When Self-Presentation is Constrained by the Target's Knowledge: Consistency and Compensation

Baumeister, Roy F.; Jones, Edward E.

Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 36, 6, 608-18, Jun 78

This study, concerned with distinguishing between the public and private determinants of self-presentational strategy, tests the hypothesis that one consequence of another's prior knowledge about a person is an implicit pressure on that person to act in a way consistent with what the other already knows about him or her. Subjects were 90 university freshmen. (CM)
