Abstract
This study explores the patterns of the self-expression in terms of sharing the diverse pictures according to SNS use focused on the social relationships, and the effects of the diverse online activities on the off-line activity. The study results show that the more SNS use focused on the social relationships, the more sharing the diverse pictures in SNS as a tool of the self-expression. It also shows that the more SNS use focused on the social relationships and the more sharing the pictures with friends, the more active in off-line activity. Both of online and off-line network activities have the statistically significant positive effects on the life satisfaction, which implies that the more active in online and off-line network activities, the higher the life satisfaction.
Keywords
