“…Now, not many systematic accounts of the cognitive mechanisms involved in self-deception have been proposed. The empirical studies generally focus on just one aspect of self-deception: vagueness of the evidence (e.g., Sloman, Fernbach, & Hagmayer, 2010), selective attention and impaired categorization of anomaly (Peterson, Driver-Linn, & Deyoung, 2002;Peterson et al, 2003), optimism bias and self-assessment (Baxter & Norman, 2011;Lopez & Fuxjager, 2012;Chance, Norton, Gino, & Ariely, 2011) or social desirability tested by Impression Management or Self-Deceptive Enhancement scores in personality traits questionnaires (Ashley & Holtgraves, 2003;Norem, 2002;Uziel, 2013). Yet, few systematic pictures of self-deception integrating the existing findings have been proposed in the empirical literature.…”

a b s t r a c tIn the philosophical literature, self-deception is mainly approached through the analysis of paradoxes. Yet, it is agreed that self-deception is motivated by protection from distress. In this paper, we argue, with the help of findings from cognitive neuroscience and psychology, that self-deception is a type of affective coping.First, we criticize the main solutions to the paradoxes of self-deception. We then present a new approach to self-deception. Self-deception, we argue, involves three appraisals of the distressing evidence: (a) appraisal of the strength of evidence as uncertain, (b) low coping potential and (c) negative anticipation along the lines of Damasio's somatic marker hypothesis. At the same time, desire impacts the treatment of flattering evidence via dopamine. Our main proposal is that self-deception involves emotional mechanisms provoking a preference for immediate reward despite possible long-term negative repercussions. In the last part, we use this emotional model to revisit the philosophical paradoxes.Published by Elsevier Inc.

“…This is a result contrary to the few research reports that found it difficult for students to learn how to treat patients from the simulation training as the simulation device only reminded them of a dummy and did not make the students treat it carefully like they normally would with actual patients [31]. Consequently, it is suggested that the effect on the sense of responsibility towards patients after practical training with standardized patients, instead of simulation-based learning, be verified through repeated study.…”

“…Self-assessment has been shown to be ineffective at determining students' clinical abilities. [39][40][41][42] Improved confidence in MT has the potential to increase self-efficacy. Self-efficacy may be defined as "how a person performs in a situation because of their belief in their capability given their knowledge and skill.…”

Objectives: We sought to find if there was a relationship between the confidence in use of static palpation, passive physiological intervertebral motion (PPIVM) and passive accessory intervertebral motion (PAIVM) and the manual therapist's (MTs) knowledge of the literature on these topics. Methods: We designed an international survey to achieve our objectives. Each skill was surveyed for the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spines. We also included several other factors that we believed might influence the use of these skills. Results: We concluded that familiarity of the literature was significantly associated with a MTs' confidence in the use of static palpation, PPIVM and PAIVM techniques. We also found a relationship with the country of practice of the MT and their confidence using these techniques. Discussion: Spinal palpation is an integral part of the MT's evaluation and treatment abilities. The vast majority of MTs use spinal palpation and nearly all entry-level education programmes include it in their training. Knowing what factors influence MTs' confidence assessing and treating the spine may allow for more effective teaching and training, as well as improved patient outcomes.

Self-assessment or self deception? A lack of association between nursing students’ self-assessment and performance

Abstract: Self-assessment in nursing education to evaluate clinical competence and confidence requires serious reconsideration as our well-intentioned emphasis on this commonly used practice may be less than effective.
