Introduction to z Scores

385
A z score (or standardized value) is measured in units of the standard deviation. It indicates how many standard deviations the value x is above (to the right of) or below (to the left of) the mean, μ. Values of x that are larger than the mean have positive z scores, and values of x that are smaller than the mean have negative z scores. If x equals the mean, then x has a zero z score. It is important to note that the mean of the z scores is zero, and the standard deviation is one.

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...

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...

  • To enhance patient adherence to medical interventions and advice.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a novel web-based personality determiner.
  • Integration of the personality determiner with gamification strategies.
  • Evaluation of the personalized gamification approach for adherence.

Main Results:

  • The proposed web-based personality determiner enables personalized gamification.
  • Personalized gamification has the potential to significantly improve patient adherence.
  • Structured implementation of gamification, informed by personality data, is key.

Conclusions:

  • A novel web-based personality determiner can facilitate personalized gamification.
  • Personalized gamification offers a promising avenue for improving adherence to medical advice.
  • This approach can lead to better health outcomes and reduced healthcare costs.
