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

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

49.5K
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...

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

19
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...

Self-Schemas

30.8K
In general, a schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Social Cognitive Perspective on Personality01:30

Social Cognitive Perspective on Personality

454
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...

Metacognition01:26

Metacognition

130
Metacognition is a conscious process where individuals are aware of their cognitive and executive processes, such as planning before solving a problem or self-monitoring during reading. For instance, a writer may need help with composing a piece. The situation involves a writer who is working on a piece of writing, but while doing so, they realize that something is missing. They notice that their characters lack depth or details. This realization occurs because the writer is reflecting on their...

Summary

A strategic mindset helps individuals learn from others and improve. This mindset reduces social conflict perception and enhances self-concept adjustment based on feedback, promoting personal growth.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive psychology
  • Neuroscience
  • Social psychology

Background:

  • Mindsets influence openness to learning and self-improvement.
  • A strategic mindset, characterized by strategy-eliciting questions, is linked to academic success.
  • Neuropsychological underpinnings of strategic mindset in social interactions are not well understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Investigate the relationship between strategic mindset, social feedback processing, and self-concept adjustment.
  • Explore the neural correlates of strategic mindset during social feedback.
  • Differentiate strategic mindset from growth mindset.

Main Methods:

  • Event-related potential (ERP) study with 41 participants.
  • Behavioral study with 45 participants.
  • Analysis of N400 and late positive potential (LPP) components in response to social feedback.

Main Results:

  • A strategic mindset negatively correlated with the neural indicator of social conflict (N400 component).
  • Strategic mindset showed selective positive responses to desirable social feedback (LPP amplitude).
  • Higher strategic mindset levels predicted greater self-concept updating based on conflicting social opinions.

Conclusions:

  • Strategic mindset is associated with reduced neural responses to social conflict.
  • It facilitates adaptive self-concept adjustment in response to social feedback.
  • Strategic mindset uniquely contributes to personal growth beyond a growth mindset.
