"profiling Addiction," "self-PR", "self-exposure" - do research on the on self-representation on the Internet, so a fall in the first place the most negative associations on this topic. Myself, I am the self-representation in social networks very critical of themselves and also try to disclose only the minimum information from me. However: To what extent is it even possible in social networks like Facebook to communicate without having to present themselves? Self-representation must be a bad thing at all? Below I will try to organize my thoughts on this subject a little.
Wikipedia defines self-portrayal as the "sum of all conscious actions that will affect the appearance of a person or group of persons", which is "aimed at the greatest possible control of public perception." This may be true, but This definition is sufficient to look not to the particular attributes accomplished self-representation. In my opinion it is not only the conscious actions that make up the self-representation. A person who fights against excessive self-promotion and in his profile so low there is very little information is, are, in effect represent myself - even though her this is not immediately apparent. It almost seems as could be the first known Paul Watzlawick's axiom of communication theory, "You can not not communicate" also apply to social networks: One can not not constitute in itself. This relates to an affirmative position against self-presentations as well as an "anti" attitude.
chooses a different, perhaps more appropriate definition of self-representation Christopher Grieser: "self-expression could therefore be defined as the unauthorized release of information associated with the individual."
clothes, hairstyle, music tastes, political ... in the dealing with real social interaction plays self-presentation without doubt a major role. Why so this should not be so in the Internet? Can neglect the discussion in the self-representation on the Internet so as "not so bad"? That self-representation, the communication on the Internet easier, I do like Christopher Grieser. However, can the realities of "real" social interaction is not fully transferred to the virtual world. "The Internet never forgets," as formulated privacy advocates always welcome. With the release of private information, so caution is called for. But privacy is of course another very different chapter ...
