Impression management

Impression management is the idea that people change their behavior in order to give cues to others about how they want others to see them.  This happens all the time in our social world- when we meet new people, when we want to make a good impression on a first date or job interview, or when we want to get people to do what we want!

For this activity, observe someone doing impression management.  This works well when you observe someone in a public space, especially a service position.  Use the activity sheet below to take notes on how they are doing front-stage and back-stage behavior.

Analyze a person doing impression management Impression management is the idea that people change their behavior in order to give cues to others about how they want others to see them. This happens all the time in our social worldwhen we meet new people, when we want to make a good impression on a first date or job interview, or when we want to get people to do what we want! For this activity, observe a person doing impression management (10 minutes or so should be sufficient). An easy subject for this assignment is someone working in a service position, such as retail or food service. Although, it is possible to engage in impression management in any space. Then, write a reflection on the following two questions. 1. Describe the situation and various ways in which the person is actively doing impression management (front stage behavior). How are they using cues- clothing, body language, voice intonation, scripted language, facial expressions, etc- to make an impression. What type of impression are they trying to make? And are they successful? 2. In what ways are they engaging back stage behavior? How does their backstage behavior influence the type of impression they are trying to make?
