两项研究进行了评估的有效性的万维网（WWW）措施的自我监控。在研究1中，Usenet新闻组可能会被高和低自我监控者阅读，并比较了参与者在某种形式的自我展示（使用手柄或屏幕名称）可能受到自我监控倾向影响的程度。在高度自我监控的新闻组中，句柄的使用频率明显更高，这支持了所做的区分。在研究2中，通过这些新闻组招募的参与者完成了万维网介导的测试。那些来自高自我监控组的人得分明显更高。自我监控行为的自我报告也反映了量表上的分数。结果被解释为证明所使用的工具和标准组为导向的方法在互联网为媒介的研究的可行性的结构效度。
Two studies were performed to assess the validity of a World-Wide Web (WWW) measure of self-monitoring. In Study 1, Usenet Newsgroups likely to be read by high and low self-monitors were identified and a comparison was made of the extent to which contributors engaged in a form of self-presentation (use of handles or screen names) likely to be influenced by self-monitoring tendencies. Handles were used significantly more frequently in the high self-monitoring Newsgroups, supporting the distinction made. In Study 2, participants recruited through these sets of Newsgroups completed the WWW-mediated test. Those from the high self-monitoring groups scored significantly higher. Self-reports of self-monitoring behavior also reflected scores on the scale. The results are interpreted as demonstrating the construct validity of the instrument used and the viability of criterion-group-oriented methods in Internet-mediated research.
