- High self-monitors vs low self-monitors and consistency across environments/situations.
Explanation:
The 'Self-monitoring' concept was introduced by Mark Snyder. He described it as the personality trait in which individuals possess an ability to adjust or regulate themselves or their behavior according to various social situations.
As per the question, the aspect 'self-monitoring' helps to explain 'High self-monitors vs low self-monitors as well as the consistency to adjust the behavior across different environments/situations
.'' An individual who is high self-monitor would look into the environment to adjust his behavior while a low self-monitor would look into his/her inner values or beliefs to determine how to behave.
There are certain close associations between the 'Big Five domains of personality' of Snyder and his concept of self-monitoring. The traits of his theory overlap with the concept as 'self-monitoring' is one of the key domains of an effective personality.
Methods are needed to reduce social desirability bias. Such methods may include the wording and prefacing of questions, clearly defining the role of “study participant,” and assessing and addressing motivations for socially desirable responses
