Brown, Eva C.; Guy, Rebecca F. – Social Behavior and Personality, 1983
Examined the effects of sex and Machiavellianism on self-disclosure patterns in 166 students who completed a questionnaire assessing several dimensions of friendship relations. As hypothesized, a significant sex-Machiavellian interaction was observed, suggesting that self-disclosure may be a manipulation strategy for females. (JAC)

Heslin, Richard; Collins, Jack – Social Behavior and Personality, 1981
Other-directed (interpersonally sensitive) or inner-directed (interpersonally less sensitive) students (N=80) observed a videotape of a person acting in either a role-consonant or a role-deviant manner. As expected, there was significantly less variance among the ratings when other-directed observers viewed role-deviant behavior than in the other…

Williams, David; Jaremko, Matt E. – Social Behavior and Personality, 1982
Hypothesized that high self-preoccupation (SP) subjects would perceive negative feedback as more negative and positive feedback as more positive than low SP persons. Results indicated high SP persons distorted all feedback; subjects who received negative feedback first showed higher evaluation to both positive and negative feedback. (Author/RC)
