Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping02:05

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...

Self-Discrepancy Theory

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.

Social Loafing01:37

Social Loafing

34.8K
Another way in which a group presence can affect performance is social loafing—the exertion of less effort by a person working together with a group. Social loafing occurs when our individual performance cannot be evaluated separately from the group. Thus, group performance declines on easy tasks (Karau & Williams, 1993). Essentially individual group members loaf and let other group members pick up the slack. Because each individual’s efforts cannot be evaluated,...

Personality Disorders: Dependent and Obsessive-Compulsive

Dependent personality disorder and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder are two separate psychological conditions that influence behavior, relationships, and overall life functioning. Though both involve maladaptive behaviors, their core characteristics and motivations differ significantly.
 Dependent Personality Disorder
Dependent personality disorder is characterized by an excessive reliance on others to manage various aspects of life. Individuals with this disorder often struggle...

Stress Prevention and Stress Management Techniques IV

49
Stress often leads to unhealthy habits like smoking, excessive drinking, and overeating, which offer short-term relief but ultimately increase long-term health risks. These behaviors create a cycle that temporarily lowers stress levels but can result in severe long-term health consequences. Breaking these habits is essential to reduce the risk of chronic diseases and improve overall well-being. Three primary changes that support better health include quitting smoking, reducing alcohol intake,...

Stress Prevention and Stress Management Techniques VI

51
Adopting a healthier lifestyle often requires overcoming significant challenges, but leveraging psychological, social, and cultural resources can facilitate meaningful change. Effective self-change hinges on understanding and applying key tools such as motivation and goal setting, which help sustain efforts toward long-term health benefits.
Motivation and Self-Determination
Motivation, the driving force behind behavior, plays a pivotal role at every stage of the change process. The research...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Organizational Behavior
  • Human Resources

Background:

  • Workaholism is widely studied but lacks a consistent definition.
  • This definitional ambiguity affects the development and application of measurement tools.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review literature on the development, adaptation, and psychometric properties of workaholism scales.
  • To present the current landscape of workaholism measurement tools.
  • To identify trends and future research directions for measuring workaholism.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature review of studies focused on creating, adapting, or validating workaholism scales.
  • Analysis of the conceptualizations and psychometric properties of identified scales.

Main Results:

  • Discrepancies in workaholism definitions lead to scales measuring divergent conceptualizations.
  • Existing workaholism scales often require adaptation when used in different national contexts.
  • The review highlights a fragmented approach to conceptualizing and measuring workaholism.

Conclusions:

  • A need exists to converge the definition of workaholism for clearer conceptualization.
  • Validation of workaholism scales across diverse industries, cultures, and countries is crucial.
  • Standardized and contextually validated measurement tools are essential for advancing workaholism research.
