Social Networking
Defined
“web-based services that allow individuals to (1) construct a public
or semi-public profile within a bounded system, (2) articulate a list
of other users with whom they share a connection, and (3) view
and traverse their list of connections and those made by others
within the system.”
(boyd & Ellison, 2007)

Photos, videos and any other visual aids
Thoughts & feelings
Method:
Join a social networking site –Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, etc., if you haven’t already. Add a handful of friends and stir. Season with a little personality. Upload photos, videos and any other visual aids to assist in your profile’s development. Whisk in your thoughts & feelings into multiple status updates. Voila!

A key ingredient to social networking is...
Or
Impression Management
![Page 8: Production Project](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a328c71a28ab39468b467f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Social networking & impression management
go hand in hand.
![Page 9: Production Project](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a328c71a28ab39468b467f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Impression Management:
Refers to the process of consciously controlling information in order to lead others’ opinions or perceptions
in favour of personal or social goals.
We could call this, ‘self PR?’
![Page 10: Production Project](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a328c71a28ab39468b467f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
When we construct a
profile on our social
networking site, we are
controlling what
information we want
people to know about
ourselves; we are
managing the
impression we make on
other people.
![Page 11: Production Project](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a328c71a28ab39468b467f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Social media endorses impression management.
![Page 12: Production Project](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a328c71a28ab39468b467f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
How
![Page 13: Production Project](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a328c71a28ab39468b467f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The process of collating information to
present in your personal profile is called
impression management.
“Profiles tell us how people choose to
portray themselves when asked explicitly to
do so.”
(Barash, et al., 2010)
![Page 14: Production Project](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a328c71a28ab39468b467f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
“By looking at others’ profiles, teens get a sense of what types of presentations are socially appropriate; others’ profiles provide critical cues about what to present on their own profile”.
(boyd, 2007)
![Page 15: Production Project](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a328c71a28ab39468b467f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Learning how to manage impressions is a
valuable social skill acquired only through
experience. This process begins as
children and further develops as adults.
(boyd, 2007)
![Page 16: Production Project](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a328c71a28ab39468b467f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
As social networks are still a relatively new
technology, the process of impression
management within these sites is still a
new concept.
![Page 17: Production Project](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a328c71a28ab39468b467f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
In the context of social networking
sites, body language and tone of voice are
not immediately visible and the skills
people need to interpret situations
and manage impressions are
different.
(boyd, 2007)
![Page 18: Production Project](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a328c71a28ab39468b467f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Although we try to manage impressions, often
people may misinterpret what we are trying to
convey.
![Page 19: Production Project](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a328c71a28ab39468b467f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
When we post status updates or tweets, we encode a
certain message we wish to portray.
![Page 20: Production Project](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a328c71a28ab39468b467f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
However, our declared friends may
decode our message in the
unintended way.
![Page 21: Production Project](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a328c71a28ab39468b467f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
There are 5 identified dimensions
of impression management.
(Barash, et al., 2010)
![Page 22: Production Project](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a328c71a28ab39468b467f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Ingratiation
A conscious attempt to beautify or perfect one’s image in the eyes of another.
![Page 23: Production Project](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a328c71a28ab39468b467f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
2Intimidation
Enough said...
![Page 24: Production Project](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a328c71a28ab39468b467f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Self-promotion
![Page 25: Production Project](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a328c71a28ab39468b467f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Exemplification (appearing
virtuous)
![Page 26: Production Project](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a328c71a28ab39468b467f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Supplication (looking weak to engender help)
![Page 27: Production Project](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a328c71a28ab39468b467f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Another key ingredient to social networking is...
FRIENDS!!!!!
![Page 28: Production Project](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a328c71a28ab39468b467f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Facebook friends, or friends in any other
social networking site, interact with, and
provide feedback to your profile and
postings.
![Page 29: Production Project](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a328c71a28ab39468b467f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Golder, et al.
recently conducted
a study on Facebook
and found that
users only ‘poke’
and message a small
number of people,
despite the large
amount of declared
‘Facebook friends’.
(Golder, et al., 2007: Huberman, et al. 2009)
![Page 30: Production Project](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a328c71a28ab39468b467f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
So why all the friends, if you aren’t
going to interact with them?
![Page 31: Production Project](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a328c71a28ab39468b467f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
It all has to do with popularity,
self-esteem and acceptance. The
more friends we declare on our
profile, the cooler we look...
...or so we like to think!
![Page 32: Production Project](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a328c71a28ab39468b467f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
This then leads us to self-esteem!
![Page 33: Production Project](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a328c71a28ab39468b467f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Yes, self-esteem issues are present in online
social networks as well. Sorry people, we
can’t escape them!
![Page 34: Production Project](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a328c71a28ab39468b467f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Research has found self-
esteem levels in adolescence
who social network are
directly related to the tone of
responses received to
information posted on
personal profiles...
(Pempek et al., 2009)
![Page 35: Production Project](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a328c71a28ab39468b467f/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
As such, adolescence groups engage with
social networking sites to gauge peer opinions
of themselves and to seek peer acceptance
which ultimately leads to the formation of one’s
identity.
(Pempek et al., 2009)
![Page 36: Production Project](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a328c71a28ab39468b467f/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Although, let’s face it, the cool
kids would never say, cool at
school.
By early 2006, many
considered
participation on the
key social network
site, MySpace, esse
ntial to being seen
as cool at school.”
(boyd, 2007, p.1)

![Page 37: Production Project](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a328c71a28ab39468b467f/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Did you know?
People who receive attention from multiple
people will post more often than people who
receive little attention.
(Huberman, et al. 2009)
![Page 38: Production Project](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a328c71a28ab39468b467f/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
As a result, people with more declared friendswill network more frequently.
This can be likened to life outside of social media, those who have more friends will socialise more, than those who do not.

And there you have it.
Social networking online is
here to stay.
Although there are so many deeper
elements to social networking, at the end
of the day the beauty is, communicating
with friends is now easier than ever.
