DescriptionSocial interactions are an integral part of human nature (Leary, 2007). During interactions, how people present themselves to interaction partners (referred to as judges in the person perception literature) is determined by a multitude of influences such as personality, situational characteristics, and personal desired goals. Person perception research (i.e., what information we extract when we interact with another person, how we interpret the interaction, and how our interpretation influences our own behavior) and impression management research (i.e., the conscious and unconscious process of individuals controlling how others perceive them) has not been integrated in the literature prior to this study. The current study (N=100) integrates person perception and impression management by examining how individual differences in impression motivation and impression efficacy relates to presenting one’s personality to another individual during an interaction and one’s reflection of how they presented themselves following an interaction. The results suggest there is variability in how people desire to be perceived and think they were perceived when interacting with another person.
