Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping02:05

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...

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-Concept01:19

Self-Concept

126
Self-concept is the cognitive and emotional understanding individuals hold about their identity. It evolves through various developmental stages, beginning in infancy and maturing as children grow. This concept influences how individuals perceive their abilities, interact with others, and manage challenges throughout life.
Infancy and Emerging Recognition
During infancy, self-concept is virtually nonexistent. Babies do not distinguish themselves as separate entities and often mistake their...

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

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...

Community Based Intervention

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.
Foundations of Community Mental Health Programs
Central to the success of community-based interventions is the...

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

50.9K
According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Public Health
  • Adolescent Development

Background:

  • Prevention programs often fail to translate life skills acquisition into real-world application.
  • The
  • Intervention Program based on Self
  • (IPSELF) was developed to enhance self-concept and skill application.
  • The European
  • Unplugged
  • program aims to equip adolescents with life skills.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of the IPSELF add-on session.
  • To compare the impact of
  • Unplugged
  • versus
  • Unplugged
  • /IPSELF on adolescent attitudes and behaviors towards substance use.
  • To investigate gender-specific effects of the intervention.

Main Methods:

  • A study involving 157 middle school students in France.
  • Participants were assigned to either the
  • Unplugged
  • program or the
  • Unplugged
  • /IPSELF combined program.
  • Effectiveness was measured using the Self-Concept Clarity Scale and the Prototype Willingness Model.

Main Results:

  • Adolescents in the IPSELF group showed more favorable attitudes towards non-smokers and non-cannabis users, and less favorable attitudes towards drinkers.
  • IPSELF participants reported feeling more distinct from typical smokers and drinkers.
  • The IPSELF program demonstrated a greater positive impact on smoking behavior change and substance knowledge for girls compared to the Unplugged program alone.

Conclusions:

  • The IPSELF intervention effectively enhances self-concept and knowledge related to substance use.
  • IPSELF shows particular benefits for girls, improving their perceived control over alcohol and cannabis use.
  • The findings suggest IPSELF is a valuable addition to adolescent prevention programs, especially for female audiences.
