Social Cognitive Perspective on Personality

601
Social cognitive perspectives on personality emphasize the importance of conscious awareness, beliefs, expectations, and goals in shaping behavior. These perspectives incorporate behaviorist principles, such as learning through reinforcement and conditioning, but extend beyond them by highlighting human reasoning and planning. Unlike traditional behaviorist views, social cognitive theory focuses on how individuals reflect on their past experiences and plan for future outcomes by considering...

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

39.1K
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...

Frustration and Conflict: Avoidance-Avoidance, Double-Approach Avoidance

122

These conflicts are particularly stressful because neither option is desirable. This dilemma is often expressed in sayings like "caught between a rock and a hard place" or "between the devil and the deep blue sea." For instance, individuals who fear dental procedures may find themselves torn between enduring a painful toothache or facing the...

Surveys

14.9K
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.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Psychology
  • Transportation Safety

Background:

  • Aging is associated with changes in driving abilities.
  • Self-regulation of driving behaviors, like situational avoidance, is common in older adults.
  • Understanding factors influencing driving avoidance is crucial for maintaining mobility and safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine correlates of situational driving avoidance in mid-life and older adults.
  • To investigate the roles of personality traits, gender, and cognition in driving avoidance.
  • To analyze data from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA).

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional analysis of a large sample from the CLSA.
  • Assessment of situational driving avoidance.
  • Evaluation of personality traits, gender, and cognitive function.

Main Results:

  • Older women reported higher levels of driving avoidance.
  • Personality traits (extraversion, emotional stability, openness) were associated with reduced driving avoidance.
  • Higher cognitive function was negatively correlated with driving avoidance.

Conclusions:

  • Gender and personality traits are significant factors in driving avoidance among older adults.
  • Cognitive function plays a role in self-regulation of driving.
  • Findings can inform interventions to support safe driving in aging populations.
