Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine facebook users' self-presentation on facebook in terms of narcissism and the relationship of narcissistic self-presentation and variables of self-esteem, using patterns, and information types. The results showed that facebook users' self-presentation were not likely to be narcissistic. In self-presenting on facebook users were likely to be exhibition but they are not likely to be ingratiating and competent. And this study failed to support the association of narcissistic self-presentation and self-esteem. But results suggested that facebook using patterns including frequency and period of use affected narcissistic self-presentation. Finally, profile information, but not posting information was correlated with narcissistic self-presentation.

본 연구의 목적은 페이스북 이용자들이 페이스북에서 자신에 관한 정보를 제공함에 있어 자기과시적인 자기표현을 하는 지와 자기과시적 자기표현이 자아존중감, 이용행태, 정보유형과 관련되어 있는지를 확인하는데 있다. 이를 위해 페이스북 이용자들을 대상으로 조사한 자료를 분석한 결과, 페이스북 이용자들은 자기과시적인 자기표현을 하는 정도가 낮은 것으로 분석되었다. 자기과시적 표현을 함에 있어 자신을 드러내는 표현은 하지만 환심을 사거나 자신을 유능하게 보이려는 식의 표현 정도는 낮았다. 또한 페이스북 이용자들이 갖고 있는 자아존중감은 자기과시적 자기표현에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 페이스북 이용자들의 페이스북 이용 횟수, 이용 기간, 프로필 이용 횟수, 포스팅 횟수는 자기과시적 자기표현에 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 정보유형에 있어서 페이스북에서의 자기과시적인 자기표현과 프로필 정보유형간의 상관관계는 유의미한 결과를 얻지 못했지만 포스팅 정보유형 간에는 유의미한 상관관계가 있었다.
