Self-Concept01:19

Self-Concept

81
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...

Changes in the Appendicular Skeleton with Age

2.1K
The upper and lower limb initially develops as a small bulge called a limb bud, which appears on the lateral side of the early embryo. The upper limb bud appears near the end of the fourth week of development, with the lower limb bud appearing shortly after.
Initially, the limb buds consist of a core of mesenchyme covered by a layer of ectoderm. The ectoderm at the end of the limb bud thickens to form a narrow crest called the apical ectodermal ridge. This ridge stimulates the underlying...

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

50.2K
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...

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...

Development of the Limb Synovial Joints

1.5K
Joints form during embryonic development in conjunction with the formation and growth of the associated bones. The embryonic tissue that gives rise to all bones, cartilage, and connective tissues of the body is called mesenchyme.
The mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into chondrocytes that form the hyaline cartilage, and later the cartilaginous model of the bone. This model further transforms into a bone. This process is known as endochondral ossification.
During development, the limbs...

Self-Discrepancy Theory

18.4K
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:

  • Pediatric Psychology
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Rehabilitation Medicine

Background:

  • Visible physical differences, like limb differences, can significantly affect psychosocial development in children.
  • Children with limb differences may experience negative psychosocial outcomes, impacting their overall well-being.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a scoping review of existing literature on the self-concept of children with limb differences.
  • To synthesize findings regarding how limb differences influence children's self-concept and related constructs.

Main Methods:

  • Adherence to PRISMA ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews) guidelines.
  • Comprehensive literature search across Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and PubMed databases.
  • Inclusion of nine relevant articles, with two focusing on self-concept and seven on associated constructs like self-perception and self-esteem.

Main Results:

  • The social environment was identified as a key factor influencing psychopathology and self-concept development in children with limb differences.
  • Studies indicated a strong link between social interactions and the psychological adjustment of children with limb differences.
  • A significant heterogeneity in assessment methods was observed across the reviewed studies.

Conclusions:

  • The social environment is critical for the psychosocial development and self-concept of children with limb differences.
  • There is a clear need for a standardized, gold-standard instrument to accurately assess the self-concept of children with limb differences.
  • Further research should focus on developing and validating such instruments to improve clinical assessment and intervention.
