Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping02:05

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

38.7K
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...

Determination of Expected Frequency01:08

Determination of Expected Frequency

2.1K
Suppose one wants to test independence between the two variables of a contingency table. The values in the table constitute the observed frequencies of the dataset. But how does one determine the expected frequency of the dataset? One of the important assumptions is that the two variables are independent, which means the variables do not influence each other. For independent variables, the statistical probability of any event involving both variables is calculated by multiplying the individual...

Attitudes

28.1K
Attitude is our evaluation of a person, an idea, or an object. We have attitudes for many things ranging from products that we might pick up in the supermarket to people around the world to political policies. Typically, attitudes are favorable or unfavorable: positive or negative (Eagly & Chaiken, 1993). And, they have three components: an affective component (feelings), a behavioral component (the effect of the attitude on behavior), and a cognitive component (belief and knowledge;...

Bias01:22

Bias

3.7K
Bias refers to any tendency that prevents a question from being considered unprejudiced. In research, bias occurs when one outcome or answer is selected or encouraged over others in sampling or testing. Bias can occur during any research phase, including study design, data collection, analysis, and publication.
In statistics, a sampling bias is created when a sample is collected from a population, and some members of the population are not as likely to be chosen as others (remember, each member...

Self-Discrepancy Theory

18.3K
One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep01:24

Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep

152
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,...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Public Health
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Individual beliefs about gambling significantly shape gambling behaviors.
  • Existing research has not clearly defined the links between gambling attitudes, frequency, and problem gambling severity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To clarify the relationship between gambling attitudes, gambling behavior, and problem gambling.
  • To investigate how problem gambling severity moderates the connection between attitudes and gambling frequency.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of data from the 2018 Northern Territory Gambling Prevalence and Wellbeing Survey (N=1629).
  • Utilized the Attitudes Towards Gambling Survey (ATGS) and Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI).
  • Assessed measurement invariance of the ATGS and tested for moderation effects.

Main Results:

  • Problem gambling severity was found to moderate the relationship between gambling attitudes and gambling frequency.
  • The influence of gambling attitudes on gambling behavior intensified with higher levels of problem gambling.
  • Individuals with a higher risk of problem gambling showed a stronger impact of their attitudes on their gambling frequency.

Conclusions:

  • The findings highlight that gambling attitudes have a more pronounced effect on gambling frequency as problem gambling risk increases.
  • Results suggest implications for cognitive dissonance, rationalization, and gambling motivation.
  • The study provides insights for refining problem gambling prevention and intervention strategies.
