“…That people often try deliberately to convey particular impressions of them-selves when they first meet other people (especially people they regard as powerful or attractive) is not really in doubt. A study conducted in bars and restaurants cleverly captured a bit of this purposeful self-presentation as it occurs in newly developing relationships (Daly, Hogg, Sacks, Smith, & Zimring, 1983). Men and women were unobtrusively observed in restrooms, and the amount of time they spent preening (fixing their hair, straightening their clothes, looking at themselves in the mirror) was recorded.…”

Because of special characteristics of nonverbal behaviors (e.g., they can be difficult to suppress, they are more accessible to the people who observe them than to the people who produce them), the intention to produce a particular nonverbal expression for self-presentational purposes cannot always be successfully translated into the actual production of that expression. The literatures on people's skills at using their nonverbal behaviors to feign internal states and to deceive are reviewed as they pertain to the question of whether people can overcome the many constraints on the translation of their intentions into expressions. The issue of whether people's deliberate attempts to regulate their nonverbal behaviors can be detected by others is also considered.

“…Saltzberg and Chrisler (1995) wrote that older women may believe that the only way to remain attractive in youth-oriented Western society is to prevent the development of any sign of aging. These gender differences in involvement in appearance management have been consistently found with other generations and age groups (Aune & Aune, 1994;Cash et al, 1986;Daly et al, 1983).…”

“…Gender differences in appearance management were found in Daly, Hogg, Sacks, Smith, and Zimring's (1983) study such that women spent more time managing their appearance than did men. Cash and Brown (1989) also found that women were more appearance oriented than were men.…”

“…In humans, self-grooming occurs as a form of impression management to improve one's physical appearance and social perception. For example, Daly et al [2] studied grooming (defined as grooming one's hair, straightening one's clothes and gazing at oneself in the mirror) in people dining in a restaurant. They demonstrated that grooming occurred significantly more often in members of a couple in the early stages of dating compared to married or close friend couples, and couples who were established daters.…”
