The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison02:57

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

49.9K
According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Self-Schemas

31.1K
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-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

5.2K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

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...

Collisions in Multiple Dimensions: Introduction

5.4K
It is far more common for collisions to occur in two dimensions; that is, the initial velocity vectors are neither parallel nor antiparallel to each other. Let's see what complications arise from this. The first idea is that momentum is a vector. Like all vectors, it can be expressed as a sum of perpendicular components (usually, though not always, an x-component and a y-component, and a z-component if necessary). Thus, when the statement of conservation of momentum is written for a...

Self-Concept01:19

Self-Concept

28
Self-concept is the cognitive and emotional understanding individuals hold about their identity. It evolves through various developmental stages, beginning in infancy and maturing as children grow. This concept influences how individuals perceive their abilities, interact with others, and manage challenges throughout life.
Infancy and Emerging Recognition
During infancy, self-concept is virtually nonexistent. Babies do not distinguish themselves as separate entities and often mistake their...

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Science
  • Neuroscience
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Extended Reality (XR)

Background:

  • Traditional cognitive studies rely on low-dimensional, controlled laboratory stimuli.
  • High-dimensional, ecologically valid tools are needed to reflect real-world cognitive activities.
  • Extended reality (XR) and Metaverse platforms offer dynamic, high-dimensional stimulus presentations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss the need for high-dimensional stimulus presentations in cognitive research.
  • To introduce technologies of the extended mind, with the Metaverse as a key example.
  • To propose a neurocognitive framework for understanding human-technology couplings.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current needs for high-dimensional cognitive studies.
  • Introduction of Metaverse and extended mind technologies.
  • Proposal of a neurocognitive framework detailing neural correlates of human-technology interaction.

Main Results:

  • Identified the need for high-dimensional stimuli that mirror everyday cognitive activities.
  • Presented the Metaverse as a platform for cognitive extension through coupled human-simulation technologies.
  • Proposed a framework linking neural processes (limbic-ventral striatal, prefrontal-dorsal striatal, insular cortex) to algorithmic cognitive functions in technology interaction.

Conclusions:

  • High-dimensional Metaverse approaches can extend cognition by simulating real-world activities.
  • Human-technology interactions can become automated, algorithmic couplings over time.
  • The Metaverse provides a valuable tool for studying responses to high-dimensional stimuli in ecologically valid simulations.
