Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model01:29

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model

115
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-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...

Exercise Stress Test01:26

Exercise Stress Test

651
Introduction
Exercise stress testing, commonly known as a treadmill test, is a noninvasive procedure used to evaluate cardiovascular function and diagnose heart conditions.
Definition
An exercise stress test measures the heart's response to exertion using a treadmill or stationary bicycle. Chest electrodes record the heart's electrical activity through an ECG, and blood pressure is monitored regularly.

Sources of Self-Esteem II: Performance Feedback

71
Self-esteem is intricately tied to our perception of competence and our ability to exert control over our lives. One of the primary sources of this perception is performance feedback — the ongoing evaluation of our actions in terms of success and failure. According to Franks and Marolla (1976), people derive self-worth from experiencing themselves as causal agents, capable of achieving goals and overcoming obstacles. This process nurtures a critical component of self-esteem:...

Coping Strategies: Emotion Focused01:20

Coping Strategies: Emotion Focused

219
Emotion-focused coping refers to a set of strategies aimed at managing the emotional impact of stressors, rather than directly addressing their causes. This approach involves altering one's emotional response to stressful situations to reduce their psychological effects. For example, individuals might talk with a friend or engage in activities like journaling to express their feelings. Such actions can help achieve emotional clarity or release, providing the psychological stability needed...

Area of Science:

  • Workplace wellness
  • Behavioral science
  • Health promotion

Background:

  • Desire2Move (D2M) is an 8-week workplace program promoting physical activity (PA) through competition and self-monitoring.
  • Workplace PA programs are crucial for employee health and productivity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of integrating a self-compassion (SC) intervention into an existing workplace PA program.
  • To assess the impact of SC on PA levels and self-reported well-being.

Main Methods:

  • A pilot study involving 20 university employees, divided into SC treatment and attention control groups.
  • Participants logged PA using MapMyRun; the treatment group received a 7-week SC podcast intervention.
  • Pre- and post-intervention assessments included self-reported PA, SC, and demographics, analyzed using ANOVAs.

Main Results:

  • No statistically significant differences were found in SC or PA levels between the SC intervention group and the control group.
  • While participants generally met recommended PA levels, the SC intervention did not yield measurable improvements in this pilot.
  • The study found no significant group x time interaction for SC or main effects for group or time.

Conclusions:

  • This pilot study offers valuable insights for refining future online SC training modules within workplace PA interventions.
  • Further research with larger sample sizes and modified interventions is warranted to explore the potential benefits of SC in workplace health programs.
