[edit]Cyber-socializing and the Internet[edit]
[edit]See also: Online identity, Cyberpsychology, and Sociology of the Internet
The Internet is becoming an extension of the expressive dimension of adolescence. On the Internet, youth talk about their lives and concerns, design the content that they make available to others, and assess the reactions of others to it in the form of optimized and electronically mediated social approval. When connected, youth speak of their daily routines and lives. With each post, image or video they upload, they can ask themselves who they are and try out profiles that differ from the ones they practice in the "real" world. Copied from Identity formation
In addition, “online self-presentation” can be incredibly detailed in its intention to demonstrate a certain version of the user specific to the “norms” of their developmental phase, and this is especially prominent throughout the college transition[1] . Through the multi-faceted model of online self-presentation as previously examined by Yang and Brown[2], four dimensions of self-presentation become evident: breadth (how much information is given), depth (the level of intimacy offered in information provided), positivity (degree to which presentation is positive or negative), and authenticity (how much representation is true to its source). Present-day understandings of the factor “mindfulness” define it as occurring in various levels dependent on the person’s natural state, involving an openness to experience and attention which is self-regulated[3][4]. The added moderator of mindfulness to these dimensions is a relatively unstudied phenomenon, but the degree of mindfulness in an adolescent can alter the measurements of dimensions of self-presentation and the adolescent’s self esteem.
