Allen is seen by his boss and coworkers as a dependable and hard-working young adult. They think of him as dedicated and focused.

Answer to Question 1

Answer: Self-monitoring is the tendency to adapt behavior to fit the demands of the situation. An example of self-monitoring is not using profanity at work, because no one else talks that way, but freely using it when hanging out with your friends who like to curse.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: James's social self is not considered to be a single unified entity. Different aspects of our selves show when we interact with different people. When Allen is at work interacting with his coworkers, he shows one part of himself, and when he is at the slot car races, he shows another.
