Scores on a Greek translation of the Revised Self-monitoring Scale were very highly correlated with those on the English version among 36 bilingual undergraduate Greek university students. For a sample of 127 undergraduate women in Greece coefficient alpha for Factor A. Ability to Modify Self-presentation was .63, and for Factor B. Sensitivity to the Expressive Behavior of Others was .65 when Item 4 was deleted. Scores for both Factor A and Factor B were uncorrelated with age for the Greek students. The translation appears sufficiently reliable to warrant use with Greek individuals.
