Frontiers in Psychology invites your submissions for a new article collection, Self-Presentation During Self Quarantine Era.
Over the past six decades, since Erving Goffman (1959) proposed a very natural way of individual social interaction, self-presentation has emerged as an empirically tested perspective in how media and its contents can be managed and promoted. This phenomenon defines any behavior intended to create modify or maintain an impression of people perceived by others. Whenever people are uploading posts, texts, or photos, those lead people to think of them in a particular way. This approach has been applied to why people ever want to engage in self-presentation and when and how do they formulate impressions of themselves in the minds of other people.
In the context of online media communication, media are used as tools from impression management and as self-identification in social issues. Scholars have devoted significant energies to study media effects in the changing media platforms and paid increasing attention to examining the impacts of social media and new technologies on how individuals promoted themselves in various media formats.
In this Research Topic, we look for rigorous, original, and creative contributions that speak across multiple subfields of media, psychology, and communication. All theoretical approaches as well as methods of scholarly inquiry are welcome while the papers can be based on an empirical study, integrating a series of empirical pieces from developing a new model.
Specifically, the Research Topic focuses on the phenomenon of self-presentation, with perspectives from new media communication, social media impact, and digital self-promotions. We invite papers that analyze the causes, distribution, and impact of the self-presentation related to social media, algorithm, COVID pandemic, political participation, information seeking, and impression management, etc., by various methods and approaches such as survey data, big data, content analysis, and comparative studies.
