This study examines the self-monitoring tendency’s role in communication
campaign message effects. Analysis of survey data in a charity campaign
context indicates that high self-monitors evaluate the charity campaign
message more favorably than low self-monitors. In addition, perceived
message effectiveness and presumed media influence are significantly
associated with charitable behavior intention only among high selfmonitors.
The findings highlight the importance of understanding
individual differences for designing campaign messages and predicting
their effects more effectively.
