Olika utgångsläge: Effekt på Upplevd och Faktiskt Prestation
(2024) PSYK11 20241Department of Psychology
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Teorier inom områdena självperception och självuppfyllande profetior har föreslagit att människors självbild och beteende kan påverkas av externa stimuli och tidigare erfarenheter. Dessa teorier betonar också vikten av att förstå samspelet mellan individens föreställningar och deras beteende i olika kontexter. Syftet med studien är att undersöka om upplevelsen av prestation och faktiskt prestation kan påverkas av en föregående uppgift, beroende på om denna uppgift uppfattades som antingen utmanande eller lätt. För att undersöka detta genomfördes en pilotstudie där 20 deltagare utsattes för ett minnestest med två olika svårighetsgrader som förberedande tillstånd. Därefter genomförde deltagarna ett kognitivt problemlösningstest och bedömde... (More)

För att undersöka detta genomfördes en pilotstudie där 20 deltagare utsattes för ett minnestest med två olika svårighetsgrader som förberedande tillstånd. Därefter genomförde deltagarna ett kognitivt problemlösningstest och bedömde sin upplevda prestation i samband med utförandet av testet. Hypotesen var att det skulle finnas en signifikant skillnad i upplevd och faktisk prestation beroende på om deltagarna hade fått utföra en lätt eller svår uppgift i det föregående testet. Resultatet visade att oavsett tillstånd fanns ingen signifikant effekt på förberedande tillstånd i hur deltagarna bedömde sin upplevda prestation. Ytterligare fanns det ingen signifikant korrelation mellan förberedande tillstånd och deltagarnas prestation i det kognitiva problemlösningstestet. I ljuset av dessa resultat kan vi dra slutsatsen att, trots teoriernas förutsägelser om sambandet självuppfyllande profetior, självperception och beteende, fanns det ingen direkt påverkan hur deltagarna upplevde sin prestation eller deras faktiska prestation i det kognitiva problemlösningstestet.

- Abstract
- Theories in the fields of self-perception and self-fulfilling prophecies have suggested that people's self-image and behavior can be influenced by external stimuli and previous experiences. These theories also emphasize the importance of understanding the interplay between an individual's beliefs and their behavior in various contexts. The purpose of the study is to investigate whether the experience of performance and actual performance can be influenced by a preceding task, depending on whether this task was perceived as either challenging or easy. To investigate this, a pilot study was conducted in which 20 participants were subjected to a memory test with two different difficulty levels as preparatory conditions. Afterwards, the... (More)

The purpose of the study is to investigate whether the experience of performance and actual performance can be influenced by a preceding task, depending on whether this task was perceived as either challenging or easy. To investigate this, a pilot study was conducted in which 20 participants were subjected to a memory test with two different difficulty levels as preparatory conditions. Afterwards, the participants performed a cognitive problem-solving test and assessed their perceived performance in connection with the execution of the test. The hypothesis was that there would be a significant difference in perceived and actual performance depending on whether the participants had performed an easy or difficult task in the preceding test. The results showed that regardless of condition, there was no significant effect of the preparatory condition on how participants assessed their perceived performance. Furthermore, there was no significant correlation between the preparatory condition and the participants' performance on the cognitive problem-solving test. In light of these results, we can conclude that, despite the theories' predictions about the relationship between self-fulfilling prophecies, self-perception, and behavior, there was no direct impact on how the participants perceived their performance or their actual performance in the cognitive problem-solving test.
