The self-presentational goal of appearing likable could interfere with the goals of appearing competent and of conveying status and power
Describe each goal and list and then give an example of how strategies designed to increase liking could undermine each of the other two goals.
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Possible conflicts between appearing likable and appearing competent: women's self-presentational dilemma; projecting modesty may undermine the perception of one's competence because one can't claim both modesty and competence; projecting modesty may prevent the use of the trappings of competence; creating similarity with equals may prevent one from conveying status and power.
Possible conflicts between appearing likable and conveying status and power: women's self-presentation dilemma applies here as well; projecting modesty may prevent the use of the trappings of status and power; projecting modesty may prevent one from claiming associations with powerful or high status individuals.
