The self on the Net: The joint effect of self-construal and public self-consciousness on positive self-presentation in online social networking among South Korean college students

作者:

Highlights:

• We examined possible predictors of positive self-presentation (PSP) on Facebook.

• We examined the interplaying role of self-construal and public self-consciousness.

• Data came from college-age Facebook users in South Korea.

• Findings were consistent across two studies: survey and experiment.

• Interdependent self-construal and public self-consciousness had an interaction effect on PSP.
