"Researchers have long known that people cling to their personal biases more tightly when feeling threatened. After thinking about their own inevitable death, they become more patriotic, more religious and less tolerant of outsiders, studies find. When insulted, they profess more loyalty to friends — and when told they’ve done poorly on a trivia test, they even identify more strongly with their school’s winning teams. #implicit learning: k. gained without awareness #rain-imaging studies of people evaluating anomalies, or working out unsettling dilemmas, show that activity in an area called the anterior cingulate cortex spikes significantly. The more activation is recorded, the greater the motivation or ability to seek and correct errors in the real world #disorientation begets creative thinking. "

In psychology, the online disinhibition effect refers to the way people behave on the Internet with less restraint than in RL situations. The concept is related to the concept of online identity. #BENING DISHIBITION - catharsis effect; # TOXIC DISHIBITION- negative online behavior. # Suler names six primary factors behind why people sometimes act radically differently on the internet than when they do in normal face-to-face situations: 1.You don't know me- when you're anonymous, it provides a sense of protection. 2.You can't see me- when interacting with another person on the Internet is a username/ pseudonym may or may not have anything to do with the real person behind the keyboard. This allows for misrepresentation of a person's true self. 3. See you later- conversations do not happen in real time. 4. It's all in my head- assigning characteristics and traits to a "person." 5. It's just a game- imagination, escapism. 6. We're equals- lack of heirarchy causes changes in interactions

#Individuals can portray themselves as social, attractive, and popular by posting pictures of themselves surrounded by friends at a party. In theory, this makes them more desirable to the other sex and ‘cooler’ to their peers. #More than 58% of the pictures of the males’ profiles & 55.2% of female's profiles contained pictures of alcohol #Such pictures give proof of participation #In general, young adults won’t create an online identity that would reflect badly on them. While family, academics, and athletics do not project badly on the individual, they also do not distinguish a person in an immediate sense or are not easy to capture. With party pictures, teens and young adults create a popular image for consumption by their peers.

#Almost 25% of the people in the world are active Internet users. More than 100 million FB users log on at least once per day. Nine blogs are created each minute. As advancements in Internet technology continue to make the world smaller and smaller, new users are plugging into the Net at an unbelievable pace. #A model of 6 steps of Internet addiction:
(1) Reinforcement ->(2) Compulsion or craving -> (3) Withdrawal symptoms -> (4) Loss of control -> (5) Escalation or tolerance -> (6) Negative consequences: e.g. problems with school, job performance, difficulties with relationship, health or legal problems. #“Internet paradox” - the contradictory nature of the Internet: many use the web as a tool to develop and maintain relationships, but doing this through the use of a computer ironically leads to a lack of commitment to face-to-face relationships.

SAM GOSLING: #music is the most popular topic raised when people are given the task of getting to know one another. #mainly we want others to see us as we see ourselves. #People judged on the basis of their FB profiles tend to be judged as they actually see themselves. #extroverts have more friends than introverts and some people try to accumulate enormous FB social circles #Many of the social, cultural, and technological innovations of the past two millennia have contributed to divisions of the self, allowing us to separate our professional identities from several personal identities. SNWs are smoothing over those cracks in our identities. Even with the advent of professional SNWs (LinkedIn) and attempts by some SNWs to separate user groups it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain clear boundaries between our formerly separate selves. #psychological research has shown that people who can integrate their different selves end up better off than those who keep themselves divided

#"Identity is often characterized by one's personality traits, interpersonal characteristics such as the roles and relationships one takes in various interactions, the skill one process, and one's personal values or moral beliefs. #"D.I. may consists of a personal digital identity and a social digital identity.

"self-representation and avatar usage can be a serious matter online. The avatars we chose to represent ourselves have an impact on how we behave and also on how we’re perceived online. That’s why sites that easily allow you to change your avatar often are more engaging and interactive. People change their avatar to reflect their mood, send secret messages to other friends, display self- attributes, social role, a fantasy representation of who they want to be or they might just want to provoke." "The researchers concluded that Facebook self-presentation is very much about showing who you are in relationship to others rather than as an individual."

Online, users can claim to be whoever they wish. Like actors playing a role, they can deliberately choose to put forth identity cues or claims of self that can closely resemble or wildly differ from reality. With the rise of Web 2.0 and the growth of social networking sites, the virtual spaces for these portrayals of alternate identities seems near endless. But with these new sites and channels rise questions and disagreements over what constitutes public and private conversation and interaction, and the links between these manufactured and mediated identities.
