Contrast ingratiation tactics with self-deprecating tactics and explain why people find it useful to employ these tactics
What will be an ideal response?
Ingratiation involves flattering another person in order to make a good impression. Self-deprecation, on the other hand, involves implying that one is not as good as the person one is speaking with. This can involve communicating admiration or lowering that person's expectation of one's abilities. People employ these self-presentation tactics because they both attempt to reach the same end result: making a good impression on another person.
