Abstract

High self-monitoring (SM) subjects were hypothesized to be more aware than low SM subjects of their impressions on others. Female subjects were videotaped and then predicted their impressions on anyone who viewed the film. The tapes were evaluated by 10 judges, and their impressions were compared with the subjects' predictions. Results showed that high SM subjects were somewhat better than low SM subjects at predicting their impressions, but the difference between groups was not reliable. A 4-item, factor analytically derived SM subscale labeled Acting and the Public Self-Consciousness Scale did differentiate subjects, such that high scorers on both measures were more accurate than low scorers in predicting their impressions on the judges. In addition, high actors left more favorable impressions on the judges. Implications of the multidimensionality of the SM Scale were discussed.
