Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model01:29

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...

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...
Quality Assurance01:19

Quality Assurance

Quality assurance is the overarching term used to describe the activities employed to ensure the proper performance of a system. These activities can be classified into three categories: quality control, quality assessment, and internal corrective measures. Typically, these activities work cyclically: quality control is performed before and during the analysis, while quality assessment occurs during and after the investigation. Internal corrective measures are implemented based on the findings...
Self-Regulation01:25

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...

Impression Management Techniques III: Aligning Actions

Aligning actions are communicative strategies individuals employ to maintain social harmony and preserve personal identity in the face of potential disruptions to social norms. These actions are particularly important in managing social impressions when one's behavior might be seen as inappropriate, incompetent, or morally questionable.Types of Aligning ActionsThe three principal types of aligning actions are disclaimers, accounts, and apologies.DisclaimersDisclaimers are preventive; they are...
Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping02:05

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 the way you...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Health Informatics
  • Program Evaluation

Background:

  • Physician assistant/associate programs require robust self-assessment processes for accreditation.
  • Developing effective self-assessment is challenging due to time, data volume, and resource constraints.
  • Business intelligence (BI) software presents a potential solution to enhance these processes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate faculty and staff experiences with BI technology in program self-assessment.
  • To assess the impact of BI tools on data management, usability, stress, and satisfaction.

Main Methods:

  • A mixed-methods survey was administered to faculty and staff.
  • The survey collected quantitative and qualitative data on perceptions of BI tool usage.
  • Key areas assessed included data management, usability, task management, stress, and satisfaction.

Main Results:

  • Faculty and staff reported overall positive perceptions of BI tools.
  • Favorable narratives highlighted improved self-assessment experiences.
  • Respondents recommended BI tools and provided insights for successful implementation.

Conclusions:

  • BI technology may positively influence faculty and staff experiences in programmatic self-assessment.
  • The study suggests BI tools can alleviate challenges associated with self-assessment.
  • Further research is necessary to confirm these findings and explore generalizability.
