| Course contents : | The first two chapters provide us with a background for understanding self-presentation, with an emphasis on the tactics people use to manage their impressions. The course is then organized around four general issues regarding the functions, causes, and effects of self-presentation in everydaylife. The first issue involves the question of why people are motivated to manage their impressions. This is, in fact, two questions, one asking why people should ever be motivated to manage their impressions, and the other asking why people are motivated to impression-manage in some sitiuations than in others and why some people are generally more motivated to impression-manege than other people. The myriad of factors that affect the kinds of impressions people try to convey in a particular situation is then analysed. Some of these factors involve features of the social setting, whereas others involve the person's own personal characteristics. Afterwards, we examine what happens when people think they are making an undesired impression on other people. Self-presentational worries can seriously disrupt social interactions and the behavior of people in them. Finally, the interplay between self-presentation and self-esteem is studied. | |||||
