Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about the way you...

Main Methods:

Development and validation of a comprehensive coping checklist.
Administration of the checklist to two groups: 60 individuals with neurosis and 60 normal individuals.
Comparative analysis of coping behaviors between the groups.

Main Results:

The newly developed coping checklist proved easy to administer.
Significant differences in coping behaviors were observed between neurotic and normal participants.
The findings suggest distinct patterns of coping associated with neuroticism.
