Self-Schemas

32.0K
In general, a schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently.

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

40.0K
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:

  • Psychiatry
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Adolescent Health

Background:

  • High prevalence of self-harm among adolescents with eating disorders.
  • Limited understanding of the interplay between eating disorders and self-harm in young individuals.
  • Need for research exploring the genesis and functions of co-occurring self-harm and eating disorders.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the frequency, intensity, duration, function, context, and processes of self-harm in adolescents aged 16-25 with eating disorders.
  • To explore participants' perspectives on the origins and functions of both self-harm and eating disorders.
  • To identify the support needs of young people with co-occurring eating disorders and self-harm.

Main Methods:

  • Sequential mixed-methods explanatory design.
  • Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) over 14 days to capture real-time experiences of self-harm.
  • In-depth qualitative interviews to explore underlying psychological, emotional, and social factors.

Main Results:

  • Data collection via EMA and qualitative interviews is ongoing.
  • Analysis will integrate quantitative EMA data (descriptive and multilevel statistics) with qualitative thematic analysis.
  • Findings will be synthesized using a mixed-methods matrix for comprehensive understanding.

Conclusions:

  • This study will provide crucial insights into the complex relationship between eating disorders and self-harm in young people.
  • Results are expected to inform the development of targeted interventions and support strategies.
  • Dissemination will target clinical, academic, and lived-experience audiences to maximize impact.
