This study was designed to examine the audience-pleasing and self-constructional aspects of self-presentation on perceived exertion. Subjects performed two 18-min sessions on a cycle ergometer at light, moderate, and heavy workloads, during which perceived exertion and heart rate were collected. Each subject participated in a male and female experimenter condition. Males reported significantly lower perceived exertion in the female experimenter condition at the heavy load, compared to the same load in the male experimenter condition. There were no other significant differences for males or females at any of the workloads in either condition. Responses on the Self-Monitoring Inventory were used to assign subjects to either a high or low self-construction group. Results indicated that high self-constructors recorded significantly lower perceived exertion, compared to low self-constructors, at the low and moderate workloads.

The relationship between socially desirable responding and offence characteristics is examined with 49 rapists. Socially desirable responding (SDR) was measured by the Balanced Inventory of Desirable Responding. Offence characteristics included: (a) perpetrator’s relationship to the victim; (b) severity of victim injury; and (c) victim’s age. Greater victim injury was associated with lower Impression Management (r = -.27, p<.03) and Denial scores (r = -.32, p<.01). No significant relationship occurred between offence characteristics and the self-deceptive scales of Denial of the Negative and Over Confident Rigidity. Alternative to the underreporting hypothesis, self-presentation and the acquisition of socially appropriate skills may explain the SDR/violence relationship.

The spread of social networks as a new environment allows representing self-image and psychological characteristics more or less different from reality. The studies of social network sites (SNS) confirm that self-presentation on the SNS is characterized by using specific strategies to display and regulate information about oneself. Self-monitoring and perfectionistic self-presentation can be considered essential characteristics of self-presentation on a social network site profile. Various connections between personality traits and characteristics of self-presentation on the SNS are revealed. Many studies replicate the relations between extraversion, neuroticism, and narcissism with social network activity and self-image representation. In the current study, we examined the relationship between the characteristics of self-presentation on a social network (realistic demonstrative self and fake deceiving self) with the Big Five and the Dark Triad traits. The characteristics of self-presentation and personality traits were assessed on a sample of 478 undergraduate students. Generally, a realistic demonstrative self is associated with the desire to show the best side of self (self-monitoring), avoidance of self-discussion, while a fake deceiving self reveals connections focusing on others' reactions to self-presentation. Consciousness, neuroticism, openness, and narcissism are predictors for realistic, demonstrative self-presentation, and conscientiousness and Machiavellianism are predictors for false, deceptive self-presentation. Thus, realistic demonstrative self-presentation is associated with controlling the information posted in the network and the desire to arouse admiration, and false self-presentation manifesting as a purposeful strategy for creating an unrealistic image.

Abstract. Self-monitoring is a key element in interpersonal interactions, guiding how people monitor and adjust their social behavior. Compared to low self-monitors, high self-monitors are more sensitive to and use social cues to direct their self-presentations. However, little work has examined whether high self-monitors possess a heightened capacity to cognitively process self-presentation information. The goal of the current work is to address this question. After exposure to impression-related (vs. control) words, high (vs. low) self-monitors were faster to link positive (vs. neutral) traits to the self. The results show that high self-monitors have greater cognitive access to self-presentation information, a finding that has heretofore been absent from the literature.

In support of theorising about differences in cultural conditioning with regards to self-presentation in social situations, the self-monitoring scores of 105 Chinese and 124 New Zealand students were compared. As predicted, Chinese reported significantly higher self-monitoring than New Zealanders and the effect was independent of sex and socioeconomic status.

Factor analyses of the self-monitoring scale consistently reveal an acting ability factor refer to performance in the sense of theatrical entertainment and may have little to with self-presentation in real-life interactions. A set of social acting items having face validity for ability to modify self-presentation in everyday life is shown to have very little in common with stage acting items of Snyder's Self-monitoring scale. The results point to the necessity of distinguishing between contingent and noncontingent self-presentation.
