Study Goals
• Why are motives for using multiple profiles?
• What strategies to people employ in managing multiple profiles?
• Is this an effective strategy?

Forms of Regulation
• Multiple identities in a single space

• Segmentation by site
• Different social media for different audiences

Concealment

Friend Network
• No Steps Significant
• People with less friends were less likely to go friends-only (411 vs 500, p=.003)

Adoption• Reconnection drives adoption and use
• Real names the norm, searching important
• Reconstruction of the life story
“[In Facebook] I will click on one of my friends and I will see two other people that I have not heard from in years and be able to get in touch with them and I think it’s a great thing for that.”
![Page 40: Making Sense of Social Network Sites](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051608/5458050fb1af9f33608b503f/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Fred Stutzman, [email protected]
Connections
• Networks are close; small in size
• Attention focused on “important” others
• Reconnections, old crushes
• Observing the extended family
• Attention shifts; the “dance” of reconnection
![Page 41: Making Sense of Social Network Sites](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051608/5458050fb1af9f33608b503f/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Fred Stutzman, [email protected]
Contexts
• Family, friends, reconnections and co-workers main cited contexts
• The “time gap” as unique boundary
• Lack of common ground
• Shifting norms and identities
• Bridging “different lives”
![Page 42: Making Sense of Social Network Sites](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051608/5458050fb1af9f33608b503f/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Support• SNS is a supportive place
• Emotional and informational support provisioned most commonly
“One of my nieces’ parents has been rather ill, and people have been just giving her messages of support. She’s someone who is regularly on Facebook and talking about her mother’s condition and the surgeries she’s had, and people were voicing support for how she was doing.”
![Page 43: Making Sense of Social Network Sites](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051608/5458050fb1af9f33608b503f/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Fred Stutzman, [email protected]
Asking for support?
• SNS is not a place where the sample goes for support
• Privacy; Multiple groups; Compromising disclosures
• Established modes for connection with supportive others
![Page 44: Making Sense of Social Network Sites](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051608/5458050fb1af9f33608b503f/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Fred Stutzman, [email protected]
Reciprocity• SNS is full of supportive givers; fewer
“askers”
• Users are willing to mobilize
“In other words posting on the Wall where all of my friends can see it – everyone on my friends list can see it – I would not do that. And that is because of this mix of people, different kinds of relationships.”
