Abstract
Two samples of subjects (a sample of undergraduate students and a sample from the general population) filled out the Self-Monitoring Scale (Snyder, 1974) and the NEO-PI (Costa & McCrae, 1985). The results showed an acquisitive self-monitoring pattern associated with Extraversion and Openness to Experience, and a defensive self-monitoring pattern associated with Neuroticism. These results support previous research which has identified two styles of self-presentation (acquisitive vs. defensive) and confirm the usefulness of the NEO-PI as a broad instrument for research in personality.
