Fundamental Attribution Error

According to some social psychologists, people tend to overemphasize internal factors as explanations—or attributions—for the behavior of other people. They tend to assume that the behavior of another person is a trait of that person, and to underestimate the power of the situation on the behavior of others. They tend to fail to recognize when the behavior of another is due to situational variables, and thus to the person’s state. This erroneous assumption is...

Introspection01:29

Introspection

63
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

53.6K
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...

Humanistic Therapy01:24

Humanistic Therapy

173
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...

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model01:29

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model

94
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...

Critical Thinking01:19

Critical Thinking

724
Critical thinking involves reflective and productive thinking and the evaluation of evidence. Critical thinkers seek to understand the deeper meaning of ideas, question assumptions, and make independent decisions about what to believe or do. Scientists, for instance, are often critical thinkers. Critical thinking also requires humility about what we know and don't know and the motivation to look beyond the obvious. It is essential for effective problem-solving.

Area of Science:

  • Qualitative research methodologies
  • Disaster recovery studies
  • Gerontology and accessibility research

Background:

  • Qualitative research with vulnerable populations, such as older adults with functional and access needs, requires careful consideration of context.
  • Post-disaster environments present unique challenges that can impact research design and execution.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically examine the experience of conducting qualitative research with functionally diverse older adults in a post-disaster context using reflexivity.
  • To explore the adaptation of research methodologies in response to participant needs and situational characteristics.

Main Methods:

  • Interpretative phenomenological analysis framework.
  • In-depth interviews with fifteen individuals with functional and access needs in Puerto Rico post-Hurricane María (2017).
  • Adaptations included flexibility, community involvement, building rapport with gatekeepers, and integrating family/friends.

Main Results:

  • Research design required significant adjustments to accommodate participant preferences, needs, and situational factors while maintaining ethical standards.
  • A more relational approach to inquiry was necessary, acknowledging intersubjectivity and adapting to community dynamics.
  • Flexibility and humility were essential for researchers to navigate the research process effectively.

Conclusions:

  • A reflexive approach enhanced understanding of researcher positionalities and their impact on trust-building (e.g., insider/outsider status).
  • Post-disaster qualitative research benefits from incorporating principles of indigenous decolonizing methodologies within interpretative phenomenological analysis frameworks.
  • Emphasizing relational inquiry and methodological flexibility is crucial for ethical and effective research in disaster-affected communities.
