Answer to Question 1

Answer: Possible conflicts between appearing likable and appearing competent: women's self-presentational dilemma; projecting modesty may undermine the perception of one's competence because one can't claim both modesty and competence; projecting modesty may prevent the use of the trappings of competence; creating similarity with equals may prevent one from conveying status and power.
Possible conflicts between appearing likable and conveying status and power: women's self-presentation dilemma applies here as well; projecting modesty may prevent the use of the trappings of status and power; projecting modesty may prevent one from claiming associations with powerful or high status individuals.
