| Abstract | Scott Highhouse, Advisor This study looked at how subordinates’ impression management behaviors would influence supervisor perceptions of subordinates’ warmth and competence, using gender as a potential moderator. To compare with impression management in western culture that typically intends to look better, we examined how Chinese supervisors viewed subordinates when subordinates intentionally impression managed to look worse than they actually were. Results showed that, whereas acting modestly were significantly and positively related with supervisor ratings of both warmth and competence, acting as a supplicant had a significantly negative effect on supervisor rating of warmth and competence. In addition, whereas modesty contributed more to predict competence evaluation, supplication contributed more to the prediction of warmth evaluation. However, gender did not show significant moderating effect on these relationships. This research provided a unique perspective to consider impression management behaviors along with the specific cultural norms and values. |
