Schizophrenia01:17

Schizophrenia

181
Schizophrenia, a term introduced by Swiss psychiatrist Eugen Bleuler in 1911, describes a severe psychological disorder marked by profound disruptions in attention, thought processes, language, emotion, and interpersonal relationships. The core feature of schizophrenia is psychosis — a state characterized by a fundamental detachment from reality. This disconnection manifests through distorted logic, impaired perception, and atypical behavior, severely affecting the lives of those...

Psychological and Sociocultural Causes of Schizophrenia

158
Schizophrenia, a complex psychiatric disorder, has been historically misunderstood. Early psychological theories attributed its origins to childhood trauma and unresponsive parenting. However, contemporary research largely rejects these notions, favoring the vulnerability-stress hypothesis. This model proposes that individuals with a genetic predisposition to schizophrenia may develop the disorder following exposure to significant environmental stressors. Notably, studies on high-risk...

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

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...

Positive Symptoms Schizophrenia: Hallucinations and Delusions

113
Schizophrenia is a complex psychiatric disorder characterized by a range of symptoms that significantly impact cognition, behavior, and emotional regulation. Among these, the positive symptoms stand out as they involve the addition or exaggeration of normal mental functions, deviating markedly from typical behavior and perception. Hallucinations and delusions are prominent positive symptoms, each profoundly affecting the individual's experience of reality.

Self-Schemas02:16

Self-Schemas

31.2K
In general, a schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

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.

Summary

Time perspective (TP) influences self-stigma in schizophrenia. Negative and fatalistic time views correlate with higher self-stigma, while a positive future outlook may reduce it.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Psychiatry
  • Personality Science

Background:

  • Time perspective (TP) describes individual differences in how experiences are assigned to time.
  • TP may illuminate personality traits influencing vulnerability to internalized stigma.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the links between time perspective and self-stigma.
  • To empirically clarify the underpinnings of self-stigma through TP.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional study of 86 patients with paranoid schizophrenia.
  • Utilized Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (ZTPI), Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness (ISMI), and Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS).

Main Results:

  • Self-stigma positively correlated with Past-Negative, Future-Negative, and Present-Fatalistic TP.
  • Self-stigma negatively correlated with Future-Positive TP.
  • TP categories and Deviation from Balanced Time Perspective (DBTP) predicted self-stigma beyond control variables.

Conclusions:

  • TP offers new insights into proneness or resistance to self-stigmatization.
  • Findings may inform novel anti-self-stigma interventions for schizophrenia.
