“The Presentation of Self in the Online World”

Research question to help guide me throughout the project:

How does my client portray his true, offline self into the online world? Does he show similar characteristics online as he is away from the screen, or does he disguise himself to be someone else?

This will help me figure out who my client really is based off of his online-self and see if he is giving himself a positive look, because one’s initial judgement of a person online will carry over to how you perceive that somebody face-to-face.

Interview Questions:

  1. Is my client the same person both offline and online?
  2. If my client is any different online than he is away from the screen, then how come?
  3. Are there any attributes about my client that he may be hesitant to show via his online identity?
  4. Does my client think it’s a good or bad idea to show exactly who you are on the web? Or both?
  5. How does my client like to be perceived online? Does he think one would have the same opinion of him offline as they would online?
