The need for a joint consideration of self-presentation and coping is emphasized. In doing so, differences between the acquisitive style and the protective styles of self-presentation were explored with respect to coping intentions and reactions. A video simulating the situation just before a public speech was presented to 168 students as a social stress scenario. High protective compared with low protective self-presenters were more engaged in avoidance coping and more concerned with intentions that indicate avoidance of social disapproval. Furthermore, they tended to use non-authentic self-presentation and were less engaged in entertaining the audience. An almost opposite pattern of results emerged for high acquisitive compared with low acquisitive self-presenters.Implications of these findings for Snyder's self-monitoring theory include the differentiation between acquisitive self-monitors, protective self-monitors, high self-monitors (high on both styles) and low self-monitors (low on both styles).

Using the blogosphere as an enabling IT environment, this paper investigates how self-concept influences virtual self-presentation behavior and the use of IT artifacts. Self-presentation theory is adapted from the social psychology literature to develop a theoretical research model of virtual self-presentation. We tested the research model and hypotheses with data collected from 312 bloggers. Structural equation analysis of this data reveals a nomological net of self-concept leading to IT-enabled virtual self-presentation and the use of IT artifacts. Our findings provide a new perspective of users as heterogeneous individuals who have various self-concepts that change the sequence and dynamics among users, IT artifacts, and tasks. In contrast to traditional systems, in the social context of virtual self-presentation, users are the primary and essential drivers who determine vaguely defined tasks and systems.

The current work examined the self-presentation-self-regulation relationship utilizing a design in which participants disclosed self-information during an actual interpersonal interaction. By comparison, prior work relied on assessing participants' intention to disclose. Our findings showed that making self-presentation disclosures during an interaction depleted participants' self-regulatory resources as a function of attachment style and intimacy level of disclosures. We discuss how using an interpersonal paradigm clarifies a self-presentation rather than decision-making interpretation of earlier work's results, how deciding what to disclose (i.e., intent) and actually making disclosures can be considered distinctly different acts, and how reversing the variable relationship (i.e., opposite to prior work) has theoretical importance because it examines the inverse question that is implied, but not tested or demonstrated in earlier work.

Results from two experiments demonstrated that people's pre-emptive self-presentations increased when faced with an upcoming evaluation. However, like compensatory self-presentations, these efforts were cautiously restricted to areas unrelated to the forthcoming evaluative dimension. The contributions to the literature are straightforward with the results building on and extending prior work. First, where previous research shows that people engage in self-presentations to compensate for an already unfavorable public image, the current data reveal that people also pre-emptively adjust their self-presentations prior to any direct evaluation or feedback. Moreover, the present findings are the first to show that pre-emptive efforts are prudently constrained in a manner similar to compensatory self-presentations.

Previous research has shown that humor and self-presentation are linked in several ways. With regard to individual differences, it turned out that gelotophilia (the joy of being laughed at) and katagelasticism (the joy of laughing at others) are substantially associated with the histrionic self-presentation style that is characterized by performing explicit As-If-behaviors (e.g., irony, parodying others) in everyday interactions. By contrast, gelotophobia (the fear of being laughed at) shows a negative correlation with histrionic self-presentation. In order to further contribute to the nomological network, we have explored whether the three dispositions toward ridicule and laughter as well as histrionic self-presentation are related to humor creation abilities. In doing so, we have assessed the four constructs in a study with 337 participants that also completed the Cartoon Punch line Production Test (CPPT, Köhler and Ruch, 1993, unpublished). In the CPPT, subjects were asked to generate as many funny punch lines as possible for six caption-removed cartoons. The created punch lines were then analyzed with regard to quantitative (e.g., number of punch lines) and qualitative (e.g., wittiness of the punch lines and overall wittiness of the person as evaluated by three independent raters) humor creation abilities. Results show that both gelotophilia and histrionic self-presentation were positively correlated with quantitative and qualitative humor creation abilities. By contrast, gelotophobia showed slightly negative and katagelasticism no associations with the assessed humor creation abilities. These findings especially apply to the subgroup of participants that created punch lines for each of the six cartoons and partly replicate and extend the results of a previous study by Ruch et al. (2009). Altogether, the results of our study show that individual differences in humor-related traits are associated with the quantity and quality of humorous punch lines. It is argued that behavior-related or performative humor creation tasks should be considered in addition to the CPPT in order to open up new avenues that can cross-fertilize research on individual differences in humor and self-presentation.

Background : This current study aimed to fill the gap that is the relationships of different strategies of online self-presentation (OSP) on sensory impairments students and further explored the effect of social support between them. Methods : Results were from a cross-sectional survey (N=303) with 191 hearing impaired students and 112 visual impaired students, which examined two mediations among online positive and honest self-presentation (PSP and HSP) in self-esteem of sensory impaired students through social support. Results : Specifically, we found that HSP was positively correlated with self-esteem and social support, conversely, PSP was only positively correlated with social support. Moreover, results revealed a suppression of the association of PSP with self-esteem via social support. However, social support had the role of a complete intermediary between HSP and self-esteem. Conclusions : Findings indicated that students with sensory impairments dislike the camouflage effect of positive self-presentation about themselves, from which the psychological deficiencies of self-esteem are derived. When students with sensory impairments feel social support, honest self-presentation were more likely beneficial to their self-esteem.

We examined whether high self-monitors cognitively process self-presentation-related information and concepts more readily than low self-monitors. Results across three studies indicate that compared to low self-monitors, high self-monitors have greater cognitive access to self-presentation-related information and concepts. High self-monitors produced more words related to self-presentation in a shorter amount of time (Study 1) and in a cognitive load condition (Study 2). In both studies, the number of words did not differ when participants took longer to create their list and when they were in a no cognitive load condition. In Study 3, high (vs. low) self-monitors showed faster reaction time to self-presentation-related concepts. In contrast, reaction time to non-self-presentation items did not differ. The findings contribute to both the theory and knowledge of self-monitoring by demonstrating that information processing related to self-presentational concepts is an important component of self-monitoring, in that such information is more cognitively accessible to high self-monitors.

There has been an increase in the numbers of women getting tattoos. The purpose of this study was to better understand tattooed women focusing on how having a tattoo influenced both self perceptions and subsequent behaviors. Our study was guided by three research questions: (I) What meaning do women assign to their tattoos and to what extent were these meanings dynamic? (2) What changes in self perception did women attribute to their being tattooed? (3) What changes in behavior did women attribute to their being tattooed? In-depth interviews of thirty tattooed women served as our data. Tattoos held several meanings for participants including connection to self, life events, relationships, and spirituality. Tattoos were closely related to some aspect of the self (82%). For some participants the meaning changed over time (61 %). The act of obtaining tattoos resulted in a change in how participants viewed themselves and their behavior.

The primary aims of this study were to test whether perceived dating success would differ between offline and online zero-acquaintance dating contexts and to investigate the role that self-esteem might play in these evaluations. Participants were presented with the same photos of targets in either an offline or online dating scenario and rated their chances of dating success along with their perceptions of how attractive they thought the target would consider them. Higher self-esteem individuals believed they would be rated as more attractive. There was an overall perception that, irrespective of self-esteem level, meeting online would lead to better chances of dating success. These findings are considered in relation to an increased ability to more precisely manage impressions and develop an image of the self which would be evaluated more positively online.

Although theoretical and applied work has emphasized the critical role of coachee personality in the coaching process, little empirical research has identified specific personality traits as moderating variables. Drawing from social-psychological theories, we examined coachees' ability to modify self-presentation, a major facet of the self-monitoring construct, as a moderator of the relationships between executive coaching and coachees' satisfaction with the coaching relationship, career-related self-reflection, and self-esteem. Using a sample of managerial coachees who were either unemployed or at risk of becoming unemployed and who participated in a series of executive-coaching sessions, we found support for most of our hypotheses. Overall coaching as well as specific coaching factors were significantly and positively associated with relationship satisfaction and self-reflection. Overall coaching and transformative-learning dimensions of coaching (goal development and past reappraisal) related more strongly and positively to self-reflection among coachees high in self-presentation ability, whereas overall coaching and psychosocial dimensions of coaching (confidence enhancement and relationship building) related more strongly and positively to relationship satisfaction among coachees low in self-presentation ability. Therefore, our theoretical considerations and empirical results suggest that coachees differing in self-presentation ability respond differently to coaching in general and to specific coach behaviors in particular.
