Abstract

Consciously or unconsciously, people control impressions others receive of them. The author adapts Goffman's discussion of this idea to a role analysis of the Extension specialist and his problems. Through observation and interviews in Illinois, the specialist's relationships with agents, other specialists, research contacts, and administrators are examined. By use of the theatrical interpretation of impression management the specialist is shown to be, among other things, very county-conscious.
