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

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

49.7K
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...

The Behavioral Perspective on Personality01:19

The Behavioral Perspective on Personality

302
Behaviorists view personality as primarily shaped by environmental reinforcements and consequences. According to this perspective, behavior is influenced by external stimuli, and individuals adjust their actions based on rewards and punishments. Over time, learning histories — accumulated patterns of reinforcement — play a significant role in shaping personality. Behaviors that lead to positive outcomes are reinforced, while those resulting in negative outcomes are diminished.

Social Cognitive Perspective on Personality

507
Social cognitive perspectives on personality emphasize the importance of conscious awareness, beliefs, expectations, and goals in shaping behavior. These perspectives incorporate behaviorist principles, such as learning through reinforcement and conditioning, but extend beyond them by highlighting human reasoning and planning. Unlike traditional behaviorist views, social cognitive theory focuses on how individuals reflect on their past experiences and plan for future outcomes by considering...

Cognitive Dissonance

32.5K
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...

Behaviorism01:28

Behaviorism

2.3K
The field of behaviorism was pioneered by figures such as Ivan Pavlov, John B. Watson, and B.F. Skinner fundamentally shifted the focus of psychology to the observable and controllable aspects of human and animal behavior. This shift marked a critical evolution in the discipline, emphasizing scientific rigor and experimental methodology.
The core premise of behaviorism is its focus on observable behavior rather than internal thoughts or feelings. This approach argues that true scientific...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Ethology
  • Behavioral Plasticity

Background:

  • Social isolation negatively impacts human health and quality of life.
  • Social interaction profoundly influences behavior in both animals and humans, affecting aggression, feeding, and sleep patterns.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the long-lasting behavioral effects of social interaction in Drosophila melanogaster.
  • To explore the underlying mechanisms, including memory and neuronal plasticity, involved in these behavioral changes.

Main Methods:

  • Observing behavioral changes in fruit flies after social interaction.
  • Utilizing genetic manipulation and anesthesia to impair long-term memory mechanisms.
  • Measuring CREB-dependent neuronal activity and synaptic plasticity in the mushroom body.

Main Results:

  • Behavioral changes induced by social interaction persisted for up to 72 hours.
  • Impairing long-term memory abolished these behavioral changes.
  • Socialization increased CREB-dependent neuronal activity and synaptic plasticity in the mushroom body.

Conclusions:

  • Social interaction in fruit flies triggers "socialization awareness," a form of behavioral plasticity similar to long-term memory formation.
  • The mushroom body plays a crucial role in mediating these experience-dependent behavioral modifications.
