Selective Self- presentation & impression Management

What kind of person do you want others to think of you?

How do you select what part of yourself to present
online?
 RECALL

our beliefs of how other people perceive us define our

social self.
We naturally create a social identity to achieve a percieved
belongingness to a certain group.
As a result, we can find ourselves defining our sense of
being based on the other people's validation.

not only about wanting to
share about our lives.
It may also be about what is
acceptable and impressive to
the people whom we want to
get approval from.

The disembodiment
hypothesis suggests that
through the internet,
individuals are able to allow
the mind to engage in social
activities while the body is
static.
People don't need to
conform to an assigned
gender when they are
online.
Therefore, they are free to
perform, communicate, and
act on the basis of their
true gender identity.

established that online social media platforms
interactions have being public, and the
importance of setting

this post?

I'm trying to live by?
Are there people involved in my post?
What impact will this have on them?
What will this post tell me about who
I am when I see it in a Throwback years
from now?
 Conclusion/Summary
Our establishment of online identity is a
process of selective self-presentation
and impression management.
Our social identity focuses on our sense
of being based on perceived
belongingness to a group.
Our online interactions have personal
and social impacts on us and the society
we live in.
Conclusion/Summary
Once we post something
online, it becomes accessible
to the public.
We should be smart and
reflect on the purpose and
effects of posts before
putting them in public.
