Peer #1 - Atonya Brown Self-serving bias and locus control are similar because both have internal and external factors that will contribute to a person’s accomplishments or failures. The difference between the two is locus of control belief about whether the outcomes of our actions are contingent on what an individual does. The self-serving bias is define as a person attributing positive events to their own character but points the negative outcome towards external factors. One situation of selfserving bias that I can remember is when my family and I went on vacation and we went go cart racing. During our time at the race track, my son won the first three races and claimed to be the best driver in the family. Then the next time we went to the race track he lost the all the races to at least one of the family members, but instead of him claiming them the best drivers he went on to explain that it was the car he was driving and that the reason he lost the race. Instead of him owning up to he was not the best driver he chose to believe it was the car fault that he didn’t win the race. Self-presentation is defined as “strategies people use to shape what others think of them” (Kassin, Fein, & Markus, 2016 p.97). Self-presentation is definitely experience through social media. People look for ways to present themselves with the current fads whether its hair, clothes or shoes. Online is the most popular way to create a look to present to the public. Pinterest is one social media that helps individual put the current outfit together to achieve approval from others. I think this type of source helps those who don’t have the fashion sense that others may have. With the help of Pinterest, I think it allows them to feel confident about what they are wearing and feeling they will get approval from their peers when going out in public. Reference Fein, S., Kassin, S., & Markus, H.R., (2016), Social Psychology, Cengage Learning, Boston, Peer #2 - Aubran Jackson One of the factors that influences self-serving bias can be your locus of control which is the source of influence in your own life. So for individuals who have an internal locus of control, they have a tendency to make internal attributions regarding their success. You could say that I successfully accomplished this task because of my hard work (internal factors/attributions) because I control my own fate/destiny (internal locus). I think the MCAT tests them as almost combined topics so if you have success, it's likely because you have an internal locus of control. A self-serving bias could be seen as a tenancy for locus of control to shift for -/+ life events. Bad things happen and people tend to have a more external locus, good things happen and people tend to have a more internal locus. Internal/external locus of control should be a bit more stable than that, so I think the self-serving bias the tendency for people, regardless of their locus, to wiggle a bit writ where exactly their locus is in a way that is self-serving. Self-presentation is behavior that attempts to convey some information about oneself or some image of oneself to other people. It denotes a class of motivations in human behavior. These motivations are in part stable dispositions of individuals but they depend on situational factors to elicit them. Social media, an online arena for social behaviors such as self-presentation and social comparison, may have effects on users’ mood and mental health. Favorably presenting oneself is linked to positive outcomes such as higher self-esteem, whereas social comparison, in general and specifically upward social comparison to higher-performing others, is related to feelings of inadequacy, envy, and depression. Social comparison may explain the “Facebook depression effect,” acting as a mediator between time spent on social media and depressive symptoms. A correlational study is proposed that will ask 200 participants to report their time spent on various social media sites, selfpresentation of themselves and their “friends,” social comparison orientation, and depressive symptoms. Expected findings are that time spent on social media and the degree of others’ perceived selfpresentation will each be positively correlated with depression, and these relationships will be mediated by social comparison. This study will demonstrate that people feel depressed when they spend time on social media because they are frequently exposed to the self-enhancing images of others, which provides an opportunity for negative social comparison.
