Answer to Question 2

Self-presentation is the portrayal of oneself to others in an effort to put forward a
positive image. Self-monitoring refers to the ability to read the situation one is in and to
adjust behavior accordingly. High self-monitors seem to have a repertoire of selves
from which to draw and are especially sensitive to strategic self-presentation concerns
that vary from one situation to the next, whereas low self-monitors express themselves
more consistently across different situations. Therefore, self-monitoring can be an
important ingredient of effective self-presentation.
