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-Report Tests of Personality

Self-Report Tests of Personality

Self-report inventories are objective personality assessments that use multiple-choice items or numbered scales, typically ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). They are often called Likert scales after Rensis Likert. These inventories are widely used due to their ease of administration and cost-effectiveness. One of the most prominent examples is the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), initially developed in the 1940s to assess abnormal personality traits.

Classification of Illness

The meaning of illness is individualized to each person who experiences an alteration in health. In contrast, disease is a medical term indicating a pathological change in the structure and function of the body or mind. It is a condition that has specific symptoms and boundaries.
An illness is a response to a disease in which the person's level of functioning is changed compared with a previous level. The general classification of illness includes acute and chronic.
Acute illness is severe...

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model

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...

Modeling in Therapy

Modeling in Therapy

Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.
Participant Modeling
Participant modeling involves therapists demonstrating calm and effective behaviors in...

Drug Dependence

Drug Dependence

Medications are typically administered to achieve therapeutic effects. Some drugs can modify an individual's mood and perception, frequently resulting in various enjoyable experiences. However, this can result in drug dependency, a condition marked by continuous drug use despite potential negative consequences. Drug dependency primarily falls into two categories: psychological and physical dependence. Psychological dependence occurs when the pleasurable feelings induced by the drug...

Area of Science:

Addiction research
Psychometric validation
Recovery science

Background:

Effective addiction recovery services require understanding personal recovery aspects.
No validated Spanish measures reflect service users' recovery priorities.
The CHIME framework informed the development of a new recovery instrument.

Purpose of the Study:

To design and validate the Personal Recovery Importance Scale (PRIS) in Spain.
To create an expanded CHIME-based instrument adapted for addiction contexts.
To establish a reliable measure of personal recovery importance for service users.

Main Methods:

A four-phase mixed-methods approach involving 13 experts and 1,604 individuals in recovery.
Item development, content validity, response process, and psychometric property assessment.
Iterative refinement based on expert feedback and cognitive interviews.

Main Results:

A seven-factor model (Connectedness, Hope, Identity, Meaning in life, Empowerment, Difficulties, and Practical support-CHIME-DP) demonstrated robust psychometric properties.
The PRIS showed strong fit indices, internal consistency, and validity across recovery stages.
The scale exhibited invariance across different stages of recovery.

Conclusions:

The PRIS is confirmed as a valid and reliable instrument for assessing personal recovery importance in addiction.
This tool can guide the prioritization and design of addiction interventions.
The PRIS is a foundational step towards developing Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) and Patient-Reported Experience Measures (PREMs) in Spain.
