Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

43.4K
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...

Erikson's Theory on Socioemotional Development during Adolescence

989
Erik Erikson's fifth stage of psychosocial development, "identity versus role confusion," is crucial during adolescence (ages 12 to 18). In this stage, adolescents face the developmental task of forging a distinct personal identity, a process influenced by social, psychological, and biological changes typical of this period. Adolescents naturally explore different roles, behaviors, and ideologies as they navigate complex questions of self-concept, asking, "Who am I?" and "What is my place in...

Socioemotional Development during Infancy

395
Socio-emotional development in infancy is primarily shaped by early emotional responses and social connections, with temperament playing a central role. Temperament refers to the consistent patterns in an individual's emotional and behavioral responses, observable even in infancy. By examining temperament, researchers can better understand an infant's unique ways of interacting with the world, influencing subsequent personality and socio-emotional growth.

Cognitive Development During Adolescence

439
During adolescence, individuals experience significant cognitive development that enhances their understanding of others' emotions and thoughts, known as cognitive empathy. This period is marked by an increased ability to adapt to others' perspectives and a more nuanced understanding of others' mental states, a skill that is foundational for social problem-solving and conflict avoidance. The development of cognitive empathy relies heavily on the theory of mind — the...

Socioemotional Experience and Gender Development

247
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...

Conduct Disorder01:28

Conduct Disorder

439
Conduct disorder is a complex mental health diagnosis characterized by a repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior that violates societal norms, the rights of others, or age-appropriate rules. The diagnostic criteria for conduct disorder require the presence of at least three problematic behaviors within the past 12 months, with at least one occurring in the past six months. These behaviors are grouped into four categories: aggression toward people and animals; destruction of property;...

Summary

Adolescent brain development shows an imbalance between socioemotional drives and executive control, increasing risk for heavy drinking. Early identification of these developmental discrepancies can help prevent alcohol use disorder.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Addiction Research

Background:

  • Adolescence is characterized by a maturational imbalance between heightened socioemotional drivers and immature executive control.
  • This developmental vulnerability may explain the increased risk-taking behaviors, including heavy drinking, observed during this period.
  • Brain functional activity imbalances during adolescence are linked to the propensity for developing heavy drinking patterns.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To longitudinally compare the developmental trajectories of socioemotional and executive control systems.
  • To differentiate these trajectories between adolescents who develop heavy drinking habits and those who do not.
  • To examine these trajectories before and after the onset of drinking.

Main Methods:

  • A longitudinal cohort study involving 633 participants from the National Consortium on Alcohol and Neurodevelopment in Adolescence.
  • Utilized resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging and neuropsychological assessments.
  • Analyzed 3076 visits from baseline (abstinence or very low alcohol consumption) to study completion, with statistical analysis conducted from October 2024 to July 2025.

Main Results:

  • Participants who initiated heavy drinking (n=238) showed significantly elevated brain-behavior scores in the socioemotional system prior to drinking onset (increase of 0.18).
  • In contrast, developmental trajectories showed executive control deviations in both systems (increase of 0.44), with a significantly greater effect size in the socioemotional system (z=3.51, P<.001).
  • This indicates a pronounced imbalance favoring socioemotional reactivity over executive control development before heavy drinking onset.

Conclusions:

  • Asynchronized maturation of socioemotion- and executive function-coupled brain connectivity in adolescence is a potential risk factor for heavy drinking onset.
  • Alcohol consumption is associated with deficits in executive control and exacerbated alterations in the socioemotional system.
  • Early recognition of these developmental discrepancies is crucial for preventing alcohol use disorder in emerging adulthood.
