The Difference Between Interpersonal Monitoring & Self-monitoring

Question

What is the difference between interpersonal monitoring and self-monitoring?

Answer

 

Interpersonal monitoring is the ability to read cues from one’s listener, that they do not understand what you are saying.  Self-monitoring is the ability to listen to one’s own speech, and realizing that what was spoken was incorrect.  Interpersonal monitoring would include listening to someone say, “I do not understand what you are saying” or having a puzzled look on their face. The speaker then realizes something has gone wrong with their message.  Self-monitoring would be listening to what you are saying as you are saying it, and then correcting the errors in the message.
