Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Self-monitoring refers to the degree to which individuals are able and willing to adjust their behaviour in response to external situations. High self-monitors are like social chameleons, adapting to different social contexts and expectations. Option A (social absorption) refers to the degree to which individuals are absorbed in their own emotions and experiences, and is not directly related to adapting behaviour in social situations. Option C (affective sensitivity) refers to the degree to which individuals are attuned to and able to perceive the emotions of others, but does not necessarily indicate adaptability to social situations. Option D (self-perception) refers to individuals' inference-making about their own attitudes, based on their behaviours and situational factors. This is not directly related to adapting behaviour in social situations.
