Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication01:30

Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication

8
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...

Community Based Intervention

102
Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.

Impression Management Techniques III: Aligning Actions

12
Aligning actions are communicative strategies individuals employ to maintain social harmony and preserve personal identity in the face of potential disruptions to social norms. These actions are particularly important in managing social impressions when one's behavior might be seen as inappropriate, incompetent, or morally questionable.Types of Aligning ActionsThe three principal types of aligning actions are disclaimers, accounts, and apologies.DisclaimersDisclaimers are preventive; they are...

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

5.9K
The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
Cost Containment
Payment for healthcare services has historically promoted adoption of costly and often unnecessary or inefficient...

Current Trends in Nursing II

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

40.9K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Neuroscience
  • Digital Health

Background:

  • Engagement is crucial for digital interventions but remains ill-defined.
  • Digital interactions involve complex decision-making, often neglected in engagement research.
  • Existing research overlooks neural mechanisms influencing engagement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define engagement by integrating theories and empirical evidence.
  • To propose the Affect-Integration-Motivation and Attention-Context-Translation (AIM-ACT) framework.
  • To offer strategies for enhancing engagement in digital interventions.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review integrating psychological and neuroscientific theories.
  • Development of the AIM-ACT framework based on neurophysiological principles.
  • Analysis of decision-making in digital contexts.

Main Results:

  • Engagement is a multifaceted construct requiring a neurophysiological understanding.
  • The AIM-ACT framework explains in-the-moment engagement with digital stimuli.
  • Identified opportunities and challenges in promoting digital intervention engagement.

Conclusions:

  • A unified definition and neurophysiological framework are needed for engagement.
  • The AIM-ACT framework provides novel insights into engagement mechanisms.
  • Recommendations are provided for designing effective digital interventions.
