Social Self-Monitoring Scale Test

This measure is used to evaluate individual differences in the degree to which a person monitors and adjusts self-presentation across interpersonal contexts. The Social Self-Monitoring Scale is administered as a brief self-report inventory intended to capture responsiveness to situational cues and tendencies to modify behavior to manage impressions.

It includes 25 items and typically requires about 5 minutes to complete. Scores are generally interpreted as reflecting relative levels of social self-regulation, which may be considered in case formulation or research examining interpersonal functioning, communication style, and context-dependent behavior. The Social Self-Monitoring Scale should be interpreted in conjunction with clinical interview data and other relevant assessment information.
