Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

39.9K
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...

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture

Adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds face a multifaceted journey in forming their identities, shaped by the intersections of cultural expectations and personal exploration. For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture. As they grow, adolescents in ethnic minority groups often become increasingly aware of stereotypes, social biases, and discrimination, all of which...

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.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Public Health
  • Sociology

Background:

  • College students, including Hispanic individuals, face risks of hazardous drinking.
  • Research indicates significant differences in alcohol use outcomes between Hispanic and White populations.
  • Drinking refusal self-efficacy is a potential factor in reducing hazardous drinking, yet its role in Hispanic-White differences is understudied.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine Hispanic-White differences in hazardous drinking and drinking refusal self-efficacy.
  • To determine if drinking refusal self-efficacy mediates group differences in hazardous drinking and alcohol-related problems.

Main Methods:

  • A study involving 389 college students (Hispanic and White) at two predominantly White institutions.
  • Participants completed validated measures of drinking refusal self-efficacy, hazardous drinking, and negative drinking consequences.

Main Results:

  • Hispanic students reported lower levels of hazardous drinking, alcohol-related problems, and drinking refusal self-efficacy compared to White students.
  • Drinking refusal self-efficacy partially accounted for the disparities in hazardous drinking and alcohol-related problems between Hispanic and White students.
  • The association between drinking refusal self-efficacy and alcohol use outcomes was significant only for White students, not Hispanic students.

Conclusions:

  • Drinking refusal self-efficacy may play a differential role in hazardous drinking for Hispanic and White college students.
  • Future research should explore the interplay of self-efficacy, cultural factors, and situational contexts in understanding drinking behaviors among diverse student populations.
