SOP 3004 Exam 2
motives associated with self-presentation - appearing liable, appearing competent, appearing like
you have power/status
qualities of a self-monitor - can perceive others' emotions well, can mimic emotions and
behaviors, are more comfortable acting inconsistently with their own attitudes, often rise to leadership
positions
cutting off reflected failure (CORFing) - distancing self from those who make us look bad by
association
ex: not as vocal about being FSU student after a loss
basking in reflected glory (BIRGing) - drawing closer to those who make us look good by
association
ex: more likely to identify with FSU after a win
executive self - making decisions, switching between tasks, and exercising (limited) self control
self-concept - schema of ourselves; formed by getting info from introspection, feedback, and
social comparison
introspection - one's own thoughts and feelings; "privileged access"; can be inaccurate
(car/attractive model and socks studies)
feedback from others - can change one's self concept; people don't always provide accurate
feedback; aren't always accepting of negative feedback
social comparison - using other's behaviors as a basis for judging oneself
upward social comparison - who's better than you? (identify similarities)
, can aid motivation, doesn't always feel good
downward social comparison - who's worse than you? (identify how you're better)
reduces motivation but feels good
appraisal - desire for accurate info; reduces uncertainty and helps people achieve goals
consistency - desire to get feedback that conforms to one's self-concept; protects from change
self-enhancement - desire to establish and maintain a positive view of self
self-esteem - one's overall feeling of self-worth
sociometer theory - self-esteem acts as a gauge of perceived belongingness; emphasis on
relational not individual value
advantages of thinking positively towards yourself - - feel that we are effective
- gauge how we're doing in our social lives
- determine how successfully we meet society's living standards
- may be healthier
self-serving bias - attribute our accomplishments to ourselves, attribute our failures to the
situation
self-handicapping - actions people take to handicap their own performance in order to build an
excuse for anticipated failure
