The paper aims to present the taxonomies of self-presentation tactics, the instruments for investigating and measuring the forms of self-presentation, as well as the determinants of self-presentation. The paper presents and describes the taxonomies of self-presentation tactics developed by Jones and Pittman (1982), Tedeschi (1981), Tedeschi, Lindskold and Rosenfeld (1985), Arkin (1981) and Schültz (1998). Moreover, eight instruments examining and measuring the forms of self-presentation in different social situations were introduced. We also presented numerous scholars’ results related to the determinants of self-presentation, which indicate that self-presentation behavior is determined by one’s personal characteristics (age, gender, level of self-esteem, self-perception, private and public self -awareness, and social anxiety), by the characteristics of tThe paper aims to present the taxonomies of self-presentation tactics, the instruments for investigating and measuring the forms of self-presentation, as well as the determinants of self-presentation.
