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.

Negative and Cognitive Symptoms of Schizophrenia

Negative and Cognitive Symptoms of Schizophrenia

Negative symptoms of schizophrenia indicate a reduction or absence of typical behaviors and emotional responses found in healthy individuals, while positive symptoms reflect an excess or distortion of normal functioning.
Negative Symptoms
Negative symptoms of schizophrenia manifest as deficits in normal emotional and behavioral functioning, profoundly impacting daily life. Individuals with schizophrenia often display a flat affect, characterized by a near-total absence of emotional expression,...

The Influence of Cognition on Affect

The Influence of Cognition on Affect

Cognition plays a pivotal role in shaping emotional experiences, as demonstrated by Schachter and Singer’s two-factor theory of emotion. According to this model, emotion arises from a combination of physiological arousal and cognitive interpretation. The body’s physiological response to stimuli is ambiguous and only gains emotional significance through cognitive labeling. For instance, an increased heart rate and adrenaline surge while standing near an attractive person may be interpreted as...

Information Processing Approach

Information Processing Approach

The information-processing theory of cognitive development centers on fundamental mental processes, including attention, memory, and problem-solving skills. Researchers in this field examine how cognitive abilities, such as working memory, evolve and influence children's overall development. Studies indicate that children with stronger working memory tend to excel in reading comprehension, math, and problem-solving compared to peers with less efficient memory skills. Low working memory is also...

Language and Cognition

Language and Cognition

Language serves as a bridge between ideas and communication, influencing how individuals perceive and interact with the world. Psychologists have long debated whether language shapes thought or vice versa. This discussion gained grip with Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf in the 1940s, who proposed that language determines thought, a concept known as linguistic determinism. They suggested that the vocabulary and structure of a language influence how its speakers think and perceive reality.

Working Memory

Working Memory

Working memory refers to a combination of components, including short-term memory and attention, that allow an individual to hold information temporarily as we perform cognitive tasks. It is an essential cognitive function that enables the execution of complex tasks such as problem-solving, comprehension, and reasoning. Unlike short-term memory, which simply involves the storage of information for a brief period, working memory involves the active manipulation and processing of this information.

Area of Science:

Organizational Psychology
Cognitive Science
Occupational Health

Background:

Dysfunctional cognition (DC) lacks a unified model in organizational settings.
Understanding cognitive vulnerabilities' impact on work outcomes is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

To synthesize research on DC in organizations.
To develop an integrative model of DC at work.
To identify mechanisms and moderators of DC's impact.

Main Methods:

Systematic literature review following PRISMA guidelines.
Analysis of 41 selected manuscripts.
Integration of findings into a theoretical model.

Main Results:

Developed an integrative model of DC at work.
Identified job demands as activators and resources as buffers.
Specified maladaptive appraisal as the core mechanism linking DC to work outcomes.
Highlighted impacts on well-being, stress, burnout, performance, and decision quality.

Conclusions:

Emphasized appraisal as the cognitive-affective mechanism linking DC to work (dis)engagement.
Embedded DC within the Job Demands-Resources model.
Differentiated task and interpersonal (dis)engagement pathways.
Proposed a foundation for future research and schema-informed interventions.
