Résumé :

Many current media images of women have underlying messages that affect our psyche in a negative way, whether or not we are aware. These images convey an unrealistic, distorted view of ideals and perfection, which create an unattainable model to live up to. As women, we should be cherishing our uniqueness, but, rather than celebrating and accepting ourselves, we are taught to judge and conceal. This project seeks to address inner beauty as a reflection of our energy, vitality, wisdom and the mental, as well as emotional, engagement in our lives. The terms perfection and imperfection will be redefined and applied to inward rather than outward appearance. Through a photographic study, this project will emphasize the value and beauty in aging. In the end, I would like to encourage my audience to not only recognize but also understand and accept the difference between media images and their own self-images.

Résumé :

The situational self-image, which recognizes the affect of situational influences, particularly social roles, was the specific topic of investigation of this study. It has generally been hypothesized in marketing literature that consumers will purchase the brand with the image most congruent with the consumers' self-image. Symbolic Interactionism, a field of study in sociology, provides the theoretical foundations for the construct situational self-image. Realization of the relationship between the situational self-consciousness and involvement was also investigated.

Résumé :

Este trabalho procura estudar a relação entre o self e a depressão, ou seja, perceber de que forma é que os sujeitos com depressão se percebem a si mesmos. Este estudo utiliza os seguintes instrumentos: a Avaliação da Representação do Self, o Questionário de Experiências Depressivas (QED), a Escala do Centro de Estudos Epidemiológicos da Depressão (CES-D).Os participantes foram indivíduos de nacionalidade portuguesa de idades compreendidas entre os 24 e os 57 anos, de ambos os sexos, inscritos no Centro de Saúde de Almeirim, com diagnóstico de depressão. Neste estudo, é possível concluir que os depressivos apresentam uma representação negativa do self, pelo que sentem-se e vêem-se desadequados e inferiores aos outros; ABSTRACT: This study aims to establish a connection between self and depression, that is, to understand how depression will influence the image that the individual has of himself. Therefore, this study aims to understand how individuals with depression see themselves, as if they represent itself same and looks for to know the structure of its self, using the following instruments: the Assessment of the Representation of the Self, the Questionnaire of Depressive Experiences (QED) and the Scale of the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression (CES-D). The participants were Portuguese citizens aged between 24 and 57 years, of both sexes, enrolled in the Health Center Almeirim diagnosed with depression. In this study, we conclude that depressives have a negative representation of self, so sit down and find themselves inadequate and inferior to others.

Résumé :

Thesis (MA (VA)(Visual Arts))--University of Stellenbosch, 2007.
Thesis received without illustrations at the time of submission to this repository.
This research follows the assumption that the notion of performativity can be applied to the visual construction of identity within art-making discourse in order to explore the contingent and mutable nature of identity in representation. My interest in performativity, defined as the active, repetitive and ritualistic processes responsible for the construction of subjectivities, lies within the process of production. I indicate how this notion, within the context of self-representation, can provide the possibility for performing identity as a process. I investigate the extent to which gender, the gaze, memory and narrative contribute to the performative construction of self-representations and reveal, through the exploration of my practical research, that these concepts are themselves performative. Although agency to construct the self can be regarded as problematic, considering the role of language and discourse in determining subjectivities, this research suggests that it is possible to perform interventions from within language. I suggest that the notion of inscription provides a means through which identity constructions can be performed differently; and that my art-making process of repetitive inscription, erasure and re-inscription of image and text and the layering of paint not only reflect the notion of performativity, but also enable me to expose the multiple and fragmented nature of identities.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

The goal of this study was to investigate the real self-image, ideal self-image, and self-image disparity of maltreated adolescents, both acting-out and nonacting-out, as compared to nonmaltreated adolescents. Participants included 58 adolescents between the ages of 13 and 17 with groups approximately matched for age, IQ, and mental age. The maltreated group consisted of children who had been neglected, physically abused, and/or psychologically abused. Children in both maltreated and nonmaltreated groups were classified as acting-out or nonacting-out based on reports of truancy, substance abuse, disrespect for authority, violent outbursts, and trouble within the legal system. The primary findings of the study were that maltreated as compared to nonmaltreated individuals displayed lower real self-images and larger self-image disparities. However, the lowest real self-image scores were displayed by the acting-out adolescents regardless of their maltreatment status. In a comparison between the acting-out maltreated adolescents and the acting-out nonmaltreated adolescents, the real self-images were comparable, suggesting that the experience of maltreatment does not exacerbate the negative effect of behavioural difficulty. In addition, the acting-out maltreated children displayed higher ideal self-images than the acting-out nonmaltreated children. Both experiences of maltreatment and acting-out behaviours appear to be related to negative effects of self-image in adolescents. This highlights the importance of investigating the influence of experiential factors on self-system processing.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

This thesis develops a self-adaptive architecture for image understanding that addresses certain kinds of lack of robustness common in image understanding programs. The architecture provides support for making image understanding programs that can manipulate their own semantics and thereby adjust their structure in response to changes in the environment that might cause static image understanding systems to fail. The general approach taken has been to explore the ideas of self-adaptive software and implement an architectural framework that addresses a class of problems that we term "interpretation problems" common in image understanding. Self-adaptive software is a relatively new idea and this thesis represents one of the first implementations of the general idea. The general idea is that to make programs robust to changing environmen- tal conditions that they should be "aware" of their relationship with the environment and be able to restructure themselves at runtime in order to "track" changes in the environment. The implementation takes the form of a multi-layered reflective interpreter that ma- nipulates and runs simple agents. The interpreter framework utilizes Monte-Carlo sam- pling as a mechanism for estimating most likely solutions, uses Minimum Descriptin Length (MDL) as a central coordinating device, and includes a theorem prover based compiler to restructure the program when necessary. To test the architectural ideas developed in the thesis a test domain of interpreting aerial images was chosen. Much of the research described in the thesis addresses issues in that problem domain. The task of the program is to segment, label, and parse aerial images so as to produce an image description similar to descriptions produced by a human expert. An image corpus is developed that is used as the source of domain knowledge. The first processing stage of the program segments the aerial images into segments similar to those found in the annotated corpus. To accomplish this a new segmentation algorithm that we call semantic segmentation was developed that not only used MDL as a principle to drive the low-level segmentation but also allows higher level semantics to influence the segmentation. In our usage of the algorithm those semantics take the form of labeling and parsing the resulting segmentation. The second stage labels the regions and parses the regions into a parse tree. To do this we develop a 2D statistical parser. Rules of grammar are induced from the corpus and an MDL parser finds approximations to the most probable parse of the regions of the segmented image.

Pandelis, Smaroula. « A self-image questionnaire for Greek adolescents ». Thesis, University of Surrey, 1993. http://epubs.surrey.ac.uk/843852/.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

The present thesis concerns the modification of the Offer Self-Image Questionnaire for Adolescents (OSIQ) and its adaptation to a Greek sample. Three studies are presented which involve the course of development of the modified questionnaire namely the Self-Image Questionnaire for Adolescents (SIQA) and the psychometric properties of its scales. Study I presents a series of exploratory Factor Analyses of the OSIQ, based on the data from 1,314 Greek adolescents aged 13-17 years, which led to a modified version with 89 items and 7 scales. The psychometric properties of the scales are presented. Study II is based on data collected from 423 Greek adolescents aged 13 to 17 years and refers to the description of the 7 scales of the modified questionnaire, the creation of its short version, the internal consistency of the scales of both versions and an ANOVA comparing the parameters of sex, age and socioeconomic status of the subjects with their performance on the scales of both SIQA versions. Study III examines the reliability and validity of both SIQA versions based on the data from a group of 305 normal Greek adolescents and 95 deaf Greek adolescents all aged 13-17 years. Two types of reliability are employed; (a) internal consistency and (b) test-retest. Two methods of validity are also employed; (a) construct validity comparing the SIQA scales with the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory (SEI) scales and (b) discriminant validity comparing normal with deaf adolescents.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

In this study, effects of facial self-reflection and complexity of self on physiological responses were investigated. Skin conductance levels were measured during baseline and neutral conditions, then under a self-focusing condition provided by mirror reflection of the face. Subjects completed measures of self-complexity, depressive affect, self-esteem, anxiety and body image satisfaction. Eye tracking data was collected during the mirror condition. Results showed a significant effect of mirror self-reflection on physiological reactivity as measured by differences between mirror and baseline mean responses. Pre-test depressive affect was correlated with low self-esteem but not with self-complexity. Self-complexity was negatively correlated with orientation to physical appearance and positively correlated with greater differences between baseline and mirror mean reactivity. Self-complexity and depressive affect did not significantly predict physiological reactivity, although a trend was found for the influence of each variable. Post-hoc analyses showed significant group differences for both self-complexity and depressive affect on physiological reactivity, although the influence of self-complexity was in the unexpected direction. Results of this study are consistent with general findings that negative self-esteem, anxiety and depression are strongly correlated. In addition, a strong correlation was found between negative self-esteem and dissociative symptoms. Exploratory analyses of eye tracking data found no significant relations among personality variables and percent of time looking at facial image, although some trends were found. Trends for a relation of self-complexity with time looking at facial image, negative evaluation of appearance in the mirror, and less focus on physical appearance suggest a component in the domain of self-complexity related to physical appearance. Clearly, self-complexity has a number of interrelated dimensions and remains a challenging area of study. In addition, the combination of eye tracking and physiological measurement is a relatively new area of study that shows promise for continued investigation.

Carter, Brett Edward. « When does ostracism decrease self-regulation ». Thesis, Montana State University, 2008. http://etd.lib.montana.edu/etd/2008/carter/CarterB0508.pdf.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

Previous research in social psychology has suggested that ostracism has a negative impact on SE, and also can affect how much food individuals will consume. Moreover, research in the eating disorders literature shows a negative relationship between self-esteem and eating. As such, the present experiment was designed to merge these two lines of research to examine what causal role, if any, self-esteem plays in men\'s and women\'s food consumption. It was proposed that some individuals should show a lack of self regulation in terms of the type and amount of food eaten following ostracism. It was also predicted that this effect would have some possible moderators. To test this prediction, participants were randomly assigned to either an ostracism or inclusion condition within the computer game Cyberball. Results indicated that the ostracism manipulation did not result in the anticipated decrease in SE status nor did it cause any significant changes in eating behavior. Nevertheless, significant correlations between SE and body dissatisfaction (BD) were observed, as well as between BD and appearance based rejection sensitivity. There were also significant correlations between body mass index (BMI) and BD, as well as between SE and ARS in both genders. There was also a significant correlation between SE and BMI, but only for male participants. Exploratory analyses revealed that there may have been an unforeseen impact of experimenter gender on eating behavior post ostracism such that self presentation may have impacted the manner in which individuals responded to ostracism.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

The personal narrative nature of my work IS rooted in qualitative research methodology and feminist inquiry, in general, and in autobiographical self-study, in particular. In my thesis, I draw on Mitchell and Weber's (1999) self-study work which explores using images as memory prompts and as visual texts which can be read, interpreted, and reconstructed. Engaging in my own self-study, I use memory work and the construction and analysis of visual texts as a way to explore women's identity and the ways in which women resist or accommodate the people and systems around them (including, but not limited to, the educational system). Exploring the social construction of women's identity through autobiographical selfstudy and memory work, I blend a variety of tools as a practical approach to creating what I come to regard as my own specific methodology for doing self-study: the creation of a Living Research Wall. Collectively and aesthetically arranged, the image texts create one large, wall-size collage which I use in my analysis and interpretation of women's identity. However, my image texts - my Wall- are not simply research tools and data, but form an artistic creation in and of itself. The Living Research Wall has a life beyond this study. This study has implications for teacher education, reflective practice, curriculum design, and work with students at all levels. I am interested in how this self-study process can have an impact on the field of education, especially on the students (particularly the children and young adults) in our care. Self-study is not just how we look at ourselves as practitioners, but how we see and interpret all aspects of our life. I would argue that the most important thing we "bring into the classroom" is our Self and that it is vital that we have an understanding of who that Self is.
La nature narrative personnelle de mon travail est enracinée dans la méthodologiequalitative de recherche et l'enquête féministe en général, et dans la refléxionautobiographique, en particulier. Dans ma thèse, je m'inspire de la refléxionautobiographique de Mitchell et Weber (1999) qui l'explore en utilisant des images pourinciter la mémoire ainsi en tant que textes visuels qui peuvent être lus, interprétés, etreconstruits. S'engageant dans ma propre réflexion autobiographique, j'emploi le travail demémoire et la construction et l'analyse des textes visuels comme manière d'explorerl'identité des femmes et les moyens dont les femmes résistent ou adaptent au peuple et auxsystèmes autour d'eux (y compris mais non limité à, le système d'éducation).Explorant la construction sociale de l'identité des femmes par le travail de laréflexion autobiographique et de mémoire, je mélange une variété d'outils comme approchepratique à créer ce que je viens de considérer comme ma propre méthodologie spécifiquepour faire la réflexion autobiographique: la création d'un Mur vivant de recherche.Collectivement et esthétiquement disposés, les textes d'image créent un grand collage lataille d'un mur dont j'emploi dans mon analyse et interprétation de l'identité des femmes.Cependant, mes textes d'image - mon mur - ne sont pas simplement des outils et des donnéesde recherches, mais forment une création artistique. Le Mur vivant de recherche a une vieau delà de cette étude.Cette étude a des implications pour l'éducation des enseignants, la pratique réflective,et le travail avec et le curriculum pour les étudiants à tous les niveaux. Je suis intéressée parla façon dont ce processus de réflexion autobiographique peut avoir un impact dans ledomaine d'éducation, particulièrement envers les étudiants (surtout les enfants et les jeunesadultes) dans notre soin.

Résumé :

This dissertation investigates the development and use of self-images in augmented reality systems for learning and learning-based activities. This work focuses on self- modeling, a particular form of learning, actively employed in various settings for therapy or teaching. In particular, this work aims to develop novel multimedia systems to support the display and rendering of augmented self-images. It aims to use interactivity (via games) as a means of obtaining imagery for use in creating augmented self-images. Two multimedia systems are developed, discussed and analyzed. The proposed systems are validated in terms of their technical innovation and their clinical efficacy in delivering behavioral interventions for young children on the autism spectrum.

Burden, Nic. « Body image and self-disgust as self-appraisals influencing adjustment to limb amputation ». Thesis, Lancaster University, 2016. http://eprints.lancs.ac.uk/81513/.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

This thesis explored the roles of body image and self-disgust, as self-appraisals, in their relationship to psychosocial adjustment and related factors in people with limb amputations. The thesis includes a systematic literature review of body image relating to psychosocial adjustment and a research paper examining the relationship of self-disgust to psychosocial adjustment following limb amputation. A critical appraisal of the research process and an ethics section are also included. Section one presents a quantitative systematic literature review of sixteen studies examining body image perception as a correlate or predictor of demographic, clinical and psychosocial factors related to adjustment following limb amputation. Body image concerns were found to be associated with poorer outcomes on several psychosocial factors, such as depression, anxiety, activity restriction and self-esteem, as well as prosthesis satisfaction. Findings are discussed in regard to theories of body image. Body image is proposed as an important consideration for clinical and prosthetic services, in working with people with limb amputations. In section two, an empirical study of quantitative, cross sectional methodology is presented, in which correlational and hierarchical regression analysis are used to examine the relationship of self-disgust to psychosocial adjustment and related factors; prosthesis use, prosthesis satisfaction, and body image. Self-disgust was found to correlate with each of the outcome measures and to significantly contribute to variance in psychosocial adjustment, prosthesis use, aesthetic prosthesis satisfaction and body image. Self-disgust emerged as an important consideration in understanding poor adjustment to amputation. Section three includes a critical appraisal of the research process, in which reflections are presented on the design of the study, the importance of researching difficult topics, such as selfdisgust, and potential areas for future research.

Résumé :

The Research Topic and the Need for It: This thesis starts with a review of what the literature says about the importance of corporate image and how it needs to be managed as a strategic asset. However, the problem is there is no model that shows what corporate image comprises and explains how its various components interact with one another so that it can be managed. The result is a number of confusing and contradictory definitions and unproductive discussions about things like whether corporate reputation and corporate image are different or synonymous. In response to this need, it is suggested that corporate image comprises three different image perspectives; namely, Self Image, Projected Image and Perceived Image and that it is only when these are defined separately and regarded holistically that corporate image can be properly defined, understood and managed. Objective: The objective of this research was to develop and test this model using triangulated approaches in which data could be acquired and understood from different sources. To this end questionnaires were developed by document analysis, consultation and discussion. This research was conducted in two very different organisations - a new university campus and a sugar co-operative. In the interests of confidentiality they have been renamed Barton University's Kingsley Campus and Sunstate Sugar Co-operative Association Limited. Data was input into both SPSS and HIPSYS computer programs for the Kingsley Campus research and into HIPSYS for the Sunstate Sugar research. For both research sites the results were discussed with members of all response groups so that accurate interpretations of the data could be made and additional meaningful data acquired. For Kingsley Campus, response groups included all Academic and General Staff of Kingsley Campus for the Self Image and the Projected Image, and for the Perceived Image all Current and Past Students, a representative sample of Grade 12 high school students, advanced diploma students of Kingsley TAFE, and Community Leaders. In all 3,693 questionnaires were distributed and 934 completed questionnaires were processed. For Sunstate Sugar, response groups included all employees for the Self Image separated by Management, Supervisors and Workforce, all Board members and all Employees who interface with the growers (members of the co-operative) for the Projected Image, and all members of the co-operative for the Perceived Image. In all 1830 questionnaires were distributed and 916 completed questionnaires were processed. Findings: The results from the Kingsley Campus research showed that the Projected Image needed to be more effectively targeted at the Grade 12 target group. The results from the Sunstate Sugar research showed that its Perceived Image was affected by its Self Image as well as by its Projected Image and that its Self Image in particular needed to be made more positive. The results from both organisations suggest that a positive corporate Self Image influences the Projected Image and can have as much impact on the Perceived Image as does the Projected Image. In exploring and discussing the results of this research, each organization derived recommendations which led to their developing action plans for the more effective management of their corporate image. These results indicate that the model created has eliminated a gap in the literature, diffused the confusion regarding what corporate image is, and provided a structure and a methodology by which corporate image can be identified and managed. It has been shown to have considerable utility.

Data was input into both SPSS and HIPSYS computer programs for the Kingsley Campus research and into HIPSYS for the Sunstate Sugar research. For both research sites the results were discussed with members of all response groups so that accurate interpretations of the data could be made and additional meaningful data acquired. For Kingsley Campus, response groups included all Academic and General Staff of Kingsley Campus for the Self Image and the Projected Image, and for the Perceived Image all Current and Past Students, a representative sample of Grade 12 high school students, advanced diploma students of Kingsley TAFE, and Community Leaders. In all 3,693 questionnaires were distributed and 934 completed questionnaires were processed. For Sunstate Sugar, response groups included all employees for the Self Image separated by Management, Supervisors and Workforce, all Board members and all Employees who interface with the growers (members of the co-operative) for the Projected Image, and all members of the co-operative for the Perceived Image. In all 1830 questionnaires were distributed and 916 completed questionnaires were processed. Findings: The results from the Kingsley Campus research showed that the Projected Image needed to be more effectively targeted at the Grade 12 target group. The results from the Sunstate Sugar research showed that its Perceived Image was affected by its Self Image as well as by its Projected Image and that its Self Image in particular needed to be made more positive. The results from both organisations suggest that a positive corporate Self Image influences the Projected Image and can have as much impact on the Perceived Image as does the Projected Image. In exploring and discussing the results of this research, each organization derived recommendations which led to their developing action plans for the more effective management of their corporate image. These results indicate that the model created has eliminated a gap in the literature, diffused the confusion regarding what corporate image is, and provided a structure and a methodology by which corporate image can be identified and managed. It has been shown to have considerable utility.

Résumé :

Overview of the Thesis Research interest in body image has accelerated in recent decades. As such, there exists a substantial body of literature examining affective and behavioural correlates of body dissatisfaction. Although this literature has consistently demonstrated positive relationships between body dissatisfaction and depression, social physique anxiety, disordered eating and physical inactivity, the underlying mechanisms of the relationships between one's body image and affect remain poorly understood. Furthermore, although body image researchers have commonly examined discrepancies between one's current (or actual) self and one's ideal self, they have not commonly done so within an established theoretical framework. Higgins' (1987) self-discrepancy theory proposes that individuals possess three selves: an actual self, an ideal self, and an ought self; and that discrepancies between these selves result in distinct emotional consequences. Furthermore, it has been proposed that individuals possess a feared self, which may act as a moderator of the relationships between ideal and ought selves, and affect. Although this proposal has begun to receive research attention within the global self-discrepancy literature, it has yet to be examined within the context of body image. As such, utilising a self-discrepancy theory framework, this thesis presents a detailed examination of ideal, ought and feared body image self-discrepancies and their interactions as predictors of social physique anxiety, body dissatisfaction and disordered eating attitudes. The first study extends the work of Carver et al. (1999) and W oodman and Hemmings (2008) by examining the moderating role of the feared self in the relationship between women's ought body fat discrepancies and social physique anxiety. Specifically, we examined the hypothesis that the positive relationship between ought body fat discrepancies and social physique anxiety will be stronger when women are farther from their feared self. Results were in line with that hypothesised and provide initial support for such an interaction framework in examining body self-discrepancies; highlighting the importance of considering the role ofthe feared self in the relationship between body self- discrepancies and social physique anxiety. Study 2 was an examination of the interaction between ought and feared body fat discrepancies in predicting social physique anxiety and disordered eating attitudes. Study 2 extended the fmdings of Study 1 by examining a model of mediated moderation such that ought and feared discrepancies interact to significantly predict disordered eating attitudes, 11 III and that this relationship is mediated by social physique anxiety. Results demonstrated that the ought x feared interaction on disordered eating attitudes was fully mediated by social physique anxiety. However, the form ofthe ought x feared interaction was in contrast to that hypothesised (cf. Study 1). Specifically, the positive relationship between ought body fat discrepancies and disordered eating attitudes was significant only when women were close to their feared self. Study 3 addressed the growing body of correlational and experimental literature examining the effects of acute exposure to media ideals on body image and associated affect (e.g., Halliwell & Dittmar, 2004, 2005). We extended this by examining the moderating role of exposure to media ideals on the relationship between body discrepancy magnitude and affect. Specifically, we examined whether the positive relationships between ideal discrepancies and body dissatisfaction; and ought body discrepancies and social physique anxiety, are attenuated by exposure to media ideals. Results provided support for these hypotheses such that the positive relationship between ideal body discrepancies & body satisfaction, and ought body discrepancies & social physique anxiety, were weaker following exposure to media ideals compared to a control condition. Utilising a hierarchical linear modelling approach, Study 4 examined within-person variability in the specific shape of interactions between self-guides in predicting social physique anxiety. Specifically, we examined whether the moderating role of the feared self differs as a function of mean levels of social physique anxiety. Results demonstrated a three-way cross-level interaction such that when mean social physique anxiety was high, the positive relationship between ideal discrepancies and social physique anxiety was significant only when participants were relatively far from their feared self. In contrast, when mean social physique anxiety was low, the positive relationship between ideal discrepancies and social physique anxiety was significant only when participants were relatively close to their feared self. The fmal chapter presents a discussion of the central fmdings of the thesis and the advances made in understanding the interplay between body self-discrepancies in predicting affect. Furthermore, we discuss the implications and propose future directions for body image, social physique anxiety and self-discrepancy research.

Résumé :

Autobiographies have been written by notable 20^th Century choreographers, establishing a strong connection between autobiographical writing and the art of choreographing. The autobiographical process, specifically the act of self-reflection, lends itself to the formation of a self-image, which is evident in both the choreographers' writing and their choreography. Because of similar processes in choreography and autobiographical writing, choreographers are inclined towards the autobiographical act, as it is an invaluable tool for self-discovery and expression. Through this process, choreographers have been able to formulate and perpetuate lasting images of themselves, supported by both their choreographic work, and their written autobiographies. Examples of this can be seen in the works of 20^th Century modern dance choreographers: Isadora Duncan, Martha Graham, Yvonne Rainer and Twyla Tharp.

Résumé :

Automotive technologies and fully autonomous driving have seen a tremendous growth in recent times and have benefitted from extensive deep learning research. State-of-the-art deep learning methods are largely supervised and require labelled data for training. However, the annotation process for image data is time-consuming and costly in terms of human efforts. It is of interest to find informative samples for labelling by Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR). Generally, a CBIR method takes a query image as input and returns a set of images that are semantically similar to the query image. The image retrieval is achieved by transforming images to feature representations in a latent space, where it is possible to reason about image similarity in terms of image content. In this thesis, a self-supervised method is developed to learn feature representations of road scenes images. The self-supervised method learns feature representations for images by adapting intermediate convolutional features from an existing deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). A contrastive approach based on Noise Contrastive Estimation (NCE) is used to train the feature learning model. For complex images like road scenes where mutiple image aspects can occur simultaneously, it is important to embed all the salient image aspects in the feature representation. To achieve this, the output feature representation is obtained as an ensemble of feature embeddings which are learned by focusing on different image aspects. An attention mechanism is incorporated to encourage each ensemble member to focus on different image aspects. For comparison, a self-supervised model without attention is considered and a simple dimensionality reduction approach using SVD is treated as the baseline. The methods are evaluated on nine different evaluation datasets using CBIR performance metrics. The datasets correspond to different image aspects and concern the images at different spatial levels - global, semi-global and local. The feature representations learned by self-supervised methods are shown to perform better than the SVD approach. Taking into account that no labelled data is required for training, learning representations for road scenes images using self-supervised methods appear to be a promising direction. Usage of multiple query images to emphasize a query intention is investigated and a clear improvement in CBIR performance is observed. It is inconclusive whether the addition of an attentive mechanism impacts CBIR performance. The attention method shows some positive signs based on qualitative analysis and also performs better than other methods for one of the evaluation datasets containing a local aspect. This method for learning feature representations is promising but requires further research involving more diverse and complex image aspects.

Résumé :

This study examined some of the procedures used in eating disorder research. Body size estimation procedures, in light of their similarity to procedures in social psychology, were used to create self-focus and selfconsciousness conditions. If the procedures in the present study create self-consciousness effects, it is possible that the results of those studies have been affected by a heightened state of self-awareness. The present research also explored the relationships between self-consciousness, self-esteem, body esteem, body perception, and eating disorder proneness. The research was conducted with a nonclinical sample from a university population, controlling for age and body development factors. Baseline and experimental measures of objective self-awareness and body size perception were taken. The experimental conditions consisted of the presence of a) a VCR and mirror and b) an observer who was rating the subject. The third condition was a control setting that replicated the baseline setting. The sample was also tested at the posttest for self-esteem, body esteem, and eating disorder proneness. The results indicate that the subjects reported no significant changes in self-consciousness or body size estimates, suggesting that something besides the presence of equipment influences whether or not one feels selfconscious. This idea has been borne out in other research that implicates self-esteem as a major consideration in whether or not an individual feels self-conscious in certain situations (that is, that low self-esteem appears to increase one's amenability to induce self-consciousness). Another primary factor is that self-consciousness cannot be induced when the individual is interested in the task. Subjects in the present study indicated that they found the tasks inherently interesting and forgot about the presence of equipment and observers once they began thinking about the questions posed to them. In the present research, selfesteem and body esteem were both found to be negatively related to self-consciousness, while eating disorder proneness was found to be positively related to selfconsciousness. The results are discussed in light of these connections, and suggestions for future research are provided.

Résumé :

Thesis advisor: Laura Tanner
Illness touches all of us, both directly and indirectly, and to respond to a reality with physical and psychological ramifications, we turn to diagnosis for answers. The role of diagnosis is to place a name upon a bodily disorder, giving a patient some idea of what has gone wrong in his or her body, and how life may change. At its essence, diagnosis renders a mysterious set of symptoms into a tangible, understandable disease that can, ideally, be recognized and treated. Yet this perspective can seem strangely simplistic. How can a single word or phrase encapsulate the variable and far-reaching effects of illness on the complicated lives we live? And what are the effects of the application of the phrase to a patient’s life: a comforting awareness, an estrangement from healthy society, or something in between?
