What implications does the pressure of presenting an ideal self on social media have in terms of how people use introspection, self-observation, and other people’s reactions to know themselves?

 People come to know themselves in large part by observing others’ reactions to them when engaged in face-to-face social interaction. The popularity of and reliance on social media (e.g., Facebook) for social connection interferes with the self-knowledge process. This interference is compounded, further, by the tendency for people to pose as who they wish to be but are not (Wright, White, & Obst, 2018). Others’ reactions to them as a source of self-knowledge is based, then, on an idealized presentation, and social feedback on this idealized presentation can have little self-knowledge value.

What implications does the pressure of presenting an ideal self on social media have in terms of how people use introspection, self-observation, and other people’s reactions to know themselves?
If relying on social media for social connection fails to provide useful information for developing an authentic self, then how confident might a person be when meeting new people face-to-face?
What information about how others perceive you might you need but do not get when relying on social media for social connection?
Your arguments and conclusions must be supported by social psychology theory and research.

Describe the circumstances surrounding the difficult work-related decision you had to make. In your description, include details about the options you were weighing, why the decision was difficult, et cetera.

Managers make numerous decisions on a daily basis. For some, the best choice is easy or straightforward to determine. If a machine breaks down, you either need to repair it or replace it. In an increasingly interconnected and complex world, however, the best decisions can often be unclear. Consider where you would stand on the following scenario:
A company has developed a new product for which there is a great demand. The consensus of the leadership team is that the company should capitalize on this opportunity and hike up the price to generate a 300% return on each sale. They feel that, as long as the marketplace is willing to pay for it, then there is no problem, especially since this would help solve recent discussions of layoffs due to declining sales. Only one person in the leadership team voices disapproval of this approach, saying that this is a greedy action that would rip off customers and go against the company’s values. The person feels that—despite what it would mean for the business—the product should be priced to generate a 40% return, which is an average return for the company’s products.

In this Discussion, you will examine a tough decision you have had to make in the past. You will reflect on the factors you used to make that decision and determine whether you would make the same choice if faced with the same set of circumstances again.

To prepare for this Discussion:
Identify a time you had to make a tough decision related to work. This should be a time when the right course of action was not immediately apparent or clear-cut. There may have been differing points of view, each with some validity, or perhaps there were some special circumstances in the situation that made the correct and ethical choice less obvious.
Consider the values, guidelines, and rules that you used to make that decision.
BY DAY 3
Post a synthesis of a difficult work-related decision you had to make, including how you might approach the situation in the future. Specifically:
Describe the circumstances surrounding the difficult work-related decision you had to make. In your description, include details about the options you were weighing, why the decision was difficult, et cetera.
Explain the guidelines, rules, and values you used to make the decision.

Using the Learning Resources for support, explain how you would approach the situation if it happened again. Would you handle it differently or take a similar action, and why?

From a biological perspective, a child’s temperament is impacted strongly from genetics. With that being said, as a child grows their temperament can be affected by outside influences such as their parents and different social environments. I have a personal example for how my child’s temperament has changed over the past couple years. As an infant she was very calm and able to stay relaxed in any enviroment and around any group of people. As she got older she was very easy to feed and would try just about anything that we gave her. She enjoyed when she had to take medicine and doctor’s appoinments were also very easy, even when she had to get her shots she took it well and hardly cried. Around 18 months she got a high fever for the first time. Her dad and I took her to the hospital and, long story short, she had a bad experience. It was after this experience that she became difficult when trying anything new. She became even more clingy and for a while, we couldn’t even take her to the store without her freaking out. 
My daughter is now about 2 and a half years old and is just starting to warm back up to people outside of me, her dad, her grandma, and her grandpa. For the most part she is very silly and very sweet. I’m noticing that she is very caring when she notices that someone may be sad. She still doesn’t really try anything new when it comes to food and she still hates medicine and doctors. She can also be very irritable and angry when she doesn’t get the things she wants, which I know is just normal kid stuff. How this affects me as a parent can be very negative. I’m realizing that I get angry with her very easily when I don’t understand her frustration or why she is the way she is sometimes. When she is good, I am happy, but when she is bad, I have a hard time not getting upset when I don’t know how to make her happy. 
The text says that a parent may place inordinate pressure on a child to be different than they are. “If parents recognize that their child has a temperament of his or her own that may be very different from their own temperaments, they can make adjustments in their own behavior and expectations to help that child along.”(Zastrow, C., Kirst-Ashman, K.K. & Hessenauer, S.L., 2019) For example, I need to remember that my daughter is only 2 years old and that her behaviors are normal. Rather than get upset, I have to be understanding of that fact and I have to adjust my own way of dealing with her.

According to McCrae et al., “Temperaments are often regarded as biologically based psychological tendencies with intrinsic paths of development” (2000). Biological factors contribute to a child’s temperament in terms of heredity, their personality is literally determined (at least partially) by their genetic makeup. Psychological factors that contribute to a child’s temperament come from experiences. Those experiences involve factors like attention or a lack of attention, positive or negative feedback, fear-based lessons, or encouragement to explore, and being attended to when they cry or being left on their own  (Rothbart et al., 2000). Social perspectives contribute to a child’s temperament in a positive way if they experience healthy relationships, as it helps them develop cooperation and self-esteem (Johnson, 1975). If their social perspective is formed in a negative way it can cause them to be more “egocentric and delayed in their social perspective-taking development”, they may also suffer from lower self-esteem than children who developed positive social perspectives (Burack et al., 2006). 
Caregivers play a huge role in how they impact their child’s temperament as it is not biology alone that shapes a child’s personality. Caregiviers model behavior and influence their child’s temperament by how they act and react as an individual, and by how they interact and react to others including their child.  The emotions of the child impact the role their caregiver plays in parenting in many ways. If the child is considered hard or difficult and acts out in socially unacceptable ways the parent may react negatively. They may feel overwhelmed, or just simply not want to deal with them. What do you think the effects could be on a child’s personality of a parent checking out or ignoring the behaviors and not intervening?

On a different topic, the field of addiction studies is becoming more and more scientifically based. In the past, some practitioners relied on their own personal experience or that of their clients to guide them in their assessment and treatment efforts. Now practitioners are being asked to use DSM 5 criteria for diagnosis as well as evidence-based practices–those that have been proven by research to be effective. To not use evidence-based practices opens one up to malpractice charges, disciplinary proceedings at the workplace or by a licensing board, funding cuts and most importantly–compromising client care. The text cites research about effective treatment approaches with various substances of abuse. How will you proceed with the treatment recommendations you make as part of your assessment if research suggests an approach that conflicts with your personal experience or viewpoints?
