Most researchers have conceptualized impression management as something we do for our self. Some people, however, perform impression management for other people. The present research created and validated the Other-Monitoring Scale (OMS): a 30-item individual difference measure of the attentional, affective, and cognitive dynamics involved with managing the impression of a significant other.

520 $a Most researchers have conceptualized impression management as something we do for our self. Some people, however, perform impression management for other people. The present research created and validated the Other-Monitoring Scale (OMS): a 30-item individual difference measure of the attentional, affective, and cognitive dynamics involved with managing the impression of a significant other.
520 $a Upon construction, the OMS was completed by participants in two samples (N = 524). Participants also read hypothetical scenarios about their partner being in an impression management predicament (failing a quiz, being sloppy, dressing inappropriately, having bad breath, unintentionally shoplifting, and appearing inebriated). Each used 7-point rating scales to estimate how much they would help their partner repair their impression in each scenario. The 30-item OMS correlated highly with an aggregate of the 6 impression repair variables $( r=.51). $ Each of the OMS subscales correlated with the impression repair behaviors as well (r's =.28 to.50).
520 $a Principle components analyses of the OMS scores revealed three content-based components: Physical Appearance, Competence, and Exemplification. The OMS was internally consistent (Cronbach's alpha =.82).
520 $a Participants in Sample 2 (N = 232) completed several personality scales. The OMS correlated positively with measures of extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, openness, fear of negative evaluation, other-oriented perfectionism, dominance, the desire to control, private and public self-consciousness, problem-focused coping, and social skill. The OMS correlated negatively with a measure of emotion-focused coping. The OMS did not correlate with measures of neuroticism, self-monitoring, social desirability, or embarrassability.
520 $a A multiple regression using the personality measures to predict the OMS scores revealed that measures of interpersonal warmth, such as agreeableness and extraversion, along with measures of dominance and control, accounted for unique variance in other-monitoring propensity. This suggests that at least two motives--warmth and control--underlie other-monitoring behavior. A second multiple regression revealed that the OMS was the strongest predictor of impression repair, controlling for the 16 personality variables mentioned. Self-monitoring and social desirability accounted for additional variance in impression repair behavior. Implications of other-monitoring for close relationship maintenance are discussed.
