“…Self-presentation is an important motivation of behavior in both offline (Jones and Pittman 1982;Taylor and Altman 1987) and online situations (Johnsen 2007;Joinson 2001;Joinson and Dietz-Uhler 2002;Tidwell and Walther 2002;Wallace 1999;Walther 1996). Self-presentation and impression management have recently been examined in online-dating settings Gibbs et al 2006), in online forums (Lee 2005), in diaries in web communities (Moinian 2006), in weblogs (Trammell and Keshelashvili 2005), as well as with respect to personal web sites (Marcus et al 2006;Schau and Gilly 2003).…”

A common challenge in many situations of computer-supported collaborative learning is increasing the willingness of those involved to share their knowledge with other group members. As a prototypical situation of computer-supported information exchange, a shared-database setting was chosen for the current study. This information-exchange situation represented a social dilemma: while the contribution of information to a shared database induced costs and provided no benefit for the individual, the entire group suffered when all members decided to withhold information. In order to alleviate the informationexchange dilemma, a group-awareness tool was employed. It was hypothesized that participants would use group awareness for self-presentational purposes. For the examination of this assumption, the personality variable 'protective self-presentation' (PSP) was measured. An interaction effect of group awareness and PSP was found: when an awareness tool provided information concerning the contribution behavior of each individual, this tool was used as a self-presentation opportunity. In order to understand this effect in more detail, single items of the PSP-scale were analyzed.

In this chapter, we look at some fundamental aspects of communicating about ourselves and our health through technology. In particular, we examine how the social psychological theories of self-presentation and self-regulation might be applied to online health-communication. It is argued that the specific qualities of text-based communication might have unique benefits for health-communication through the interplay between the writing process and the concerns posed by health-issues. An understanding of how psychological processes are connected with online health communication is believed to be fundamental in understanding trends within self-help and user-driven health communication, and to predict possible outcomes of such behavior. Also, this knowledge might inform the design and development of patient-centered solutions for health-communication and heath-service delivery.
