Question

As psychologist Dan McAdams has suggested, each of us develops a way of presenting ourselves to others that is based on our self-concept but is also influenced by other people. In this sense, image management is collaborative. If others accept the image you portray, they will tend to behave in ways that encourage that image. If others don't accept that image of you, however, they may treat you as less credible or as untrustworthy.
