Full textAbstract:
This paper investigates the factors influencing online self-presentation strategies on dating platforms, and explore how Muslims users manage their online presentation on dating approach –associated with Muslim-oriented dating application and mainstream-oriented dating application in order to accomplish the goal of finding partner. Twenty-profiles from Tinder and MusMatch active online dating user was used for the study. Qualitative content analysis was used to explore the approaches of interactions associated with individual self-presentation. Four main themes were generated: Screen names, Terminal identities, Net Presence and Personal Profile. The findings reveal that both MusMatch and Tinder allow its users to choose their own screen names without any restrictions. The platforms showed how screen names can be used as a strategy to present certain impression. Users tend to post their personal interests in order to attract their potential partners on Tinder as well as MuzMatch. Users of MuzMatch used acronyms to identify themselves, whereas, users of Tinders are free to construct a socially desirable identity that may attract people’s attention and publicity. The frequency with which MusMatch users appear to interact for relationship that leads to marriage is far more than any other form of relationship. Tinder users are free to post anything as their profile picture, whereas in MuzMatch it requires authentic profile pictures. MusMatch provision for establishing relationship requires that a chaperone should be allow to mediate interactions among the potential partners in order to preserve Muslims-oriented dating style

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to solve the challenges in knowledge outcome (e.g. knowledge contribution, knowledge exploration) improvement at the post-adoption phase in the context of e-communities. This study develops a model by integrating dedication-constraint framework and self-presentation theory. The model proposes that knowledge outcomes at the post-adoption phase rely on relationship development between community members, conceptualized as commitment. The authors also hypothesize that members’ perceived online self-presentation quality, theorized as personal control and social influence, serves as the key means to motivate members’ commitment. Design/methodology/approach This study used survey instrument to collect data and adopted partial least squares to test the proposed hypotheses. Findings The results show that perceived online self-presentation quality positively affects relationship development, which in turn affects continuance intention for knowledge outcomes. Research limitations/implications This study expands the dedication-constraint framework by integrating the self-presentation theory. This study contributes new knowledge by proposing a model that delineates the relationship between online self-presentation quality, relationship development, and knowledge outcomes at the post-adoption stage. Practical implications This study shows that members’ perceived online self-presentation quality affects both affective commitment and calculative commitment, which in turn affect knowledge outcomes, suggesting the important role of the perceived quality in stimulating a member’s post-adoption reactions. Originality/value This study contributes to the research on post-adoption behavior in an e-community context by accounting for the influence of e-community features in self-presentation quality and dedication-constraint mechanisms on post-adoption phenomena.

Full textAbstract:
The doctor is a way of life, which includes monitoring and correction of themself presentation continuously. The physician is one of the socially significant and language-active professions. The language activity of doctors in the Internet is determined by their consciousness and communicative behavior in various genres of social media – a blog, a forum, a social network, a personal website, etc. Evidence indicates that electronic communication can improve health outcomes, for example by promoting professional development, emphasizing self-presentation, and also highlighting linguistic personality of physicians, which is based on verbal-non-verbal behavior. However, discussion of the dangers of these technologies in medicine has overshadowed the consideration of positive applications. Online communication has introduced profound questions about confidentiality, professionalism, and other issues of ethical and legal regulation for healthcare professionals. Understanding that will help to avoid mistakes, thereby maintaining a high level of the doctor's professional image.

Given the fact that totalitarian systems use the media as the most powerful tool to produce and disseminate the ideology, the text of this paper is the printed press of that period. I especially selected the journal Zëri i Popullit (Voice of People), as it was the main representative press organ of Communist Party which would later become the Labor Party. Understanding the past discourses paves the ground for understanding their continuity or their change during the new systems of governance as it will be after 1990's in Albania. The methodology of this paper is Critical Discourse Analyze. I will use Critical Discourse Analyze at the same time as theory for this study. Since the totalitarian system ruled Albania during that period, the study will be focused on analyzing the hegemonic discourse, seeing antagonism as the basic form of power’s self presentation. Also to understand the key moments of self presentation I have selected the articles during the national holidays such as 1st of May the Labor Day 28th of November the Independence Day and 29th of November the Liberation Day. The articles of press during national holidays are selected as key data, because these dates have always been important to deliver messages. This paper aims to establish discursive categories seeing antagonism as main feature of power legitimacy. Based on this argument the research question of this paper is; which are the elements used by printed press for its self presentation to legitimize the power?

Full textAbstract:
The paper provides a modest reading of Hegel?s treatment of self-consciousness in his Phenomenology of Spirit and tries to present it as an integral part of the overall project of the experience of consciousness leading from understanding to reason. Its immediate objective is, it is argued, to think the independence and dependence, that is the pure and empirical I within the same unity of self-consciousness. This implies a double movement of finding a proper existence for the pure I and at the same time a breaking down of the empirical I?s attachment to particularity. It is argued that the Hegelian struggle for recognition intends to show how the access to reason demands the subject?s renunciation of its attachment to particularity, that is to sacrifice not only its bare life but every thing indeed, including its particular identity, and yet, to go on living.

Full textAbstract:
The process of self-presentation is significantly complicated for people growing up with social media. Many individuals have time-stamped digital footprints in social media from early youth to adulthood. However, little is known about long-term consequences for these individuals, their experience of time and their identity transition from youthful experimentation to a professional identity in social media. Through 15 in-depth interviews, our study explores challenges concerning identity transition and impression management in social media for young adults who have recently entered working life as journalists. Our participants described how they curated their image and self-censored both their previous and current self-generated content in social media. We also find that many have actively opted for passive and peace-keeping self-presentation and use of social media or for turning their usage into private messaging platforms, masking their online identity. Some participants indicated they felt trapped by their own identity making in social media.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract An educator’s goal is to always explain classroom material to his or her students in the most efficient way possible. Chemistry is a fundamental foundation to the study of animal nutrition, but the concepts of organic chemistry are very difficult to relay to students of animal science, possibly due to the different types of student learners. It could be that mode of presentation may aid in relaying this information to the students. The sample for this experiment included students enrolled in an animal nutrition course at Tarleton State University. Students were presented with five methods of presentation of carbohydrate molecular structure in a laboratory session, each with an increasingly tactile approach: written description, printed 2-dimensional model, printed 3-dimensional model, ball-and-stick model, and self-constructing molecular model kit. Students were then asked to complete a survey to address effectiveness of presentation method. Data were analyzed using SAS v. 9.4. When addressing effectiveness of presentation method, the written description and the printed 2-dimensional model were rated as slightly-to-moderately effective (48.4 and 67.8%, respectively), the printed 3-dimensional model was rated as moderately effective (58.1%), the ball-and-stick model was rated as very effective (48.4%), and the self-constructing model was rated as very-to-extremely effective (80.6%). Cluster analysis revealed that students chose any of the presentation methods over the written description with preference for the self-constructing model. Results are interpreted to mean that presentation of organic chemistry concepts in animal nutrition are more effective when kinesthetic presentation methods are employed.

Full textAbstract:
In the modern world, universities have become actors in the global market of higher education while retaining their connections with national higher education systems and staying embedded in their national culture and traditions. In this light, self-narratives of BRICS universities are of particular interest as they not only reflect these HEIs' understanding of their purpose and role in the national and international contexts but also the self-understandings of their national higher education systems. This study analyzes texts and visual elements of web-sites of Russian and Chinese universities as a part of their self-narratives and as means they use for communication with internal and external audiences. The study relies on the methodology of critical discourse analysis developed by Michelle Stack and the principles of multimodal analysis proposed by Luc Pauwels. The sample consists of five Russian and five Chinese HEIs which occupy top positions in QS University Ranking for BRICS 2019. National (Russian, Chinese) and international (English) versions of these universities' sites are analyzed. The study shows that Russian and Chinese universities are oriented primarily towards such key stakeholders as prospective students, current students and their families, and governmental agencies. Universities use their web-sites for promoting their brands among prospective students, both domestic and international, and for self-legitimization in the eyes of national governments. It was found that Chinese universities are generally more consistent in their pursuit of internationalization. Both Russian and Chinese universities, however, appear to be more focused on attracting international students rather than on establishing and developing official partnerships and academic collaborations. In their narratives, Chinese universities present themselves as rightful players on the global market that, while being embedded in national tradition and committed to innovation, are able to determine the future of the region and world in general. Russian universities, in their turn, seek to demonstrate their active involvement into the global academic context by highlighting their positions in world university rankings.

Full textAbstract:
Scholars have frequently noted that in his writings, Josephus consistently styles himself as standing in the tradition of the biblical prophets and that he remodels his retelling of the prophets’ narratives to align them more closely with himself. What scholars have largely overlooked, however, is the fact that in his autobiography, Josephus minimizes the prophetic allusions, including instead subtle details that are reminiscent of Nehemiah and his actions. This paper, therefore, offers a new approach to the relationship between Josephus and Nehemiah: rather than comparing Josephus’ presentation of Nehemiah in his Jewish Antiquities 11.159-183 with the various extant literary traditions, this paper discusses those passages in the Vita subtly alluding to Nehemiah. The results of this analysis will impact on our understanding of how Nehemiah was perceived by later authors, and argue that the relationship between Josephus and Nehemiah was more profound than a mere retelling in the Jewish Antiquities.

Full textAbstract:
Promoting one's altruistic motives may be an important means by which people can present themselves favorably to others. Still, promoting one's altruistic acts can be risky, as observers tend to be sensitive to factors that indicate that an altruistic act is motivated by self-interest, rather than genuine prosocial motives. Research focused on martyrdom (Olivola & Shafir, 2013; Schaumberg & Mullen, 2017) has suggested that highlighting the hardships involved in an altruistic act can enhance perceptions of prosocial motivation (the martyrdom hypothesis). However, research on bragging (Berman et al., 2015; Sezer et al., 2018) has suggest that first-person statements that highlight hardships may be perceived as self-motivated complaints, rather than genuine (the complaint hypothesis). The current study used a 2 (statement content: accomplishment versus hardship) x 2 (presentation strategy: direct statement or humblebrag) within-groups design (N = 82) to examine if self-promotional statements related to altruistic hardship increased or decreased perceptions of genuineness and prosocial motivation. Consistent with the complaint hypothesis, first-person statements focused on an altruistic hardship were perceived more as complaints (p < .001, η2 = .512) and less as prosocial acts (p = .001, η2 = .132) than first-person statements that focused on an altruistic accomplishment. These results suggest that there may be a penalty for emphasizing personal sacrifice as a means of self-promoting altruistic acts.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – Drawing upon the literature of Uses and Gratifications (U & G) Theory, the purpose of this paper is to propose that entertainment, information seeking, socialization, and self-presentation are the motivational factors affecting continuance intention of social media. This paper further investigates the moderating effects of cultural difference and socio-economic status on the link between these motivational factors and continuance intention. Design/methodology/approach – Data collected from the 493 active users of Facebook in five countries (Australia, Austria, Japan, Taiwan, and the USA) were used to test the proposed model. Partial least squares method was used to assess the relationships in the model and the subgroup analysis method was employed as well to examine the moderating roles of cultural difference and socio-economic status. Findings – Information seeking exerts stronger effect on continuance intention for users from individualistic cultures, while socialization, and self-presentation has stronger influence on continuance intention for users from collective cultures. Entertainment has stronger influence on continuance for high educated users, whereas self-presentation has stronger influence on continuance intention for users with lower level of education. Finally, the effect of entertainment, information seeking on continuance intention is stronger for users with higher level of income, while self-presentation has stronger influence on continuance intention for users with lower level of income. Originality/value – This study is one of first studies to extend the research context of U & G Theory from adoption of social media to continuance intention of social media. This study is also the first to investigate the moderating roles of cultural difference and socio-economic statuses in social media usage behavior simultaneously.

Full textAbstract:
Two putative functions of emotion experience — its roles in intentional action and in social understanding — were investigated using a group of individuals (repressors) known to have impaired anxiety experience. Repressors, low-anxious, high-anxious, and defensive high-anxious individuals were asked to give a public presentation, and then given the opportunity to avoid the presentation. Repressors were the group most likely to avoid giving the presentation, but were the least likely to give an emotional explanation for their avoidance. By contrast, they were not less likely than other groups to provide negative emotional explanations of another person’s behaviour in a film clip. We concluded that: (1) repressors are impaired in self- but not in other-explanation using emotion, implying that “simulation” is not the method used by repressors to ground their folk psychology, (2) the intentional avoidance shown by repressors is indicative of some intact first-order phenomenal anxiety experience but that they lack second-order awareness of this anxiety experience.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose While previous research underscored self-presentation desire as an important motivator of digital item purchase, user needs for digital items may become increasingly inner-focused with the maturation of virtual communities (VCs). The purpose of this paper is to posit that self-discrepancy and self-gratification are key to explaining user purchase of digital items. Design/methodology/approach A survey of 310 users of a social media-based VC well supports the hypotheses. Findings The tenet of this study is that individuals purchase digital items in VCs not only for self-presentation purpose per se, but more importantly for reasons of more inner-focused, such as due to their self-discrepancy that motivates them to purchase digital items to enhance self-esteem, and also for self-gratification. Furthermore, self-discrepancy arising from comparing ones’ current self against how they perceive others expect them to ideally be (i.e. self-other discrepancy) increases their self-presentation desire. Originality/value Overall the findings enrich the current view that individuals purchase digital items mainly to present themselves to others (Kim et al., 2012), thus affording a more complete understanding of this behavior that has both important research and practical implications.

Full textAbstract:
As the young generations grow up using applications like Facebook and as fans of social networking technologies, understanding the presentations of self in a virtual community becomes a worthwhile topic to be addressed. Drawing on the theory of dramaturgical theory (Goffman, 1959), this interpretive research was conducted to observe the self presentation of the participants in a virtual community to analyze their online behaviors and interactions. The observations found that only in the early stage of interaction, people can have a high degree of control over the ideal images creation; however, the clues to reveal actual images are accumulated over time and across cyberspaces. This research suggested that personal control over image delivery in a virtual community weakens over time, which challenged the assumption made by prior literature regarding how people have greater control in creating ideal images in the virtual community. The findings of this research could provide insight for people who use virtual community to search for credible personal information or to build ideal images. Besides, this research suggested that although Internet technologies facilitate access to a rich source of information, the convenience in information acquisition and verification comes at the expense of personal privacy.

Full textAbstract:
The main goal of this research was to explore the ways people portray themselves in resumes, labelled as ?unsuitable? after the first review of the recruiters in a manufacturing company in Serbia. The form and the content of fifty resumes were analyzed using qualitative content analysis, inductive approach. Personal life stories described in an intimate and submissive tone were predominantly present in resumes, compared to the description of work experience and competencies. Concerning the content of the resumes, two core categories emerged - I as a worker and Employment needs. Finding support in the literature dealing with postsocialist transformation in Serbia and Hofstede?s theory, results are interpreted as pointing to the opposition of two value systems in Serbia: that of the authors of ?unsuitable? resumes, reflecting collectivistic and feminine values and that of the job market in Serbia, reflecting manly individualistic and masculine values. The authors of "unsuitable" resumes display interdependent self-construal, use defensive impression management strategies and their need to work is exclusively financial in nature. Finally, the need for better understanding between job candidates and employers, having different value systems, especially in the context of actual socio-economic changes in Serbia is discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose Previous research suggests that self-presentation causes people to have a reflective tendency to produce electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM). Drawing on the theory of the reflective-impulsive model (RIM), this paper aims to examine whether self-presentation also could motivate an impulsive tendency to produce eWOM. Self-monitoring is suggested as a possible moderator in the relationship between self-presentation and impulsive eWOM production. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected based on an online survey of members from a consumer panel. The effective sample size was 574 respondents. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the data. Findings The findings show that self-presentation may drive both impulsive and reflective eWOM tendencies; however, that the relationship between self-presentation and impulsive eWOM tendency is contingent on high levels of self-monitoring. Originality/value By including self-monitoring as a moderator, this study is the first to show a relationship between self-presentation and impulsive eWOM production. Moreover, the findings show that both impulsive and reflective eWOM tendencies are associated with an enhanced tendency to produce eWOM, thereby demonstrating the usefulness of the RIM theory in understanding eWOM behavior. Overall, the findings shed light on how companies may stimulate eWOM production, and consequently provide insight into creating more effective eWOM campaigns.

This study aims to investigate the correlation between self-presentation on Facebook and social capital, which includes bridging and bonding social capital among university students in Kuala Lumpur. Total 375 university students took part in this study. The results show that most of the participants have used Facebook for 7 to 9 years, and spent time on Facebook 1 to 2 hours every day. The self-presentation on Facebook and each type of social capital were rated as moderate level among these participants. Pearson Correlation analysis revealed that self-presentation on Facebook has a significant relationship with bridging and bonding social capital. This study provides a better understanding among university students in Kuala Lumpur campus on how these students engage in strategies of self-presentation on Facebook. Limitations and future recommendations were discussed in the last section of this paper.

Full textAbstract:
Unlike previous approaches to online news sharing behaviors dealing with the dissemination of information to broader audiences, this article interprets that behavior as an act of relational communication. Drawing from surveys of 400 online news users, we examine how they manage their self-presentation and account for their audience’s characteristics differently when they engage in online news sharing activities on mobile instant messenger (MIM) and social networking site (SNS). Our findings suggest that individuals who are highly motivated by self-presentation share news online more than others. Individuals also target different audiences, depending on their media environments. Specifically, SNS users are more cautious about their audiences’ connections with other users. The implications are that news sharing behaviors are a type of communication used for forming relationships and managing impressions beyond informational purposes, based on active individuals’ strategic considerations of their audiences’ characteristics.

Abstract. First articulated in 2008, the concept of identity shift refers to the process of self-transformation that is the result of intentional self-presentation in a mediated context. As research into identity shift has become increasingly prevalent, our understanding of the concept’s mechanisms and constraints has become more detailed and in depth. We now have a greater understanding of the process and limitations of identity shift: an understanding sufficient to begin articulating a theory of identity shift that explains and predicts the intrapersonal effects of mediated self-presentations. The present work advances such a theory. We begin by summarizing and synthesizing extant identity shift work – including published articles, presented manuscripts, and unpublished research – to better understand the identity shift process. We then use this synthesis to articulate an initial theory (identity shift theory; IST) that specifies the processes, conditions, constraints, and effects of identity shift based on personal, psychological, and communicative characteristics. Ultimately, the advancement of identity shift theory can inform future research and practice into the implications of online self-presentation for self-effects.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the intersection of professional values and career roles in accountants’ presentations of their professional identity, in the face of enduring stereotyping of the accounting role. Design/methodology/approach This study presents a qualitative investigation of accountants’ construction of their professional identities and imagery using a Goffmanian dramaturgical perspective. Viewing professional identity construction as a presentational matter of impression management, the investigation employs a reflexive photo-interviewing methodology. Findings Accountants use a variety of workplace dramatisation, idealisation and mystification strategies inside and outside the workplace to counter the traditional accounting stereotype. They also attempt to develop a professional identity that is a subset of their overall life values. Research limitations/implications Their professional orientation is found to embrace role reconstruction and revised image mystification while not necessarily aiming for upward professional mobility. This has implications for understanding the career trajectories of contemporary accountants with associated implications for continuing professional development and education. Originality/value The paper focusses on professional role, identity, values and image at the individual accountant level, while most prior research has focussed upon these issues at the macro association-wide level. In offering the first use of reflexive photo-interviewing method in the accounting research literature, it brings the prospect of having elicited different and possibly more reflective observations, reflections and understandings from actors not otherwise possible from more conventional methods.

Simichidas' self-presentation as a poet at Theocritus 7.37 is modelled on Apollo's self-presentation as a musician atHomeric Hymn to Hermes450. Through this allusion, in his own Dichterweihe as a bucolic poet Simichidas hints at the invention of the bucolic genre by Hermes. The reference is crafted so as to point self-reflexively to its status as reference; in particular, the expression καὶ γὰρ ἐγώ (‘I too’) of line 37 functions as an intertextual signpost. If Simichidas is a literary projection of Theocritus, the allusion has important implications for our understanding of his self-positioning within the poetical tradition.

The article examines the theoretical approaches to understanding the location and functioning of man in the local community asa member.It is proved that the urgency of this issue is determined by the fact that for the first time, at the constitutional level, the Ukrainianstate has recognized the existence of a system of local interests, produced by the territorial community – territorial community, concerningthe existential issues of its existence and functioning. territorial units of the state, which were legalized as issues of local importance.Thus, such interests of the community, according to the current constitutional guidelines, are solved, first, through the use of aspecific historical and universal social and legal institution – local self-government, which really gives the community and its membersopportunities for self-organization in such a community, self-identification and self-expression. within such a community, as well asinitiatives to implement the latter, again within such a community. In addition, it is argued that local self-government is exercised eitherdirectly by such a community (through the use of appropriate mechanisms of direct democracy) or by local governments formed by thecommunity itself in the process of democratic elections and appointments and acting on the principles of representative democracy. Atthe same time, territorial communities act as the primary subjects of local self-government, and therefore local self-government bodiesmust act on behalf of and in the interests of the respective communities.It is argued that the phenomenology of self-presentation of man (personality) in the territorial community has a solid integralphilosophicalbasis, a significant doctrinal-normative basis, reflects axiological guidelines of local government and parametric-teleologicalvalues of formation, functioning, development and development and high motivation of a man (personality) – a member of thecommunity, because it demonstrates its ability to build harmonious relationships with other members of local society in local governmentand its bodies by either leveling their individual guidelines in favor of local society, or by adjusting, synergizing, adaptation tocollective needs. In addition, it demonstrates that the self-presentation of a man (personality) actively forms and demonstrates its selfworth,ability to self-identification, self-organization, self-activity, self-government, as well as the ability to build a balance of intereststhrough human size and application of individual and collective interests (intersubjectivity).

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explain how the role of marketing for luxury brands can be re-thought in order to ensure that such brands establish a strong connection between their luxury image and positive social and environmental values. Design/methodology/approach – The findings are based upon qualitative empirical research which informed a new categorisation of consumer motivations, through the application of self-determination theory which shows how concerns for environmental and social sustainability can be integrated with individual psychological needs. Findings – The findings provide a deep understanding of consumers of luxury-eco products which could be used by marketing practitioners to shape socially responsible purchasing decisions. Research limitations/implications – The research was designed for theory building, not theory-testing, so future research would be needed to study the efficacy of the recommended strategies for encouraging eco-luxury behaviour. Practical implications – To increase the likelihood of practical applications, the authors follow the presentation of their findings with suggestions and examples for marketing to each of the consumer types identified by their research. Social implications – The findings of this research have implications of a global, environmental and social kind. The societal adoption of eco-luxury consumption is about educating consumer desire, shifting it from its current focus on personal satisfaction, to a higher level of personal and social flourishing. Originality/value – The findings effectively support the claims of self-determination theory by demonstrating how and why consumer motivations differ and how an improved sense of well-being can be achieved through internalised levels of self-determination.

We compared students’ estimation their own socialpsychological characteristics in ability to perform successfully the work functions. Complex psychological diagnostic methods as control localization in perception their role in work achievements and defeats,qualities of integrated self-assessment, measuring social competence and saturation of life existential goals and values gave us some indicators of gender differences in professional background presentations. Female’s sample entails a reduction of their personal vocational aspirations by more strong psychological pressure of traditional stereotypes on their social functioning.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigated the causes and coping strategies of regret of sharing alcohol-related content on social media. Semi-structured interviews were conducted among emerging adults who experienced regret of having shared either general alcohol references or drunken references ( n = 29, ages 19–25 years, M = 21.38, SD = 1.60). The most important cause of regret was a disruption of one’s online self-presentation. When delving deeper into the specific causes of online alcohol-related regret and how this content can disrupt the self-presentation, two overarching themes emerged: (a) content-related regret, and (b) audience-related regret. When examining the coping strategies, we found that emerging adults applied different strategies (a) to minimize their regret (e.g., delete the content), and (b) to avoid future regret (e.g., delete social media before going out). Implications for prevention are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Political discourse is a major site where ideological construction of both Self and Others is carried out. Based on a corpus of 98 political texts issued by Chinese governing bodies from 2000 to 2018, this study adopts Appraisal System to analyse the lexical items that indicate attitudes towards China and other countries with a view to revealing the ways in which China and other countries are appraised in Chinese political discourse. It is found that (1) Chinese political discourse does represent the ideological square of positive Self-presentation and negative Other-presentation, but more frequently it negatively evaluates China’s things (appreciation) rather than its behaviours (judgement) while more negative appraisals are used to describe Others’ behaviours rather than Their things, (2) interestingly, while China upturns Others’ negative profiles, it also upscales negative presentation of Self; likewise, China mitigates negative presentation of both Self and Others, (3) Chinese political discourse allows more external voices when expressing its attitudes towards Self. The analysis shows that the producers of Chinese political discourse skilfully use appraisal resources, sometimes implicitly, to construct a subtle but dynamic ‘Self versus Other’ ideological structure in Chinese political discourse, which enhances the understanding of China’s moderate view on itself and others in its pursuit of national interests.

Full textAbstract:
The article gives the author’s definition of the concept of “professional self-fulfilment of the teacher”, which means a personal strategy of a teacher’s professional activity, aimed at improving their personal qualities and developing their professional competencies. The structural and content components of the professional self-fulfilment of the teacher have been determined: self-understanding, self-actualization, self-identification, self-design, self-organization and self-regulation. It has been proved that each of the six components carries its own function, being central at a certain stage of professional development, determining the course of the teacher’s personality development, and moving at the next stage to a “subordinate” position when it becomes a mechanism for the implementation of a new stage of the teacher’s professional self-fulfilment. Self-knowledge is an activity specially organized by a teacher, the purpose of which is to identify one’s own potential capabilities, actual needs, life meanings in the aspect of professional activity. Self-actualization is an activity specially organized by a teacher, the purpose of which is self-understanding, self-awareness of one’s own uniqueness in professional activity. Self-identification is an activity specially organized by the teacher, the purpose of which is self-identification with one of the self-actualizing professional portraits. Self-design is an activity specially organized by the teacher, the purpose of which is to develop an individual educational trajectory in the direction of his “ideal self-teacher”. Self-development is an activity specially organized by the teacher, the purpose of which is positive self-change of the individual in the direction of his “ideal self-teacher”. Self-presentation is an activity specially organized by the teacher, the purpose of which is the teacher’s presentation of his intermediate and final results.
Keywords: Professional self-fulfillment of the teacher; structural and content components of the professional self-fulfillment of the teacher; self-understanding of the teacher, self-actualization of the teacher; self-identification of the teacher; self-design of the teacher; self-organization of the teacher; self-regulation of the teacher.

This study’s purpose was to contribute to the understanding of athlete self-presentation on Twitter by focusing on the communication strategies of an entire team of female athletes during an international mega-event, with special attention given to how the athletes’ communication changed in the surrounding time periods. Content analysis was performed on tweets from all 23 players on the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team during 30-day time periods before, during, and after the 2015 World Cup. Findings revealed an overall tendency towards backstage communication, with some commonalities between the self-presentation styles utilized by individual athletes on the team. In addition, there were organic, intuitive changes in the players’ self-presentation across various time periods. Further, analysis of follower engagement via retweets indicated greater interest in athletes’ backstage communication compared to front stage. These findings yield implications for future research and practical application, which are examined in the discussion.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose This study aims to explore the nature of electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) and the key drivers of this consumer-generated brand communication, focusing on eWOM in the context of social media communications. Design/methodology/approach The study uses inductive qualitative design, and the data have been collected via 22 semi-structured interviews with individuals who follow brands on Facebook. Findings Building on interview data, the paper advances a conception of eWOM in the social media context and highlights that eWOM consists of a broad range of brand-related communications, which include such activities as consuming, commenting, posting and forwarding information. The study also uncovers two major antecedents of eWOM, which are one’s concern for self-presentation and privacy. Research limitations/implications Further research could examine additional drivers of brand-related eWOM in the context of Facebook brand pages, and investigate eWOM in other social media platforms. Practical implications The findings have two important implications for brand management. Firstly, considering the importance of self-presentation, brands are advised to develop an in-depth understanding of the types of self-image pursued by their target audience. Secondly, given the concerns about privacy on social media, brands may carefully consider and manage the levels of privacy that should apply when communicating with their followers. Originality/value The novel insights centre on the individual differences in eWOM activity, and the importance of one’s perceptions of self-image and privacy in explaining these differences. It seems that the propensity to engage in eWOM and the form that this communication takes are the reflections of one’s self-presentation and privacy preferences.

Full textAbstract:
Self-proteins are regularly processed for presentation to autoreactive T cells in association with both class I and class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules. The presentation of self-peptides plays a crucial role in the acquisition of T cell repertoire during thymic selection. We previously reported that the self-MHC class I peptide Ld 61-80 was immunogenic in syngeneic B10.A mice (H-2a). We showed that despite its high affinity for self-MHC class II molecules, Ld 61-80 peptide failed to induce elimination of autoreactive CD4+ T cells, presumably due to incomplete processing and presentation in the B10.A's developing thymus (cryptic-self peptide). In this report, we showed that the cryptic phenotype was not an intrinsic property of the self-peptide Ld 61-80 since it was found to be naturally presented and subsequently tolerogenic in BALB/c mice (H-2d) (dominant self-peptide). In addition, the self-peptide Ld 61-80 was found to be immunogenic in different H-2a mice while it was invariably tolerogenic in H-2d mice regardless of their background genes. We observed that Ld 61-80 bound equally well to H-2d and H-2k MHC class II molecules. Also, no correlation was found between the quantity of self-Ld protein and the tolerogenicity of Ld 61-80. Surprisingly, Ld 61-80 was not naturally presented in (H-2d x H-2a) F1 mice, indicating that the H-2a MHC locus contained a gene that impaired the presentation of the self-peptide. Analyses of T cell responses to the self-peptide in several H-2 recombinant mice revealed that the presentation of Ld 61-80 was controlled by genes that mapped to a 170-kb portion of the MHC class II region. This study shows that (a) endogenously processed self-peptides presented by MHC class II molecules are involved in shaping the CD4+ T cell repertoire in the thymus; (b) The selection of self-peptides for presentation by MHC class II molecules to nascent autoreactive T cells is influenced by nonstructural MHC genes that map to a 170-kb portion of the MHC class II region; and (c) the MHC locus of H-2a mice encodes factors that prevent or abrogate the presentation by MHC class II molecules of the self-peptide Ld 61-80. These findings may have important implications for understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in T cell repertoire acquisition and self-tolerance induction.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis article expands and develops current reformulations of the term ‘authenticity’ by juxtaposing Peter Nichols’s dramatic presentation of (in)authentic behavior in Passion Play, Søren Kierkegaard’s writings on authenticity, and recent studies in psychology and affective neuroscience. Re-thinking Kierkegaard’s views on identity and autonomy in relation to Nichols’s presentation of the experiences of betrayal, despair, and self-governance, the article explores how innovative theatrical performance may cause spectators to physically simulate various modes of existential choice, and elucidates the constitutive role played by bodily responses in the shaping of self-understanding and interpersonal communication. While sharing aspects of Kierkegaard’s category of the ‘individual’, as a person who is fully conscious of him/her self and takes responsibility for that self’s conduct, the model of authentic self-becoming that emerges from this discussion is anchored in a balance between attunement to bodily cues, self-directed reflection, and decisive action.

PurposeThe article aims to present a holistic approach to analysis of patterns on complex online profiles, demonstrated on profiles of European scientists.Design/methodology/approachAn existing analytical framework was developed to incorporate a holistic understanding of online profiles. The framework was applied to a sample of 188 online profiles belonging to 48 European scientists. The profile data were studied on three levels (content‐unit level, profile‐instance level, and profile‐network level), using methods of the qualitative comparative analysis to derive profiling patterns.FindingsThe approach developed in this work generated profiling patterns for European scientists. The patterns exist on all three levels, forming a hierarchy. This pattern structure shows the variety of ways in which scientists can use the internet for self‐presentation.Originality/valueThe study was based on a holistic understanding of online self‐presentation, acknowledging that personal presentation can be spread across different platforms. The study presented shows how this understanding can be used when analysing online profiling behaviour. The profiling patterns of European scientists identified in this study supplement existing typologies. The study serves as a foundation to structure further research as well as to inform practitioners.

Full textAbstract:
Human interactions are being communicated by means of electronic, Internet-based Medias. This research is about representation differ in presentation on online dating applications. This study is aimed at understanding how images are used as a means of creating an identity, specifically through Tinder. Self-presentation is divided into two parts: the front region and the back region. The front region is the area where a person displays a self-presentation that he/she wants to show the audience or user in this context in the picture. Front region consists of setting, appearance, and manner that are related to each other. In the back region, the appearance is a visual appearance that is not displayed or any activity performed. That will create impression management in Tinder which create personal branding. In this study qualitative method are used to answer the research questions. The process of research involves emerging questions and procedures, data typically collected in the participant’s setting, data analysis inductively building from particulars to general themes, and the researcher making interpretations of the meaning of the data. The results showed that starting from self-presentation, every participant have their own style to build their own personal branding to make him/her unique among all the other tinder user. This allows them to stand out. The implication of this research is the need for management of personal branding for every individual involved because personal branding is really important as a form of self-presentation in order to compete in relationship or business.

Self-formation as a concept for irreversible evolution of the artificial object with complexity increase was introduced for understanding of the processes existing in microelectronics technology [1]. The concept of self-formation by itself was to some extend influenced by principles existing in biological world therefore from the very beginning there was an open question about limits of self-formation application: are we limited to the understanding of some technological processes or we can think about predicting new technological applications by applying selfformation concept. Recently developed tools for simulation of technological processes for Solar Cells manufacturing [2] clearly indicates that self-formation is becoming interesting tool for technologists trying to create and optimize microelectronic devices. The next step exploring selfformation application boundaries can be analysis of possibilities of the self-formation to demonstrate usual in biological life development and reproduction of the object. This presentation will be dedicated to the analysis of the conditions and possibilities by applying self-formation present self-formation, development and reproduction of artificial object.

Full textAbstract:
On the basis of an integration of dual–process models of information processing and the lens model framework of person perception, we conducted two studies to investigate whether self–perceivers could detect their implicit disposition from video feedback of behavioural cues and whether these cues were used for explicit dispositional inferences under conditions that maximized the presumed self–perception process. Using an approach that differed from previous research, we used the following: (i) a more detailed and stepwise self–perception procedure; (ii) a specific explicit measure compared with a global explicit measure; and (iii) disgust sensitivity as a domain with clear, unambiguous cues and an assumed low self–presentation bias. The results from two studies (N = 117 and N = 130) on disgust sensitivity provide the first evidence for the assumed process with regard to bodily reaction cues but not with regard to facial expression cues. These novel findings suggest that people can get to know their unconscious selves better if supporting conditions are met and the right behavioural cues are attended to. Additional boundary conditions of this self–perception process were investigated using display rules and need for closure in Study 2. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

This article develops and mobilises the concept of ‘mundane data’ as an analytical entry point for understanding Big Data. We call for in-depth investigation of the human experiences, routines, improvisations and accomplishments which implicate digital data in the flow of the everyday. We demonstrate the value of this approach through a discussion of our ethnographic research with self-tracking cycling commuters. We argue that such investigations are crucial in informing our understandings of how digital data become meaningful in mundane contexts of everyday life for two reasons: first because there is a gap in our understanding of the contingencies and specificities through which big digital data sets are produced, and second because designers and policy makers often seek to make interventions for change in everyday contexts through the presentation of mundane data to consumers but with little understanding of how people produce, experience and engage with these data.

Semi-structured interviews (N=21) with young SNS „Rate“ profile owners were carried out in order to analyse the main trends in visual self-presentation strategies that 10-12-year-old Estonians use, and have perceived to be in use by others, on SNS. The aim of the study was to capture the role that the norms and rules of mediated culture, as well as the online peer group, have on the visual self-presentation strategies of the young on online environments. The findings of the study indicate that the youth are well aware of the rules and schemas prevalent in the online environments and form their self-presentation according to these norms of the peer culture. Although the understanding of what is considered „cute” enough to be uploaded on the SNS is in constant flux, the young are very conscious of publishing only the very best images of themselves. Thus, I suggest that the impression management on SNS consists of various strategically calculated acts in order to create a desired persona. A four-staged model of visual impression management used by the pre-teens on SNS is provided.

AbstractThe following article is an edited transcript based on the MRS Medalist presentation given by C. Jeffrey Brinker (Sandia National Laboratories and the University of New Mexico) on December 3, 2003, at the Materials Research Society Fall Meeting in Boston. Brinker received the Medal for “his pioneering application of principles of sol-gel chemistry to the self-assembly of functional nanoscale materials.” Nature combines hard and soft materials, often in hierarchical architectures, to obtain synergistic, optimized properties with proven, complex functionalities. Emulating natural designs in robust engineering materials using efficient processing approaches represents a fundamental challenge to materials chemists. This presentation reviews progress on understanding so-called evaporation-induced silica/surfactant self-assembly (EISA) as a simple, general means of preparing porous thin-film nanostructures. Such porous materials are of interest for membranes, low-dielectric-constant (low-k) insulators, and even ‘“nano-valves” that open and close in response to an external stimulus. EISA can also be used to simultaneously organize hydrophilic and hydrophobic precursors into hybrid nanocomposites that are optically or chemically polymerizable, patternable, or adjustable.

Depression in old age is common, disabling and under-treated. This review will examine recent advances in our understanding of its clinical presentation, epidemiology, management and prognosis. The relationship of depression in old age with dementia and with physical illness is also discussed, as are the links between suicide, deliberate self-harm and depression in old age.
