective lability and problem drinking over time.

Main Methods:

  • A longitudinal survey design with three waves of data collection.
  • A sample of 358 first-year college students.
  • Structural equation modeling using a random intercept cross-lagged panel model.

Main Results:

  • Affective lability significantly predicted increases in problem drinking.
  • Depression and anxiety did not predict problem drinking in this model.
  • A reciprocal relationship was found: increases in affective lability predicted increases in problem drinking, and vice versa.

Conclusions:

  • Affective lability is a significant predictor of problem drinking, even when controlling for depression and anxiety.
  • A bidirectional, risk-enhancing relationship exists between affective lability and problem drinking.
  • Future interventions may benefit from targeting affective lability in individuals at risk for problem drinking.
