Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

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...

Self-Regulation

Self-Regulation

Self-regulation, also known as self-control, encompasses a range of cognitive and behavioral processes that allow individuals to adjust their internal states and outward actions to align with socially acceptable norms and long-term goals. It plays a fundamental role in adaptive functioning, from resisting impulsive behaviors to persisting through challenging tasks. While its benefits are widely recognized, self-regulation is not limitless. Muraven and Baumeister's theory posits that...

Self-Discrepancy Theory

Self-Discrepancy Theory

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.

Stress Prevention and Stress Management Techniques I

Stress Prevention and Stress Management Techniques I

Stress prevention and management are crucial for maintaining well-being and building resilience. Techniques to manage stress include cultivating qualities like conscientiousness, a sense of personal control, and self-efficacy. Each of these traits significantly reduces stress and promotes healthier lifestyle choices and outcomes.
Conscientiousness
Conscientious individuals tend to be organized, responsible, and disciplined. They prioritize completing tasks and following structured routines,...

Bullying

Bullying

A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

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...

Summary

Adolescents with repetitive non-suicidal self-injury (R-NSSI) show impaired inhibitory control, specifically in processing interpersonal stress. They struggle with interference inhibition for negative social cues and exhibit broader response inhibition deficits.

Neuroscience

Background:

Repetitive non-suicidal self-injury (R-NSSI) is a significant concern in adolescents.
Impaired inhibitory control is implicated in R-NSSI, but its specific effects on interference and response inhibition under interpersonal stress are unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate whether adolescents with R-NSSI exhibit deficits in interference and response inhibition when exposed to interpersonal stress stimuli.
To explore the neurocognitive underpinnings of these potential deficits using event-related potentials (ERP).

Main Methods:

Two studies were conducted with adolescents identified with R-NSSI and healthy controls.
Study 1 used a negative affective priming (NAP) task with angry/disgusted faces to assess interference inhibition.
Study 2 employed a two-choice emotional oddball task with emotional faces to evaluate response inhibition, with ERP recorded in both studies.

Main Results:

Adolescents with R-NSSI showed impaired interference inhibition towards disgusted faces, indicated by lower NAP bias scores and altered P2d/LPCd amplitudes.
Deficits in response inhibition were observed across all face stimuli in R-NSSI adolescents, marked by longer reaction times and smaller P3d amplitudes.

Conclusions:

Adolescents with R-NSSI exhibit distinct neurocognitive patterns related to inhibitory control.
Findings suggest specific deficits in interference inhibition linked to interpersonal stress and general impairments in response inhibition in R-NSSI.
