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

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

39.0K
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...

Stress Prevention and Stress Management Techniques IV

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,...

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008).

Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Adolescence is a pivotal period of identity formation, during which individuals begin to answer questions central to their sense of self, such as "Who am I?" and "Who do I hope to become?" Both parents and peers play critical roles in guiding adolescents through this complex developmental phase.

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture

33
Adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds face a multifaceted journey in forming their identities, shaped by the intersections of cultural expectations and personal exploration. For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture. As they grow, adolescents in ethnic minority groups often become increasingly aware of stereotypes, social biases, and discrimination, all of which...

Erikson's Theory on Socioemotional Development during Adolescence

120
Erik Erikson's fifth stage of psychosocial development, "identity versus role confusion," is crucial during adolescence (ages 12 to 18). In this stage, adolescents face the developmental task of forging a distinct personal identity, a process influenced by social, psychological, and biological changes typical of this period. Adolescents naturally explore different roles, behaviors, and ideologies as they navigate complex questions of self-concept, asking, "Who am I?" and...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Adolescent Health
  • Substance Use Research

Background:

  • Sensation seeking is linked to hazardous drinking and alcohol-related consequences in adolescents.
  • Protective behavioral strategies (PBS) may mitigate these risks.
  • Understanding moderators is crucial for targeted interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine protective behavioral strategies (PBS) as a moderator.
  • To investigate the relationship between sensation seeking and hazardous drinking.
  • To assess the impact on alcohol-related consequences in high school seniors.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional study design.
  • Hierarchical regression analyses.
  • Sample of 212 high school seniors.

Main Results:

  • Sensation seeking significantly predicted binge drinking, pre-partying, gaming, and alcohol-related consequences.
  • PBS use moderated these relationships.
  • High sensation seeking adolescents using PBS showed significantly better outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Protective behavioral strategies (PBS) are effective in reducing hazardous drinking and alcohol-related consequences.
  • Counseling should assess and promote PBS for high sensation seeking adolescents.
  • Harm reduction strategies focusing on PBS are recommended.
