Abstract

Students completed questions concerning self-presentation to familiar targets and measures on various interpersonal factors. Results indicate that lack of predictability of other (trust) predicted engaging in self-presentation, and this was moderated by friendship-contingent self-esteem. We may self-present in an attempt to maintain our relationship with our interaction partner.
