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

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

39.5K
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...

Cognitive Dissonance

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...

Strategies for Assessing and Addressing Confounding

146
Confounding is a critical issue in epidemiological studies, often leading to misleading conclusions about associations between exposures and outcomes. It occurs when the relationship between the exposure and the outcome is mixed with the effects of other factors that influence the outcome. Given that, addressing confounding is of high importance for drawing accurate inferences in research.
Confounding can be addressed at both the design phase of a study and through analytical methods after data...

Uncertainty in Measurement: Reading Instruments

Counting is the type of measurement that is free from uncertainty, provided the number of objects being counted does not change during the process. Such measurements result in exact numbers. By counting the eggs in a carton, for instance, one can determine exactly how many eggs are there in the carton. Similarly, the numbers of defined quantities are also exact. For example, 1 foot is exactly 12 inches, 1 inch is exactly 2.54 centimeters, and 1 gram is exactly 0.001 kilograms. Quantities...

Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep

210
Substance use disorders involve a pattern of using drugs more extensively than intended and continuing use despite harmful consequences. This includes legal substances like alcohol and nicotine, as well as illegal drugs. These disorders often involve both physical and psychological dependence, reflecting compulsive use of substances that significantly alter thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, contributing to a major public health issue.
Understanding the concepts of physical dependence,...

Physiological Barriers01:25

Physiological Barriers

3.7K
Physiological barriers are semi-permeable cellular structures restricting drug diffusion into intracellular compartments and tissues. There are six types of physiological barriers: blood endothelial, cell membrane, blood-brain, blood-cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), blood-placenta, and blood-testis barriers.
The blood endothelial barrier is the most porous of these. It allows all small ionized, un-ionized, and lipophilic molecules to pass through the endothelial lining into the interstitial space...

Summary

Drink counting is an effective strategy to reduce alcohol consumption, but awareness of its benefits and feasibility needs improvement. Barriers include lack of knowledge on alcohol harms and social pressures, requiring targeted education campaigns.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Behavioral Science
  • Addiction Research

Background:

  • Protective Behavioral Strategies (PBS) are crucial for reducing alcohol consumption.
  • Drink counting is an identified PBS, yet attitudes, barriers, and facilitators to its use are underexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate Australian drinkers' perceptions of drink counting compared to other PBSs.
  • To identify barriers and facilitators influencing the use of drink counting.
  • To explore methods for promoting drink counting effectively.

Main Methods:

  • Survey of 1,703 Australian drinkers on perceptions of five PBSs.
  • Focus groups with drinkers to identify promotion strategies for drink counting.

Main Results:

  • Drink counting was perceived less favorably than less effective PBSs.
  • Key barriers included unawareness of alcohol's long-term harms, social factors (peer pressure), and difficulty counting when intoxicated.
  • Participants suggested enhancing understanding of alcohol-related harms and developing counting aids.

Conclusions:

  • Information campaigns are essential to educate the public on long-term alcohol risks and promote drink counting.
  • Evidence-based tools to aid drink counting could increase its adoption and effectiveness.
