Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sarah's ability to change her behavior depending on the situation suggests that she is high in self-monitoring. Self-monitoring is the degree to which people are capable of monitoring their own behavior and adjusting it to fit social situations. Lower self-monitors tend to behave consistently across situations, while higher self-monitors are more adaptable and flexible in their behavior. This does not necessarily indicate anything about self-esteem, Machiavellianism, or the need for affiliation.
