Selfie vs. Self-Image
The Consequences of Online Identities
Social Media has allowed us to
share our lives with the world
Our Profiles have become our







 Identity,
representing all facets of our life
We now have the 
Tools…
to Filter what we expose
of ourselves
And in doing so….




We are EDITING our identity
“One of the differences between our
self-image in real life and online is…
more ability to change our look,
and also mask our identity"
	
  Chris'ne	
  Erickson,	
  The	
  Social	
  Psychology	
  of	
  a	
  Selfie	
  
"And one of the clearest themes is when people go on
Facebook they're often crafting a persona -
they're portraying themselves at their happiest.  
They're often choosing events that feel best to them and
they're leaving out other things”

"The

  to

"We rely on other's
perceptions, 

judgments, 

and appraisals 

to develop our social self"
Christine Erickson, The Social Psychology of a Selfie
We are
comparing
ourselves
to
perfected
online
identities
and developing our social selves using those
comparisons

"Now that we can interact with hundreds 
-  no thousands -
of people simultaneously, 
we've STRENGTHENED the impact that
others have on our self-value”
Andrea Letamendi, The Social Psychology of a Selfie
"A UK study found that over 50% of social media users evaluated their
participation in social networking as having an overall negative effect on
their lives.
Specifically, they singled out the blow to their self-esteem that comes from
comparing themselves to peers on Facebookand Twitter”
