Previous issue date: 2015-11-19 / This thesis aims to explore the concept of impression management from the financial analysts’ point of view. Impression management is the definition of the act of an agent manipulating an impression that another person have of this agent, in the context of this thesis it happens when a company make graphics to disclosure financial-accounting information in order to manipulate the market’s perception of their performance. Three types of impression management were analyzed: presentation enhancement (color manipulation), measurement distortion (scale manipulation) and selectivity (the disclosure of positive information only). While presentation enhancement improved only the most impulsive financial analysts’ perception of firm’s performance, the measurement distortion improved the perception of performance for both groups of financial analysts (impulsive and reflective). Finally, selectivity improved the financial analysts’ perception of firm’s performance for both groups (impulsive and reflective), although impulsive financial analysts assigned lower ratings when compared to their reflective peers, on average, to a hypothetical company. / Esta dissertação tem como alvo explorar o impression management (gerenciamento de impressão) do ponto de vista dos analistas financeiros. O gerenciamento de impressão acontece quando alguém tenta manipular a impressão de terceiros quanto à sua pessoa, no âmbito desta dissertação ele acontece quando uma empresa manipula gráficos com informações financeirocontábeis para manipular a impressão do mercado quanto à sua performance. Foram analisados três tipos de gerenciamento de impressão: presentation enhancement (manipulação de cores), measurement distortion (manipulação de escalas) e selectivity (divulgação apenas de informações positivas). Enquanto o presentation enhancement melhorou a percepção de performance apenas para os analistas financeiros mais impulsivos, o measurement distortion melhorou a percepção de performance para ambos os grupos de analistas (impulsivos e reflexivos). E, por fim, selectivity melhorou a percepção de performance para ambos os grupos de analistas (impulsivos e reflexivos), porém analistas impulsivos deram menores ratings em média do que os reflexivos para a empresa hipotética deste estudo.
