| description | The study aims to examine how individuals present their selves on Facebook and how
those self-presentations are related to several dimensions of their authenticity (self-alienation,
acceptance of external influence and authentic life) and to their well-being (self-esteem and life
satisfaction). Data were collected from 180 participants (94 students and 86 adults). In both
samples, people were found to use Facebook mostly for real-self presentations, followed by the
presentations for self-exploration, and next, followed by the presentations for self-deception.
Various forms of self-presentations were found to be related to life satisfaction and self-esteem
only in the student sample. Among students, the real and the exploratory self-presentations on
Facebook were positively associated with life satisfaction, while deceptive self-presentation on
Facebook was negatively associated with self-esteem. Besides, self-deception on Facebook was
related to the different aspects of authenticity in two different samples: It was positively related
to self-alienation and to the acceptance of external influence among students, and negatively
related to the authentic life among adults. |
