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...

Bullying

A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...

Introduction to Psychological Disorders

Abnormal behavior, often referred to as mental illness, results from changes in brain function that influence thought patterns, behaviors, and social interactions. Psychologists and psychiatrists typically assess abnormal behavior using three primary criteria: deviance, maladaptation, and personal distress, particularly when these traits persist over long periods.
Deviant Behavior
Deviance in behavior refers to actions or thought patterns that significantly diverge from societal norms or...

Social Scripts

9.5K
People tend to know what behavior is expected of them in specific, familiar settings. A script is a person’s knowledge about the sequence of events expected in a specific setting (Schank & Abelson, 1977). Essentially, scripts are a particular kind of schema, one containing default values for the features within an event. In the restaurant example, the script's features include the props (e.g., tables, menu, food, and money), the roles to be played (e.g., customer and waiter),...

Modeling in Therapy01:26

Modeling in Therapy

130
Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.
Participant Modeling
Participant modeling involves therapists demonstrating calm and effective behaviors in...

Social Traps01:41

Social Traps

22.4K
Social traps are negative situations where people get caught in a direction or relationship that later proves to be unpleasant, with no easy way to back out of or avoid. The concept was orignally introduced by John Platt who applied psychology to Garrett Hardin's "Tragedy of the Commons", where in New England herd owners could let their cattle graze in the common ground. This situation seems like a good idea, but an individual could have an advantage. If they owned...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

This study reveals four distinct user clusters linking social media habits to problematic internet usage (PIU). Understanding these patterns, like visual content engagement or conversational use, can help tailor interventions for at-risk individuals.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Digital Well-being

Background:

  • Problematic Internet Usage (PIU) is a growing concern.
  • Smartphone app usage patterns are increasingly linked to mental health outcomes.
  • Objective data on social media engagement is crucial for understanding PIU.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify distinct user clusters based on social media app usage and Problematic Internet Usage (PIU).
  • To explore the interplay between specific social media platforms (Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram) and PIU.
  • To inform the development of targeted interventions for individuals at risk of PIU.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized objective smartphone app usage data from 334 participants seeking to control their usage.
  • Measured Problematic Internet Usage (PIU) using the Problematic Internet Use Questionnaire-Short Form-6 (PIUQ-SF6).
  • Employed K-prototype clustering to analyze time spent on Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram in relation to PIU scores.

Main Results:

  • Identified four clusters: Light SM Use (80.84%), Highly Visual SM (Instagram-focused, 6.89%), Conversational SM (WhatsApp-focused, 5.69%), and Social Networking (Facebook-focused, 6.59%).
  • Individuals in specific clusters showed high engagement with one platform, spending less time on others.
  • Median PIU scores varied across clusters, with higher scores in the Highly Visual and Conversational SM clusters.

Conclusions:

  • Problematic social media attachment stems from engagement with visual content, peer conversations, or information surfing.
  • User clusters demonstrate that problematic usage is often platform-specific.
  • Findings support tailored interventions, addressing issues like impulse control for visual users and interpersonal skills for conversational users.
