The Self in the
Digital World
Self-presentation is the process of
controlling how one is perceived by other
people and is the key to relationship
inception and development.
Personal Identity is the interpersonal level
of self which differentiates the individual
as unique from others.

Social identity is the level of self whereby


the individual is identified by his/ her group
membership
Oversharing happens when people become unaware of the
extent of information they share online. They forget to
delineate what can be shared online and what should not.

The phenomenon fear of missing out happens when people


would like to remain updated and they keep on sharing
themselves online because it adds a sense of confidence at
their end especially if others like and share their posts.

Disinhibition effect – the lack of face-to-face meeting,


together with feelings of anonymity and invisibility gives
people the freedom for self-disclosure but can also flame
others and may cause conflict sometimes.

People are more inclined to show their own personalities via


online channels.
