Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

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...

Source: Michael G. Benton and Kerry M. Dooley, Department of Chemical Engineering, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA Heat exchangers transfer heat from one fluid to another fluid. Multiple classes of heat exchangers exist to fill different needs. Some of the most common types are shell and tube exchangers and plate exchangers1. Shell and tube heat exchangers use a system of tubes through which fluid flows1. One set of tubes contains the liquid to be cooled or heated, while the second...

Strategies of Self-Presentation II: Self-Verification

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...

A technique for laboratory estimation of net trophic transfer efficiency of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners to piscivorous fish from their prey is presented. To maximize applicability of the laboratory results to the field, the piscivorous fish should be fed prey fish that are typically eaten in the field.
FAQs
Material remaining in the separation gel after the transfer step indicates that some target protein did not reach the collection membrane. Post-transfer staining makes this residual material visible and allows comparison with transferred bands. This comparison helps identify incomplete movement before weak or missing detection signals are attributed to antibody binding or sample preparation.
Uneven transfer can produce band intensities that vary because proteins moved to the membrane inconsistently, rather than because their abundance differed in the samples. Detecting this pattern provides an essential quality-control check. It helps researchers separate technical variation in the transfer step from genuine differences in protein expression or modification.
During electrophoretic transfer, the electric field drives proteins out of the polyacrylamide gel and toward the membrane. Verification does not measure the field directly; it evaluates its result by examining transferred bands and material left behind. If movement is incomplete or inconsistent, later detection results require cautious interpretation.
After proteins have been transferred from the gel to the membrane, the gel or transferred material is stained so protein distribution can be examined. Researchers then compare residual bands in the gel with bands on the membrane, looking for evidence of incomplete or uneven movement. The result guides interpretation of the subsequent biological assay.
Researchers should perform this check after the transfer step and before relying on antibody-based detection to interpret protein abundance or other biological differences. It is especially useful when bands appear weak, absent, or inconsistent, because the assessment can show whether the problem arose during transfer rather than from antibody binding or sample preparation.
Reliable transfer assessment strengthens the interpretation of qualitative or quantitative protein measurements. By confirming that target material reached the membrane comparably, researchers can evaluate signals related to protein expression, modifications, or localization with greater confidence. The check also improves reproducibility by identifying transfer-related variation before it is incorporated into biological conclusions.
