| Abstract: | Examined the self-presentation of academic achievement in an interactional context with 73 male and 69 female college freshmen. Describing their own achievement when faced with a boastful peer, women were less comfortable in predicting their own grade point averages. Other gender differences are discussed. (SLD) |
