Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Hosting a profile at a social network site gives everyone the possibility to present numerous aspects of the self online. The increasing popularity of sites like MySpace or Facebook raises various research questions with regard to motives and other factors that influence the individual usage and the form of self-presentation. Previous research has mainly dealt with the related phenomenon of personal homepages and focussed on describing the self-presentation. Emerging research on social network sites within Web 2.0 first of all analyzes the motives for participating. Given the obvious importance of impression management, this study examined the so far scarcely regarded relationship between self-esteem, personality and the self-presentation on a profile within the online-community MySpace. Self-report data on self-esteem, personality and motives for participating of 107 members of the community were assessed by questionnaire and related to the specific form of self-presentation (private details displayed, number of words, number of friends, design). By comparing German and US-American users we further investigated if the self-presentation differs depending on the country of the user. The results show that it is not the motivation but the self-esteem and aspects of personality which influence how the users present themselves online. Also, the study reveals significant differences in self-presentation between the two countries.
