Summary
Medical students
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Communication Skills Training
- Psychology in Medicine
Background:
- Self-efficacy is vital for developing medical students' communication abilities.
- Understanding the impact of simulated patient interviews and feedback on self-efficacy is key.
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine the specific point at which medical students exhibit the highest self-efficacy after a simulated patient interview and feedback.
- To identify the most effective component in enhancing medical students' self-efficacy in interview skills.
Main Methods:
- 162 fourth and fifth-year medical students in Japan participated.
- Self-efficacy in medical interviewing was assessed before the interview, after the interview, and post-feedback.
- Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare self-efficacy levels across the three time points.
Main Results:
- Medical students' self-efficacy for interviews significantly increased after both the simulated interview and the feedback session compared to baseline.
- The highest level of self-efficacy was consistently observed immediately following the feedback session.
Conclusions:
- Providing feedback after simulated patient interviews is a critical intervention for boosting medical students' self-efficacy in their interviewing skills.
- This finding underscores the importance of structured feedback in medical training to enhance student confidence and competence.

01:24Sources of Self-Esteem II: Performance Feedback

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 psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Self-verification is a fundamental psychological drive wherein individuals seek affirmation of their self-concept from others, striving for consistency between their internal self-view and external perceptions. This drive operates even when the self-concept is negative, influencing interpersonal behavior and feedback preferences in complex and often counterintuitive ways. Unlike the self-enhancement motive, which seeks positive evaluations, self-verification prioritizes coherence and...

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...

Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.
