Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication01:30

Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication

255
Since the early 2000s, computer-mediated communication (CMC) has grown rapidly, playing a crucial role in self-development. A key distinction between CMC and real-life interactions is the lack of a physically present partner. This absence makes non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, body language, and paralinguistic signals unavailable in CMC platforms like email, instant messaging, or social media. The lack of these cues can create ambiguity and complicate how feedback is interpreted.The...

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...

Social Foundations of Self II: The Generalized Other

According to George Herbert Mead, as children progress beyond the game stage, they develop a more comprehensive understanding of societal rules and norms. This cognitive and social development enables them to internalize the expectations of the broader community, refining their ability to regulate behavior.Consistent participation in organized activities is crucial in helping children recognize that their actions are not isolated but contribute to a more significant, interconnected group...

Bullying

8.9K
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...

Impact of Social Context on Individuals01:21

Impact of Social Context on Individuals

423
Social psychology examines how the real or imagined presence of others influences individuals' thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. A key concept in this field is the role of social context in shaping behavior. The same individual may act differently depending on the social setting, due to the varying expectations and norms associated with each environment. This context-dependent behavior illustrates the influence of social roles, which prescribe appropriate conduct in specific situations.Social...

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Mental Health Research
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Rising rates of depression and anxiety in transition-aged youth (TAY).
  • Concurrent increase in social media (SM) usage among TAY.
  • Uncertainty regarding the specific effects of SM on TAY mental health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore social media perceptions of TAY with mental health disorders.
  • To understand how TAY navigate mental health challenges in the context of social media use.

Main Methods:

  • Interpretative phenomenological study.
  • Semi-structured interviews with 10 TAY participants.
  • Thematic analysis of coded interview data.

Main Results:

  • Five emergent themes: community seeking, negative influences, passive use, distancing for wellness, and internalized stigma.
  • TAY perceive SM as a source of community and entertainment.
  • TAY acknowledge SM's role in increasing anxiety and shame, yet believe benefits outweigh negatives.

Conclusions:

  • TAY perceive a duality in social media's impact, fostering community while increasing anxiety and shame.
  • Despite negative influences, TAY do not intend to decrease social media use.
  • Findings inform psychiatric-mental health nurses about stigma and potential impacts on care-seeking behaviors and societal development.
