SELECTIVE SELF-PRESENTATION AND MANAGEMENT
By managing and directing information in social interactions, impression management refers to the
goal-directed conscious or unconscious endeavor to change how other people see a certain
person, object, or event.
Typically, people engage in impression management in order to accomplish objectives that
depend on their having a desirable public image. Self-presentation is the term for this action.
Self-presentation is the conscious or unconscious process by which individuals attempt to manage
the perceptions that others have of them, according to sociology and social psychology.
One should aim to portray themselves in a way that will reflect how they want the person or group
they are dealing with to see them. The first impression is typically affected by this type of
management.
What is self-presentation?
Self-presentation is the act of attempting to control or influence how others (referred to as
the audience) see oneself. It entails expressing oneself and acting in a way that leaves the
impression one wants to leave. Impression management refers to a larger range of actions,
including self-presentation. The controlled display of information about many topics, including
information about other persons or events, is referred to as impression management. Information
about the self is explicitly referred to as self-presentation.

Impression Management Techniques

Suppressing Emotions
- Maintaining self-control (which we will identify with such practices as speaking briefly and
modestly).
Conforming to Situational Norms
- The performer follows agreed-upon rules for behavior in the organization.
Flattering Others
- The performer compliments the perceiver. This tactic works best when flattery is not
extreme and when it involves a dimension important to the perceiver.
Being Consistent
- The performer’s beliefs and behaviors are consistent. There is agreement between the
performer’s verbal and nonverbal behaviors.
BOUNDARIES OF THE SELF ONLINE

1. private VS. public
Private self online refers to the version of yourself that you present to a select group of people
online, typically close friends and family. In this context, you may be more authentic and reveal
more personal information that you would not share publicly. Your private self may include
opinions and thoughts that you might not share with the public, as well as personal details about
your life that you would only disclose to those closest to you.
Public self online, on the other hand, refers to the version of yourself that you present to the wider
online community. This includes your social media profiles, public forums, and other public-facing
online platforms. Your public self is generally more curated and may be filtered or edited to
present a certain image or persona to the world. This can include things like carefully selecting
photos and posts to showcase certain aspects of your life, avoiding controversial topics or
opinions, and projecting an overall image that is more socially acceptable or desirable.
In summary, the main difference between private self online and public self online is the level of
openness and authenticity. Private self online is typically more open and authentic, while public
self online tends to be more curated and filtered.
Establishing and maintaining boundaries of the self online is crucial for maintaining privacy, safety,
and mental well-being in the digital age. Some key reasons why setting boundaries online is
important:
1. Protecting Personal Information: Setting boundaries online helps protect your personal
information from being shared or used inappropriately. This can include things like avoiding
oversharing personal details, limiting access to your online accounts and profiles, and being
cautious about who you connect with online.
2. Maintaining Safety: Boundaries help ensure your safety online by allowing you to control who
has access to your information and by helping you avoid potentially harmful or risky situations. By
setting clear boundaries, you can reduce the likelihood of being cyberbullied, scammed, or stalked
online.
3. Fostering Healthy Relationships: Boundaries are essential for maintaining healthy relationships
online. Clear communication about expectations and boundaries can help prevent
misunderstandings and conflicts with others online, and can help you establish and maintain
positive and respectful relationships.
4. Managing Digital Overload: Boundaries also help you manage digital overload and maintain a
healthy balance between your online and offline lives. By setting limits on your screen time,
avoiding digital distractions, and prioritizing your mental and physical health, you can avoid
burnout and ensure that your online activities enhance rather than detract from your well-being.
Therefore, establishing and respecting boundaries of the self online is important for protecting
your privacy, safety, and well-being, as well as fostering healthy relationships and managing
digital overload.
2. personal/individual vs. social identity online

Personal/individual identity online refers to the digital representation of your unique personality,
traits, and characteristics. It includes the information you share about yourself online, such as your
name, age, hobbies, interests, and personal preferences. Your personal identity is often
expressed through your social media profiles, blog posts, comments, and other forms of online
content.
Social identity online, on the other hand, refers to the way in which you identify yourself in relation
to a larger social group or community. This can include things like your ethnicity, religion,
nationality, gender, sexuality, political views, or other aspects of your social identity that are
shaped by your interactions with others online. Your social identity is often expressed through your
online affiliations, social media groups, and the causes or issues you support or advocate for
online.
Both personal and social identity are important aspects of our online presence, and they can
influence how we interact with others online and how we are perceived by others. It's important to
be aware of the different aspects of our identity that we express online and how they may impact
our interactions and relationships in the digital world. By being mindful of our online identity and
being intentional about the content we share, we can cultivate a positive and authentic online
presence that reflects both our personal and social identity.
