Abstract
This study examined for the first time the relationships between self-monitoring, sincerity, and emotional
manipulation, by investigating whether sensitivity to social cues and to appropriate emotional
expression would facilitate the use of emotion in malevolent contexts. Participants (N = 170 student
and community members) completed online measures of self-monitoring, sincerity, and emotional
manipulation in a cross-sectional, correlational design. As predicted, high self-monitoring (of self-presentation)
and low sincerity were significantly associated with emotional manipulation. Lower levels of conscientiousness
and agreeableness also predicted emotional manipulation. Although the current research
is exploratory, it is concluded that attention to, and control of, emotional expression, in combination with
an insincere approach, are central to emotional manipulation.
