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...

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...

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

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...

Self-Concept01:19

Self-Concept

20
Self-concept is the cognitive and emotional understanding individuals hold about their identity. It evolves through various developmental stages, beginning in infancy and maturing as children grow. 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...

Relationship Formation

What do you think is the single most influential factor in determining with whom you become friends and whom you form romantic relationships? You might be surprised to learn that the answer is simple: the people with whom you have the most contact. This most important factor is proximity. You are more likely to be friends with people you have regular contact with. For example, there are decades of research that shows that you are more likely to become friends with people who live in your dorm,...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Addiction Studies

Background:

  • Codependent behavior is recognized in psychological theories, but empirical data on its manifestations with different addictions is limited.
  • Understanding the specific psychological traits associated with codependency is crucial for effective intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the characteristics of self-attitude and reflection in women experiencing codependency.
  • To differentiate these features based on the type of addiction in their partners or absence thereof.

Main Methods:

  • A study involving 233 women (aged 18-70), with 102 in relationships with individuals addicted to alcohol, drugs, or non-chemical dependencies.
  • Utilized the Self-Attitude Questionnaire, Differential Type of Reflection Questionnaire, and Codependency Self-Inventory Scale (CSIS).

Main Results:

  • Women with high codependency showed significantly lower self-esteem, underestimated abilities, and reduced life control compared to controls.
  • High codependency was linked to lower self-consistency, focus on weaknesses, and increased self-blame.
  • Quasi-reflexivity was more prevalent in codependent women with non-chemical addicts or no identified addict in their lives.

Conclusions:

  • Significant differences in self-attitude and reflection exist between control and codependent groups, varying by addiction type.
  • These findings enhance understanding of codependent behavior's psychological underpinnings in women.
  • The study offers valuable insights for future research and clinical applications in treating codependency.
