    Digital Self

    Uploaded by

    nicoleann
    This document discusses how people present themselves online through digital selves and avatars. It explores several concepts: 1) How attachments to virtual possessions and avatars allow for multiple online selves and self-revelation. 2) How sharing online leads to a loss of control over possessions but a sense of shared place. 3) How people construct and affirm their selves online through building extended selves and digital cues about their past.

    Self presentation is behavior that attempts to
    convey some information about oneself or some image of
    oneself to other people.

    • These behaviors are activated by the evaluative presence


    of other people & by others’ knowledge of one’s behavior.

    • In new situations, many people would like to impress &


    become self conscious.

    • People behave in ways designed to create a favorable


    impression or even to one’s ideals.

    • Humans are social animals & regulate our behavior to fit in


    the world or adjust it to the impression that we desire.
    • Pleasing the audience – the type of self
    presentation which tries to match the self to the audience’s
    expectations and preferences.

    • Self construction – this type of self presentation


    tries to match oneself to one’s own ideal self. The
    expression of the audience-pleasing motive varies across
    situations.
    Higgins (1987) argues that there are three domains
    of the self: the actual self, the ideal self and the
    ought self.

    Actual self – this refers to the attributes an individual possesses.

    Ideal self – this refers to the attributes an individual would ideally


    possess.

    Ought self – this refers to the attributes an individual ought to


    possess.
