Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

5.2K
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...

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...

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

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:

  • Psychiatry
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Digital Health

Background:

  • Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) impacts 13% of young adults, yet most do not access evidence-based treatments.
  • Digital interventions offer scalable access to NSSI treatments, with preliminary data suggesting acceptability and feasibility.
  • A gap exists in publicly available digital interventions specifically designed for young adults with NSSI.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To gather young adults' impressions of early app prototypes for NSSI self-management.
  • To identify necessary improvements in interactive features and content for digital NSSI interventions.
  • To inform the design of user-centered digital tools for young adults experiencing NSSI.

Main Methods:

  • Iterative feedback sessions were conducted over three waves with 10 young adults reporting past-month NSSI.
  • The study built upon prior research exploring technology use in NSSI self-management.
  • Feedback focused on app prototype features, functionality, and personalization needs.

Main Results:

  • Participants generally responded favorably to the app prototypes.
  • Feedback indicated a need for augmented features, enhanced functionality, and increased personalization options.
  • Key design challenges identified include the roles of tracking and temporality in digital NSSI interventions.

Conclusions:

  • Young adults provided valuable input for developing effective digital interventions for NSSI.
  • Design considerations, framed by the lived informatics model, are crucial for optimizing these tools.
  • Further development should focus on personalization and addressing tracking/temporality challenges to meet user needs.
