Measures of impression management have yet to incorporate two-factor models of person perception. The 2 primary factors are often labeled agency and communion. In Study 1, we assembled a new measure of impression management—the Bidimensional Impression Management Index (BIMI): It comprises 2 subscales designed specifically to tap agentic and communal content. Both subscales showed adequate alpha reliabilities under both honest and faking conditions. In Study 2, the BIMI was cross-validated in a new sample: The subscales remained relatively independent, and their reliabilities remained solid. A coherent pattern of personality correlates also supported the validities of both subscales. In Study 3, the differential sensitivity of the 2 subscales was demonstrated by manipulating the job type in simulated job applications. Implications and applications of the BIMI are discussed.
印象管理的测量方法尚未纳入人际知觉的双因素模型。这两个主要因素通常被标记为能动性和共融性。在研究1中，我们编制了一种新的印象管理测量方法——二维印象管理指数（BIMI）：它由两个专门设计用于挖掘能动性和共融性内容的子量表组成。在诚实和伪装条件下，两个子量表都显示出足够的阿尔法信度。在研究2中，BIMI在一个新样本中进行了交叉验证：子量表保持相对独立，其信度依然可靠。人格相关性的连贯模式也支持了两个子量表的效度。在研究3中，通过在模拟求职申请中操纵工作类型，证明了两个子量表的差异敏感性。讨论了BIMI的意义和应用。
