Abstract: Variables that Determine Mho Me Say Me Are (105 p p . ) Three variables hypothesized b hlenker (1980) to mediate the use of impression management (social value of the image, probability of a successful claim, and negative sanctions for an unsuccessful claim) were investigated in a 3X2X2 factorial design.The measures of inaccurate self-report developed by Paulhus (1990$ Self-deception and Impression Management Scales) were the dependent variables in the study.The three independent variables were operationalized by varying the instructions for the experiment which were delivered individually to the subjects.Subjects were pre-screened and classified with respect to self-monitoring (high/low) prior to treatment group assignment.Results suggest that increasing the social value of a moral image significantly increases impression management scores as compared to increasing the social value of an honest or unspecified image.High self monitors exhibited more variation in impression management scores than did low self-monitors suggesting that the high self-monitors were more sophisticated in their use of impression management tactics.The measurement and operationalization of impression management variables are discussed.
