Study Notes
The Self and Self-Awareness
- Mirror Recognition Test: A measure of self-recognition that can highlight self-awareness issues in individuals.
- Somatoparaphrenia: A delusional belief where an individual perceives a paralyzed limb as not belonging to their body; typically affects recognition of the body's left side.
- Self-Awareness Theory: Proposes that self-reflection leads individuals to evaluate behaviors against personal standards, influencing emotional response and subsequent actions.
- Types of Self-Awareness:
- Subjective Self-Awareness: Focus on external environment, less self-reflective.
- Objective Self-Awareness: Heightened self-awareness, considering how others perceive oneself.
Self-Concept and Perception
- Self-Concept: A collection of beliefs about one's personal attributes; matures from concrete in children to psychological complexity in adults.
- Independent vs. Interdependent Views:
- Independent: Self-defined through personal thoughts and feelings.
- Interdependent: Self-understanding based on relationships and others' perceptions.
- Self-Perception Theory: Individuals determine feelings through observation of their behavior and situational context, especially when feelings are unclear.
Motivation and Rewards
- Schachter-Singer Two Factor Theory: Emotion arises from physiological arousal followed by cognitive interpretation of that arousal.
- Overjustification Effect: External incentives may diminish intrinsic motivation for enjoyable tasks.
- Types of Rewards:
- Task-Contingent Rewards: Given irrespective of performance quality.
- Performance-Contingent Rewards: Based on the quality of task execution.
Social Influence and Self-Assessment
- Social Comparison Theory: Individuals assess their own abilities and attitudes by comparing with others.
- Social Tuning: Adopting attitudes of others, often unconsciously, based on social interactions.
- Looking Glass Self: Self-perception influenced by how others view us.

- Self-Handicapping: Creating obstacles or excuses to deflect blame for poor performance.
Social Perception

- Self-Serving Attributions: Tendency to credit personal success to internal factors and failures to external factors.
Cognitive Dissonance and Justification

- Justification of Effort: Increased liking for outcomes from significant effort; negative experiences get rationalized.
Scientific Integrity and the Replicability Crisis
- HARKing: Presenting data-driven hypotheses as if they had been predicted; undermines credibility in research.
