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...

Measures of Intelligence01:29

Measures of Intelligence

7.2K
Psychologists measure intelligence by using standardized tests that produce a score known as the intelligence quotient or IQ. To understand IQ tests, it's important to recognize the key principles behind their construction: validity, reliability, and standardization.
Validity refers to how well a test measures what it claims to measure. An intelligence test should accurately assess intelligence rather than another characteristic, like anxiety. Criterion validity is one way to evaluate this;...

Self-Report Tests of Personality01:22

Self-Report Tests of Personality

352
Self-report inventories are objective personality assessments that use multiple-choice items or numbered scales, typically ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). They are often called Likert scales after Rensis Likert. These inventories are widely used due to their ease of administration and cost-effectiveness. One of the most prominent examples is the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), initially developed in the 1940s to assess abnormal personality traits.

Confidence Coefficient01:24

Confidence Coefficient

7.6K
The confidence coefficient is also known as the confidence level or degree of confidence. It is the percent expression for the probability, 1-α, that the confidence interval contains the true population parameter assuming that the confidence interval is obtained after sufficient unbiased sampling; for example, if the CL = 90%, then in 90 out of 100 samples the interval estimate will enclose the true population parameter. Here α is the area under the curve, distributed equally under...

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...

Modeling in Therapy01:26

Modeling in Therapy

79
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...

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Psychology
  • Pediatric Physical Therapy

Background:

  • Limited clinical tools exist to assess self-confidence in sport-specific movements for pediatric and adolescent athletes.
  • Psychological factors, including self-efficacy, significantly influence readiness to return to play.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To test the psychometric properties of sport-specific modules designed to complement the Adolescent Measure of Confidence and Movement Performance (AMCaMP).
  • To evaluate the reliability and validity of these modules for assessing movement self-efficacy in young athletes.

Main Methods:

  • A quasi-experimental, cross-sectional validation study involving 14,744 pediatric patients (11-18 years) across 12 sports.
  • Administration of 12 sport-specific self-report questionnaires at initial visit and end of care.
  • Factor analysis (exploratory and confirmatory) and reliability analyses (coefficient alpha, SEM, MDC).

Main Results:

  • Nine of the 12 sport-specific modules (baseball, softball, basketball, football, gymnastics, cheerleading, soccer, ballet, swimming) were suitable for factor analysis.
  • Factor analyses supported the hypothesized structures for most modules, confirming their underlying dimensions.
  • High reliability was demonstrated across modules, with coefficient alpha ranging from 0.8 to 0.976.

Conclusions:

  • The AMCaMP sport-specific modules are reliable and valid tools for assessing self-confidence in performing sport-specific movements.
  • These modules effectively supplement the general AMCaMP measure, enhancing the evaluation of psychological readiness for return to sport.
  • The findings support the clinical utility of these modules in the comprehensive assessment of athletes.
