我们在6个样本(N=3,615)中调查了自我监控的一般因素的证据。结果表明，存在两个相对正交的主因子(一般因子A和B)。一般因素A可能解释了该量表的大部分经验效度，它与社交冲动性的传统人格维度(如表现欲、社交能力和外向)有很强的相关性。一般因子B是早先发现的另一种定向因子的弱化版本，它与害羞呈正相关，与自尊呈负相关。此外，还对修订后的18个项目的自我监控量表进行了分析，考察了它对一般因素A的强化程度、它与原始版本的关系、它的因素结构以及与其他人格测量的相关性。我们讨论了自我监控结构的三个缺陷：它假设社会和个人取向是两极的，它假设在自我监控量表上得分较高的人是一致的，以及它缺乏关于意向性在自我表征过程中的作用的清晰度。我们认为，现在是时候超越Snyder(1987)提出的结构，更全面地研究自我呈现和社会行为了。
We investigated the evidence for a general factor of self-monitoring in six samples (N= 3,615). The results indicate the presence of two, relatively orthogonal, major factors (General Factors A and B). General Factor A, which presumably accounts for most of the empirical validity of the scale, correlated strongly with measures of the traditional personality dimension of social surgency such as exhibitionism, social potency, and extraversion. General Factor B is a weakened version of an earlier identified Other-Directedness factor, and it correlated positively with shyness and negatively with self-esteem. Additional analyses examined the 18-item revision of the Self-Monitoring Scale in terms of the extent to which it strengthens General Factor A, its relationship to the original version, its factor structure, and correlations with other personality measures. We discuss three flaws in the construct of self-monitoring: its assumption of the bipolarity of social and personal orientations, its assumption of uniformity among those who score high on the Self-Monitoring Scale, and its lack of clarity concerning the role of intentionality in self-presentational processes. We suggest that it is time to move beyond the construct presented by Snyder (1987) toward a more comprehensive investigation of self-presentation and social behavior.
