The Role of the Self-Presence for Interactive Large Digital Displays: Gesture Interactivity and Mirrored-Self Image for Advertising Content

AbstractPeople are eager to know the self in other’s eyes even with personal costs. However, what drives people costly to know evaluations remains unknown. Here we tested the hypothesis of placing subjective value on knowing social evaluations. To quantify the subjective value, we developed a pay-to-know choice task where individuals trade off profits against knowing social evaluations. Individuals computed independent unknown aversion towards positive and negative social evaluations and placed higher values on knowing social evaluation on positive than negative aspects. Such a valence-dependent valuation of social evaluation was facilitated by oxytocin, a neuropeptide linked to feedback learning and valuation processes, by decreasing values of negative social evaluation. Moreover, individuals scoring high in depression undervalued positive social evaluation, which was normalized by oxytocin. We reveal the psychological and computational processes underlying self-image formation/update and suggest a role of oxytocin in normalizing hypo-valuation of positive social evaluation in depression.

Speak Up

I am concerned about the self-image of pediatricians. I am concerned that those physicians whose professional careers surround the consummate health and welfare of our children consider themselves to be leveled among their professional colleagues with the same perspective as their patient populations, that is, second-rate, less important, and less distinguished in their capabilities and professional objectives than the classic "adult" physicians, the internists and surgeons. The obstetrician-gynecologist shares some of the same perceptual problems, a mind-set of subliminal second-class professional citizenship, consistent with the still attenuated role of women, their professional clientele. Oh, there are exceptions! There are pediatricians who take charge of their professional practice groups, hospital staffs, national societal organizations, teaching hospitals, and medical schools.

Method Approach

The study of a person's opinion of their own body is the study of "body image." While the definition was not much complicated, the arguments around the "Body Image" have numerous folds, from weight and size to appearance and normality. There can be a long list of things that can affect a person's body image concept and make them feel good about themselves or even dread being in their bodies. The source can be anything from one’s peers to the brands advertising their products with the help of models and celebrities. In this research, we will focus on the advertisements impacting the self-body image. The advertisers take the help of models and celebrities to impact the minds of their viewers and nudge them to try their product. In today’s world, a consumer’s self-image is targeted by how an advertisement is made. The research used a mixed-method approach to imply the finding of the study. The study validated and established the identified and the proposed construct and implied that the advertisements impact the viewers to attain or aspire for the sure self-body image. However, for a brief period, the effect and impact it creates cannot be overruled entirely.

Les textes regroupés dans ce dossier explorent les modalités de l’ethos biographique. Il nous apparaît que l’œuvre biographique, caractérisée par la relation singulière qui s'établit entre le biographe et le biographé, offre un contexte particulier à la construction de l’ethos, puisque l'écriture s'y propose à la fois comme discours sur l'autre et énonciation de soi. Les diverses analyses proposées montrent que l’image de soi construite à travers un ensemble de signes à destination de l’interlocuteur donne accès à la singularité du locuteur dans sa fonction de biographe, mais révèle également d’autres aspects de l’identité de ce dernier, laissant place, entre autres, à l’émergence de la figure de l’écrivain.AbstractThe texts in this issue explore the modalities of the biographical ethos. They show that biographical writing, which is characterized by the peculiar relationship that is established between biographer and biographee, offers a context for constructing a specific ethos, since the writing offers both discourse on another person and self-enunciation. The various analyses demonstrate that the self-image constructed from the set of signs aimed at the interlocutor reveal the locutor's singularity in his role of biographer, but also reveal other aspects of his identity, and allow, among other things, the emergence of the writer's image.

AbstractPeople are eager to know and recast the self in the eyes of others, even at a personal cost. However, it remains unknown what drives people to pursue costly evaluations of the self. Here, we propose that the evaluation of the self is valuable and that such subjective value placed on evaluation drives the costly-to-know behavior. By measuring the amount of money that individuals would forgo for the opportunity to know evaluations from other people (social evaluation) or a computer program (non-social evaluation), we quantified the subjective value individuals assigned to the evaluation on the self. The results from 5 studies (n = 375) lent cognitive and computational support for this hypothesis. Furthermore, the subjective value was modulated by the source and valence of the evaluation. Participants equally valued positive and negative non-social evaluations, characterized by a shared unknown aversion computation. However, individuals computed independent unknown aversion towards positive and negative social evaluations and placed a higher value on the opportunity to know another person’s evaluation on positive than negative aspects. Such a valence-dependent valuation of the social evaluation was facilitated by oxytocin, a neuropeptide linked to linked to social feedback learning and valuation processes, which decreased the value ascribed to negative social evaluation. Taken together, the current study reveals the psychological and computational processes underlying self-image formation and updating and suggests a role of oxytocin in modulating the value of social evaluation.

Self concept has been a very important concept in consumer behavior and it gives the central idea to the Marketing people in the market place, Academician and business student to understand the bases to evaluate the self concept. The extensive previous research work gave very important conceptual answer to implement new marketing strategy. A different class of customer can be shot in the marketplace. These are the customers who buy product while evaluating the product self-image, product/brand image and their congruity and then they set their minds to buy the products in the market. The purpose of the research is to explore the self concept dimensions to examine the self congruity relationship with brand preference. Relationships between constructs (actual self congruity, ideal self congruity and brand preference) were hypothesized and data were collected through survey Method. The perceptions of 400 respondents about their self congruity with brand preference were obtained for two types of product usage (‘Mobile phone’ as conspicuous and ‘Bathing soaps’ as inconspicuous) with Seven brands in each type. The moderating role of ‘type of product usage (Conspicuous and inconspicuous)’ was examined in the relationship between actual/ideal self congruity and brand preference.

"The mythical image of Narcissus has served to explore, both in art and in psychoanalysis, topics such as reflection, selfishness, contemplation and autoeroticism. Gaston Bachelard had a thorough reading of this mythological being, which we propose to reflect upon with a view to exploring the question of “self-image”. Our objective will be to clarify the notion of “cosmic narcissism” that Bachelard suggests, to analyze the “self” that emerges in the aesthetic experience. Through the image of Narcissus, Bachelard highlights the active role of Nature in shaping the artist’s self-image. He proposes a “cosmic narcissism” as an “idealizing” path of the self, which we will contrast with the “neurotic narcissism” suggested by Freud."
