Question

While completing a personality test, Craig comes to an item that asks him if he sees himself as shy and introverted. Craig reflects on some of his recent behavior. He reasons that since he generally does not talk much in class discussions and tends to avoid large parties, he must be shy and introverted. Which of the following strategies for self-knowledge is Craig using? a) self-presentation b) self-perception c) self-esteem d) self-enhancement

Answer 1

Answer:

self-presentation

Explanation:

This theory asserts that people develop their attituds by watching and thinking about their own behavior. It is a counter intuitive theory, since it goes backward: behavior determines attituds and not otherwise, as it is commonly accepted.
