Self-Regulation01:25

Self-Regulation

34
Self-regulation, also known as self-control, encompasses a range of cognitive and behavioral processes that allow individuals to adjust their internal states and outward actions to align with socially acceptable norms and long-term goals. It plays a fundamental role in adaptive functioning, from resisting impulsive behaviors to persisting through challenging tasks. While its benefits are widely recognized, self-regulation is not limitless. Muraven and Baumeister's theory posits that...

Self-Discrepancy Theory

One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

41.5K
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...

Sources of Self-Esteem II: Performance Feedback

22
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:...

Social Foundations of Self II: The Generalized Other

36
According to George Herbert Mead, as children progress beyond the game stage, they develop a more comprehensive understanding of societal rules and norms. This cognitive and social development enables them to internalize the expectations of the broader community, refining their ability to regulate behavior.Consistent participation in organized activities is crucial in helping children recognize that their actions are not isolated but contribute to a more significant, interconnected group...

Learning Disabilities01:25

Learning Disabilities

306
Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Area of Science:

  • Criminology
  • Sociology
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Self-control theory is a prominent explanation for criminal behavior.
  • Previous research has primarily focused on majority cultural groups.
  • The Deaf community represents a unique cultural group rarely examined in criminological studies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the cross-cultural applicability of self-control theory.
  • To test Gottfredson and Hirschi's cultural invariance thesis.
  • To examine the role of parental management in self-control among the Deaf.

Main Methods:

  • Survey data collected from 428 participants.
  • Comparison between Deaf and hearing student samples.
  • Statistical analysis to assess the predictive power of self-control.

Main Results:

  • Self-control significantly predicted rule-breaking behaviors in both Deaf and hearing groups.
  • Parental management techniques influenced self-control in hearing, but not Deaf, participants.
  • Self-control did not fully mediate the link between parenting and behavior for the Deaf sample.

Conclusions:

  • Findings support the cultural invariance of self-control theory.
  • The parental management thesis requires cultural adaptation for the Deaf community.
  • Further research is needed to understand unique factors influencing self-control in minority groups.
