The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effects of a video playback of a person on his self-concept. Ss in teams of 3 were randomly assigned to a video playback condition (VP) or a no video playback condition (NVP). Each team had both VP and NVP Ss. All Ss taught a 7-min. lesson which was video recorded. The VP Ss saw a video playback of their presentation, and both VP and NVP Ss completed measures of Body-cathexis, Self-cathexis, Self-concept, Public-self, Teacher-self, Self-acceptance, Self-criticality, Dominance and Self-assurance, and Flexibility. It was hypothesized that there would be a significant difference between the VP and NVP Ss on each of the self-concept variables measured. Although no significant differences were found, the direction of difference was significantly consistent. Following a video playback Ss tended to perceive themselves more favorably.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
