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

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

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...

One of the most prominent examples is the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), initially developed in the 1940s to assess abnormal personality traits.

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...

Metacognition

Metacognition

Metacognition is a conscious process where individuals are aware of their cognitive and executive processes, such as planning before solving a problem or self-monitoring during reading. For instance, a writer may need help with composing a piece. The situation involves a writer who is working on a piece of writing, but while doing so, they realize that something is missing. They notice that their characters lack depth or details. This realization occurs because the writer is reflecting on their...

Background:

The Reflective Practice Questionnaire (RPQ) has been updated.
The original 40-item, 10-sub-scale RPQ is now streamlined.
New versions include a 10-item single construct and a 30-item extended version with sub-scales for confidence, stress, and job satisfaction.

Purpose of the Study:

To streamline the Reflective Practice Questionnaire (RPQ).
To develop brief and extended versions of the RPQ.
To assess the validity and industry sensitivity of the revised RPQ.

Main Methods:

A total of 501 university students completed an online questionnaire.
The questionnaire included the original RPQ and two general reflection measures.
Factor analysis was used to refine the RPQ.

Main Results:

The RPQ was successfully streamlined into 10-item and 30-item versions.
The revised RPQ demonstrated discriminant validity against general reflection measures.
The RPQ showed sensitivity to industry differences, with higher scores in health and education.

Conclusions:

The streamlined RPQ is a valid and reliable measure of reflective practice.
The updated RPQ can differentiate reflective practice levels across various industries.
The findings support the use of the revised RPQ in diverse professional contexts.
