Social Cognitive Perspective on Personality01:30

Social Cognitive Perspective on Personality

470
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...

Social Exchange Theory

We have discussed why we form relationships, what attracts us to others, and different types of love. But what determines whether we are satisfied with and stay in a relationship?

According to social exchange theory, we act as naïve economists in keeping a tally of the ratio of costs and benefits of forming and maintaining a relationship with others (Rusbult & Van Lange, 2003).

Socioemotional Experience and Gender Development

21
Social-emotional experiences and cultural influences play significant roles in shaping gender development. During middle childhood, from ages 6 to 11, peer groups become dominant in reinforcing gender norms. Children in this age group often align with same-gender peer groups, which actively encourage behaviors that conform to traditional gender roles. For instance, boys may be discouraged from engaging in activities perceived as feminine, reinforcing culturally dictated norms about masculinity...

Horney's Sociocultural Approach

426
Karen Horney's psychoanalytic theories emphasize the potential for self-realization and the importance of addressing social and cultural, rather than biological, factors in personality development. She challenged traditional Freudian views, particularly Freud's concept of "penis envy," which she argued stemmed from cultural influences rather than inherent biological differences. Horney believed that any sense of inferiority in women was a result of societal conditioning, such as...

Bystander Effect

The discussion of bullying highlights the problem of witnesses not intervening to help a victim. This is a common occurrence, as the following well-publicized event demonstrates. In 1964, in Queens, New York, a 19-year-old woman named Kitty Genovese was attacked by a person with a knife near the back entrance to her apartment building and again in the hallway inside her apartment building. When the attack occurred, she screamed for help numerous times and eventually died from her stab wounds.

Area of Science:

  • Social Psychology
  • Health Psychology
  • Medical Sociology

Background:

  • The influence of the social ecosystem on individual wellbeing is established.
  • Existing research acknowledges the impact of social factors on health outcomes.
  • A gap exists in defining and studying the specific social influences on health beyond direct interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and define the novel term 'socebo effect'.
  • To conceptualize the socebo effect as a positive psychological impact derived from social factors within healthcare.
  • To propose the socebo effect as a non-drug intervention for enhancing health-related quality of life.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis and definition of the socebo effect.
  • Identification of key psychological factors influenced by the social ecosystem (disease perception, physician relationship, healthcare environment).
  • Proposal for future objective study designs.

Main Results:

  • The socebo effect is defined as the positive impact of psychological changes related to disease, physicians, person-physician interactions, and the healthcare ecosystem.
  • Social factors act as non-drug interventions, improving health-related quality of life.
  • The socebo effect encompasses psychological benefits derived from the broader social context of healthcare.

Conclusions:

  • The socebo effect represents a significant, yet understudied, psychosocial construct in healthcare.
  • Further objective research is needed to validate the socebo effect in various conditions, including diabetes and obesity.
  • Understanding the socebo effect can lead to novel, non-pharmacological approaches to patient care and wellbeing.
