The Philippines today has only emerged in the
1980s after over three centuries colonization of the
Spaniards. Meanwhile, the Japanese only occurred in

foundation to the contemporary Filipino identity and
culture. Filipino have truly developed an identity of
their own? or we still living in the shadow of our
colonial friends.

characteristics are not the only factors that make a
person's national identity. The important of values and
traits are set apart ne nationality from the other. This

I, ME, MYSELF AND MY USER ID ONLINE IDENTITY
The Digital Self is a mask that we put on to
draw in the innovative world. With the digital
technologies such as web pages, online
games, virtual worlds social media,
cellphones, internet, self-extension is
extensive.
24
Any objects that one’s possess can truly be
extend the self, as when an instrument or
weapon enables us to get things done of
which we would somehow be unable.
Belongingness can likewise emblematically
extend self.
I, ME, MYSELF AND MY USER ID ONLINE IDENTITY

Sartre stated and explained that the reason we want to have something is to enlarge our sense
of self and that the only way we can know who we are is observing what we have

25
I, ME, MYSELF AND MY USER ID ONLINE IDENTITY

Belk (1988) presented the concept of the extended self:

1. Dematerialization
2. Reembodiment
3. Sharing
4. Co-construction of Self
Distributed Memory

26
I, ME, MYSELF AND MY USER ID ONLINE IDENTITY

This reasonable refresh looks to renew the idea, consolidate the effects of digitalization, and
give a comprehension of consumer feeling of self in the present innovative condition. It is
essentially a work in advance, for the computerized condition and our conduct inside it keep
on evolving. Be that as it may, some vital changes are now certain.

I, ME, MYSELF AND MY USER ID ONLINE IDENTITY

28
SELECTIVE PRESENTATION AND IMPRESSION MANAGEMENT

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 and by the others’ knowledge of one’s behavior . In new situations, many people
would like to impress and become self-conscious. People have behaved in ways designed to
create favorable impression or even to one’s ideals

29
SELECTIVE PRESENTATION AND IMPRESSION MANAGEMENT

TWO TYPES OF SELF-PRESENTATION

1. Pleasing the audience – This type of self-presentation which try to match self to the
audience’s expectations and preferences
2. 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.

30
SELECTIVE PRESENTATION AND IMPRESSION MANAGEMENT

MULTIPLE ASPECTS OF SELF

Higgins (1987) argues that there are three domains of self and that is the following:
1. Actual Self – This refers to the attributes an individual possesses.
2. Ideal Self – This refers to the attributes an individual would ideally possess.
3. Ought Self – This refers to the attributes an individual ought to possess

 IMPACT OF ONLINE INTERACTION ON SELF

COMPUTER-MEDIATED COMMUNICATION
It encompasses human communication involving exchanges through various platforms
such as text, audio and/or video messages. A CMC interaction occurs through various types of
networking technology and software, including email, Internet Relay Chat (IRC), instant
messaging, Usenet and mailing list servers. Dutton (1996) points out, that technology can work
ways – open or close social choices. Individual shape the impact of technology has on their lives by
choosing which technology to use and how to use it.

33
 BOUNDARIES OF SELF ONLINE

PRIVATE SELF VS PUBLIC SELF

PUBLIC SELF is the parts of a person that he/she decides to show to the world. How a
person want people to view him/her and how he/she act around others.
- It is a framework of a human nature in order to hide their original self from others.

PRIVATE SELF a person's private self is his/her true self.

34
 BOUNDARIES OF SELF ONLINE

PERSONAL/INDIVIDUAL VS SOCIAL IDENTITY ONLINE

PERSONAL IDENTITY refers to self-categories which define the individual as a unique

person in terms of their individual differences from other (ingroup) persons.
SOCIAL IDENTITY refers to the social categorical self (e.g., "us" versus "them", ingroup
versus outgroup, us women, men, whites, blacks, etc.).

35
 BOUNDARIES OF SELF ONLINE

 The line between offline and online self has become blurred. Since people
nowadays are becoming more connected digitally, self-identify is becoming more
fashioned in transmedia paradigm. In the present culture of constant connectivity,
the Internet is coordinated in our lives a=with the end goal that the experience of
being on the web is subjectively not quiet the same as before.
