- Abstract
- Temporal processes affect a number of interpersonal phenomena. Four studies examine the role of time in impression management. Specifically, it is predicted that people use indirect self-presentation more and rate it as more effective in the distant future versus near future. The opposite pattern is predicted for direct self-presentation. Study 1 demonstrates this effect using scenario methodology. Study 2 conceptually "reverses" the effect by manipulating impression management and measuring subjective temporal appraisal. Study 3 shows that minimal connections (in this case a shared birthday) are used more in the distant versus near future. Study 4 shows the predicted effect using a real time manipulation. Taken together, these studies demonstrate that time affects both the use and perceived effectiveness of impression management. Future research possibilities are discussed.
