This study examined the developmental tendencies of self-monitoring level and sex-role type by age. The subjects consisted of 232 students, who were composed of middle school students(195) in early adolescence and college students(95) in late adolescence. The subjects completed SMS(Self-Monitoring Scale) and KSRI(Korean Sex Role Inventory). Based on median splits, subjects were classified as androgynous, masculine, feminine, and undifferentiated. The results were as follows:There was a significant difference in self-monitoring scores of middle school students and college students(p<.001).In the sex-role types, chi-square test yielded a significant difference(p<.05). And there was a significant difference in self-monitoring scores of four sex role types(P<.o5). The self-monitor-ing scones of androgyny were higher than those of three groups(masculine, feminine, undifferentiated).
