Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

38.8K
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...

Longitudinal Research

Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Hindsight Biases

Hindsight bias leads you to believe that the event you just experienced was predictable, even though it really wasn’t. In other words, you knew all along that things would turn out the way they did. Can you relate this to the phrase "Hindsight is 20/20" now?

Purposive Learning01:22

Purposive Learning

E. C. Tolman emphasized the purposiveness of behavior — the idea that much of our behavior is goal-directed. For instance, employees who aim for a promotion work diligently to meet their targets. Tolman argued that when classical conditioning and operant conditioning occur, the organism acquires certain expectations. In classical conditioning, a child might fear a dog because they expect it to bite. In operant conditioning, a person might consistently work overtime because they expect a...

Social Cognitive Perspective on Personality01:30

Social Cognitive Perspective on Personality

492
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...

Area of Science:

  • Organizational Psychology
  • Behavioral Science
  • Occupational Health

Background:

  • Presenteeism, working while ill, poses risks to productivity and health.
  • Understanding the psychological drivers of presenteeism is crucial for intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate presenteeism using the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB).
  • To examine the association between attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and presenteeism.

Main Methods:

  • Longitudinal study with 2814 employees across 16 companies.
  • Survey data collected at two time points using validated scales and vignettes.
  • Analysis included cluster analysis and linear mixed-effects regression to evaluate the TPB model.

Main Results:

  • Three distinct clusters of attitudes toward presenteeism were identified.
  • The TPB model explained a significant portion of presenteeism variance (27.8% fixed, 52.6% combined).
  • Presenteeism was associated with job demands, work-privacy conflict, and leadership culture; attitudes were strong predictors.

Conclusions:

  • The Theory of Planned Behaviour effectively explains presenteeism.
  • Individual attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control are key determinants.
  • Promoting a health-supportive culture and open communication about illness may reduce presenteeism.
