Latent Structure of Self-Monitoring
Although the construct of self-monitoring has assumed a central role in the description and explanation of human social behavior, there is considerable disagreement about the performance of the Self-Monitoring Scale, the primary instrument for measuring individual differences in self-monitoring. The scale was originally designed to tap into a single source of variance; however, factor analyses have consistently demonstrated that the scale is fact…
Conventional wisdom on measurement
The applicability of 5 conventional guidelines for construct measurement is critically examined: (a) Construct indicators should be internally consistent for valid measures, (b) there are optimal magnitudes of correlations between items, (c) the validity of measures depends on the adequacy with which a specified domain is sampled, (d) within-construct correlations must be greater than between-construct correlations, and (e) linear composites of i…
Use of the Dramaturgical Metaphor in the Measurement of Self-Monitoring
Factor analyses of the self-monitoring scale consistently reveal an acting ability factor, which refers to performance in the sense of theatrical entertainment and may have little to do with self-presentation in real-life interactions. A set of social acting items having face validity for ability to modify self – presentation in everyday life is shown to have very little in common with stage acting items of Snyder's Self-monitoring scale. The res…

Concern for appropriateness as a moderator variable in the statistical explanation of self‐reported use of alcohol and marijuana
Two studies examine the Concern for Appropriateness Scale (Lennox & Wolfe, 1984) as a likely moderator of dispositional and environmental variables associated with self‐reported use of alcohol and marijuana by college and precollege students In Study 1, data from 408 upper division students show that concern score interacts significantly with religiosity in analyses of use of both drugs, but not with any of 11 other dispositional variables nor wi…
Self-Monitoring, Shyness, and Socialibility
The Lennox-Wolfe Self-monitoring scale is examined for its capacity to predict “shrewd and pragmatic” styles of behavior in 95 subjects tested prior to entering college. The scale is shown to correlate with a measure of shyness (negatively) and sociability (positively) in theoretically consistent directions. Results partially validate the self-monitoring scale
Public Self-Consciousness, Social Anxiety, and Variability of Social Behavior
Social anxiety and public self-consciousness are compared as predictors of variability of social behavior by 242 subjects tested prior to entering college. Social anxiety is the stronger of the two predictors, increasing variance accounted for by 12%. Results are consistent with an explanation which emphasizes a motive to avoid disapproval
Revision of the Self-Monitoring Scale
Snyder's (1974) Self-Monitoring Scale exhibits a stable factor structure that does not correspond to the five-component theoretical structure he presents. Sets of face-valid items that better approximate the theoretical structure are described. Correlations between these sets of items and measures of other constructs reveal that four of the five components are positively related to social anxiety. Effective social interaction is supposedly the hi…
Self-monitoring and sex as moderator variables in the statistical explanation of self-reported marijuana and alcohol use
Self-monitoring and sex are examined as likely moderators of some of the known effective predictors of self-reported use of marijuana and alcohol. The theory of self-monitoring implies that in comparisons between low and high self-monitors, dispositional predictors account for more of the variance in reported use among low self-monitors and environmental predictors account for more of the variance among high self-monitors. With the two classes of…
