Question 1

Joe sees himself as shy,introverted,and not very fun.Using self-verification theory,explain how Joe would want other people to view him.

Accepted Answer

According to self-verification theory, Joe would want other people to view him in a way that aligns with his own self-perception. This means that he would seek out confirmation from others that he is indeed shy, introverted, and not very fun. He may feel more comfortable and secure when others see him in the same way that he sees himself, as it validates his own beliefs about his personality. This could lead Joe to seek out relationships and interactions with people who reinforce his self-perception, and he may be less interested in forming connections with individuals who see him differently. Ultimately, Joe's desire for self-verification may influence the types of relationships he forms and the way he presents himself to others.
