The article by Richard D. Lennox and Raymond N. Wolfe revises Snyder's (1974) Self-Monitoring Scale, which exhibits a stable but different factor structure from the five-component theoretical framework it aims to measure. The authors describe sets of face-valid items that better approximate the theoretical structure and find that four of the five components are positively related to social anxiety. This suggests that the theory may be incompatible with effective social interaction, a key aspect of high self-monitoring. To address these issues, the authors present a 13-item Revised Self-Monitoring scale focusing on sensitivity to others' expressive behavior and the ability to modify self-presentation. Additionally, they introduce a 20-item Concern for Appropriateness scale to measure cross-situational variability and attention to social comparison information, which are not directly associated with social anxiety. Both scales have acceptable internal consistency and yield subscale scores. The revised scales provide a more accurate measure of self-monitoring and suggest that the original five-component structure is not fully supported by empirical evidence.The article by Richard D.
