Cultural frameworks for understanding the self are often categorized into two broad orientations: individualism and collectivism.

Impression Management Techniques IV: Altercasting

110
Altercasting is a strategic communication technique in which an individual imposes a specific identity or social role onto another person to influence their behavior and shape the interaction. By presuming a role—such as “responsible leader” or “patient person”—altercasting encourages the target to conform to that identity, often aligning their behavior with the expectations associated with the role. The power of this tactic lies in its subtlety; once a role...
