Fundamental Attribution Error

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...

Self-Esteem

Self-Esteem

Self-esteem, a core aspect of psychological well-being, reflects an individual's positive and negative self-evaluation in terms of worth, competence, and overall value. It is both a stable trait and a dynamic process, influenced by experiences and social interactions across the lifespan. While global self-esteem offers a general assessment, research highlights that self-esteem is multidimensional and varies across specific life domains.Domain-Specific Self-EsteemResearchers have delineated...

Ryan and Deci's Self-Determination Theory

Ryan and Deci's Self-Determination Theory

Self-Determination Theory (SDT), formulated by Richard Ryan and Edward Deci, explains that human motivation is driven by three fundamental psychological needs: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. When these needs are met, individuals experience personal growth, intrinsic motivation, and overall well-being.
Autonomy is the need to feel in control of one's actions and decisions. For example, a student who chooses their research topic is likely to be more engaged and motivated than one who...

These elements interact to form behavioral patterns that affect personal choices and social interactions.The Role of Group DynamicsGroups play a crucial role in shaping behavior by reinforcing norms and expectations.

Attribution Theory

Attribution Theory

Behavior is a product of both the situation (e.g., cultural influences, social roles, and the presence of bystanders) and of the person (e.g., personality characteristics). Subfields of psychology tend to focus on one influence or behavior over others. Situationism is the view that our behavior and actions are determined by our immediate environment and surroundings. In contrast, dispositionism holds that our behavior is determined by internal factors (Heider, 1958).

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

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...

Organizational Psychology

Background:

Psychological ownership (PO) is a key concept for understanding professional vitality.
Athletic trainers' (ATs') PO over their profession and organizations is underexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate ATs' psychological ownership over their employing organizations and the athletic training profession.
To understand how PO relates to the vitality of the athletic training profession.

Main Methods:

Cross-sectional, web-based survey of clinically practicing ATs.
Utilized the Psychological Ownership Questionnaire (POQ) and POQ for athletic training (POQ-AT).
Analyzed demographic variables, overall scores, and dimension scores using descriptive and nonparametric statistics.

Main Results:

ATs reported significantly higher PO over the athletic training profession compared to their employing organizations.
Greater feelings of belongingness and self-identity were associated with the profession, while territoriality and accountability were higher for organizations.
Supervisory status and years of experience correlated with higher overall POQ and POQ-AT scores.

Conclusions:

ATs connect aspirations and accomplishments with their profession, but duty and responsibility with their organizations.
Findings suggest distinct drivers for PO in professional versus organizational contexts for ATs.
Organizational PO may be influenced by factors such as experience level and supervisory roles.
