Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

2020
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...

Strategies of Self-Presentation II: Self-Verification
0 Views •
2025
Self-verification is a fundamental psychological drive wherein individuals seek affirmation of their self-concept from others, striving for consistency between their internal self-view and external perceptions. This drive operates even when the self-concept is negative, influencing interpersonal behavior and feedback preferences in complex and often counterintuitive ways. Unlike the self-enhancement motive, which seeks positive evaluations, self-verification prioritizes coherence and...

We describe a new ultrasound-based vector tissue Doppler imaging technique to measure muscle contraction velocity, strain and strain rate with sub-millisecond temporal resolution during dynamic activities. This approach provides complementary measurements of dynamic muscle function and could lead to a better understanding of mechanisms underlying musculoskeletal disorders.

Using Point of Care Ultrasound to Augment Acquisition of Physical Exam Skills: Organs

Source: Joseph H. Donroe, Rachel Liu; Yale School of Medicine, USA Point of care ultrasound (POCUS) is used by clinicians for diagnosis, ongoing monitoring, and/or procedural guidance at the time of patient care. Many medical schools are now teaching POCUS as a part of their basic clinical skills training, in addition to history, physical exams, and clinical reasoning. Besides being an independent skill, POCUS is also an incredibly useful tool for augmenting the teaching and learning of the...
FAQs
Tissue boundaries reflect high-frequency sound waves differently, producing returning echoes that form the ultrasound image. Verification examines whether those echo patterns correspond to the expected anatomy and clinical finding rather than relying on an isolated visual impression. This comparison helps identify an apparent structure that may result from an incorrect view, limited image quality, or another scanning-related error.
Probe position, scanning plane, image quality, and measurement consistency directly influence whether an ultrasound observation can be trusted. A small change in probe placement or viewing plane may alter the appearance of anatomy, while inconsistent measurements can weaken comparison between examinations. Checking these factors systematically helps distinguish a genuine anatomical finding from a technical or reproducibility problem.
Repeat views test whether a finding remains visible when the anatomy is examined again or from a different perspective. Comparing the observation with expected anatomy and, when needed, complementary evidence provides an additional check on interpretation. This approach is especially useful when image quality is limited, the first view is uncertain, or the finding does not clearly match the anticipated anatomy.
A practical workflow begins by examining the image or measurement, assessing image quality, and confirming that the probe position and scanning plane are appropriate. The observer then compares the result with expected anatomy and checks measurement consistency. If uncertainty remains, repeat views or complementary evidence can be considered before the observation supports a diagnosis, procedure, or clinical decision.
Verification strengthens clinical use by checking that the displayed anatomy and measured finding are consistent with what should be present. In diagnosis, this can support more reliable interpretation. During procedures, confirming the relevant anatomy and image quality helps ensure that ultrasound observations provide an appropriate basis for clinical action rather than depending on an unverified image.
Standardized verification practices make observations and measurements more reproducible across learners, studies, and quality checks. Training can use comparisons with expected anatomy, repeat views, and consistent measurements to reinforce accurate scanning. In research and quality assurance, the same principles help identify technical variation, document reliability, and evaluate whether ultrasound findings remain dependable across examinations.
