Surveys02:16

Surveys

16.6K
Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

5.7K
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...

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...

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model01:29

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model

254
The Self-Evaluation Maintenance (SEM) model offers a psychological framework to understand how individuals’ self-esteem is influenced by the achievements of others, particularly those with whom they share close personal bonds. The SEM model operates when personal rather than social identity guides individuals. Central to this model is the notion that individuals have an inherent desire to preserve a favorable self-image, which is continuously shaped by interpersonal comparisons and...

Social Foundations of Self III: Self-Evaluation

169
Self-evaluation is the process by which individuals assess their abilities, behaviors, and characteristics based on feedback from others. Charles H. Cooley observed that a person’s self-perception is primarily influenced by how others see and judge them. He suggested that individuals form their identities based on their interpretations of others' reactions. As a result, social interactions play a crucial role in shaping self-esteem and personal identity. These external evaluations often...

Area of Science:

  • International Education
  • Pharmacy Education
  • Life Sciences Education

Background:

  • Short-term study abroad programs offer significant opportunities for student development.
  • Understanding student experiences in these programs is crucial for optimizing educational outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate changes in motivation, self-perceived growth, and future aspirations of Japanese pharmacy and life sciences students.
  • To analyze the impact of distinct short-term study abroad program contexts on student development.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized pre- and post-program surveys with qualitative open-ended responses.
  • Employed KH Coder for text-mining analysis (co-occurrence network, correspondence analysis).
  • Assessed English proficiency improvements in Listening, Reading, Speaking, and Writing.

Main Results:

  • Students shared motivations like challenge-seeking and personal development.
  • Learning outcomes varied by program, with emphasis on cultural awareness, communication, proactivity, and future career links.
  • Listening skills improved universally; Speaking and Writing improved in one program; Reading showed no change or slight decline.

Conclusions:

  • Short-term study abroad meaningfully fosters student growth, influenced by program goals and individual motivation.
  • Self-reported growth included enhanced communicative confidence and intercultural adaptability.
  • A discrepancy exists between perceived growth and measured English proficiency, necessitating comprehensive evaluation methods.
