Explanation:
Mark Snyder's theory of self-observation tries to explain how we adapt our behavior to the social context and how it is related to aspects such as personality or patterns of social interaction. People who are high self-monitors exercise strong control over their external behavior and the image of themselves that they project socially; more specifically, they adapt to the characteristics of the interaction situation and the interlocutors. On the other hand, those who have a low level of self-monitoring try to maintain coherence between the vision they have of themselves and the one they project to others. Thus, they show consistent social patterns, tend to express their true thoughts and are not constantly concerned with how they can be evaluated.
