Study Notes

Digital Self

Digital self refers to the online presentation of oneself.
The social self influences how individuals see themselves in relation to others.
Selective self-presentation is the intentional crafting of one's online persona.
Impression management involves strategies to control perceptions, like self-promotion, ingratiation, and exemplification.
Impression management strategies aim to gain rewards (instrumental motive) or maintain personal identity (expressive motive).
Digiphrenia involves stress from maintaining multiple online identities.
Private self encompasses internal thoughts and feelings, while the public self involves online behaviors.

Emotional Self

Emotions are brief, intense feelings with physiological and mental components.
Physiological arousal includes bodily responses (e.g., heart rate).
Subjective feelings are the personal experience of an emotion.
Cognitive processes involve interpreting and labeling emotions.
Behavioral reactions comprise observable responses, like facial expressions.
Emotions are linked to needs, impacting thinking, and triggering physical responses.
Basic emotions (Goleman): fear, anger, sadness, enjoyment, love, disgust, surprise, shame.
Emotion theories:
- James-Lange: Emotions arise from physical sensations.
- Cannon-Bard: Emotions and bodily reactions occur simultaneously.
- Schachter-Singer: Emotions result from arousal and cognitive labeling.
Plutchik's Wheel of Emotions organizes eight primary emotions into opposing pairs.

Neuroscience of Emotions

The limbic system regulates emotions, encompassing the amygdala, hippocampus, thalamus, hypothalamus, cingulate cortex, insular cortex and fornix.
Amygdala processes fear and pleasure.
Hippocampus connects memory and emotions.
Thalamus relays sensory and emotional data.
Hypothalamus manages physiological responses.
Cingulate cortex resolves emotional conflicts.
Insular cortex interprets emotional cues.
Fornix connects emotional and cognitive processes.

The Brain and Learning

Major external brain parts: frontal, temporal, parietal, occipital lobes.
Frontal lobes: planning, thinking, problem-solving, personality.
Temporal lobes: sound and visual recognition, long-term memory.
Parietal lobes: sensory processing, spatial orientation.
Occipital lobes: visual information processing.
Major internal brain parts: brainstem, limbic system, thalamus, hypothalamus, hippocampus, amygdala, cerebrum, cerebellum.
Brain cells: neurons (basic unit), glial cells (support neurons).
Information Processing Model: Sequential stages from input to long-term memory via sensory register, immediate, and working memory.
Brain hemispheres: left (logic, language), right (creativity, spatial).

Metacognition and Study Strategies

Metacognition: thinking about thinking.
Metacognitive components: declarative (what to do), procedural (how to do), conditional (when/why to use).
Metacognitive strategies: self-assessment, think-aloud, concept maps, muddiest point.

Self-Regulated Learning

Self-regulated learning entails managing learning goals, strategies, and reflection.
Phases include forethought (planning), performance (execution), and reflection (evaluating).
Characteristics include self-awareness, strategic thinking, and self-attribution.

Self-Concept

Self-concept involves beliefs and perceptions about oneself comprising the ideal self (aspirations), self-image (current state), and self-esteem (value).

Growth Mindset

Growth mindset emphasizes ability improvement through effort and learning.
Fixed mindset believes abilities are static.

Stress and Coping

Stress is a response to challenges.
Types of stress include eustress, neustress, and distress.
Stress reactions involve recognition, appraisal, mobilization, response, and return stages.
Coping strategies are problem-focused, emotion-focused, or cognitive.

Filipino Traits and Stress

Filipino traits include unity, collaborative spirit, and ningas cogon (initially enthusiastic but lack sustained effort).

Self-Care and Compassion

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs outlines a hierarchy of needs (physiological, safety, love/belonging, esteem, self-actualization).
Self-compassion entails treating oneself kindly, encompassing self-kindness, mindfulness, and common humanity.
