Self-monitoring is the degree to which someone is able to adjust his or her behavior in response to external factors. Self-awareness refers to the ability to recognize and understand one's own emotions and behaviors. Selfishness is a personality trait characterized by a focus on one's own self-interest and personal gain. Locus of control refers to an individual's belief about the causes of events in his or her life (internal vs. external).
