Harre, R. Ency. dict. of psych., 1983: p. 561 ("A concept often used synonymously with impression-management to refer to the numerous strategies that people employ to control and manage their outward images and the impressions of themselves which they present to other people. William James, C.H. Cooley, and G.H. Mead all stressed the idea that in social discourse and interaction people present different selves to different people usually to show their best profile or make a good impression.")
