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...

Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep

164
Substance use disorders involve a pattern of using drugs more extensively than intended and continuing use despite harmful consequences. This includes legal substances like alcohol and nicotine, as well as illegal drugs. These disorders often involve both physical and psychological dependence, reflecting compulsive use of substances that significantly alter thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, contributing to a major public health issue.
Understanding the concepts of physical dependence,...

CNS Depressants: Alcohol and Nicotine

203
Ethanol, a clear colorless alcohol, has been consumed by humans for millennia, but its effects on the body are far from benign. At lower doses, it induces decreased inhibitions and loquaciousness, leading to its social appeal. However, it can cause severe consequences at higher doses, such as coma and respiratory depression, due to its zero-order elimination kinetics. Chronic ethanol abuse wreaks havoc on multiple organ systems, particularly the CNS and the liver. Abrupt cessation of ethanol...

Deindividuation

26.4K
Deindividuation is a form of social influence on an individual’s behavior such that the individual engages in unusual or non-normal behavior while in a group setting. Why? Because in these group settings, the individual no longer sees themselves as an individual anymore, disinhibiting their behavior and personal restraint.

Cognitive Dissonance

32.6K
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...

Drug Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena

465
Drug dependence, abuse, and addiction are complex phenomena that can precipitate various abnormal states. Physical dependence refers to a state of pharmacological adaptation to a drug. This adaptation often results in tolerance—a reduced response to the drug after repeated administrations. When the drug use is abruptly stopped, withdrawal symptoms occur due to the body's need to readjust from the pharmacologically induced imbalance. However, tolerance and withdrawal symptoms do not...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Social Psychology
  • Addiction Studies

Background:

  • Harmful drinking leads to negative health and social outcomes.
  • Individuals often resist acknowledging personal drinking problems, impeding recovery.
  • Social identity as a drinker is linked to drinking behaviors but not problem recognition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between social identity components and problem recognition in harmful drinkers.
  • To determine if explicit or implicit identity aspects predict recognition of drinking-related harm.

Main Methods:

  • Ninety-six harmful drinkers completed measures of ingroup self-investment, self-definition, implicit drinker identity, and problem recognition.
  • Data included demographics, addiction experience, and alcohol use (AUDIT).
  • Statistical analyses controlled for age, gender, and addiction history.

Main Results:

  • Explicit, not implicit, identity components significantly predicted problem recognition.
  • Higher perceived chronic saliency of drinker identity (self-investment) correlated with increased problem recognition.
  • Implicit association between self and being a drinker did not predict problem recognition.

Conclusions:

  • The explicit and chronically accessible nature of one's drinker identity may motivate problem recognition.
  • Interventions could focus on enhancing the explicit awareness of drinker identity to encourage help-seeking.
  • Understanding social identity is crucial for addressing harmful drinking behaviors.
