“…When creating their virtual selves, users embody their identities through the construction of their avatars, with the intention to achieve their claimed personality (Ayiter, 2010;Yee et al, 2009). Through their profiles, individuals can share additional information regarding their interests or beliefs, further emphasizing the social aspects of a given identity.…”

Virtual social environments opened the door to individual experiences that may not be feasible or possible in real physical settings; in turn bringing to question the applicability of certain more traditional theories to digital environments. Addressing some of this gap in the available literature, in the current study, we compare virtual and real life identities simultaneously, as well as explore the impact of selfconsciousness on virtual identity. Our results indicate that while some of the overall trends are similar between identities constructed in the physical world and those constructed in virtual settings, different identity elements and dimensions tend to be emphasized to different degrees. Furthermore, we find evidence for the role of private in addition to public self-consciousness as influencing virtual existence. In other words, in addition to the general emphasis concerning the role of socially influenced external elements in the formulation of virtual identities, the current study highlights the importance of more internalized and individual level attitudes and perceptions, including one's inner thoughts, emotions, and perspectives. Implications and future directions are discussed.

“…Manus ise evli kadınlar üzerinde kurulan egemenliği ifade etmektedir [70] . Roma Hukuku'na ilişkin kaynaklarda manus'a bir nevi evlat edinme gözüyle bakılabileceğine ilişkin ifadeler yer almaktadır [71] . Bu nedenle manus, hukukî işlemden doğan baba egemenliği içerisinde ele alınmaktır.…”

Bengi Sermet SAYIN KORKMAZ 51 2020/3 Ankara Barosu Dergisi HAK EMLİ ÖZ Aile; Roma toplumunun en önemli kurumlarından biri olmuş ve her dönemde önemini korumuştur. Aile hukukuna ilişkin konularda gelenek hukuku etkili olmuş ve baba egemenliği esasına dayandırılmıştır. Bu bağlamda Roma'da aileyi ifade etmek için kullanılan familia terimi ile pater familias ve onun egemenliği altındaki bireyler kastedilmiştir. Bu hukuksal durumun kanundan ya da hukukî işlemden doğabileceği hükme bağlanmıştır. Evlat edinme, baba egemenliğine girmenin hukukî işleme dayandığı durumlardan biridir. Roma Hukuku'nda adoptio ve adrogatio olmak üzere evlat edinmenin iki usulü bulunmaktaydı. Roma toplumu açısından evlat edinme işlemi öncelikle ailenin devam etmesi fikrini temsil ederdi. Bu kapsamda, evlat edinme ailenin ismini devam ettirmek, gelirini arttırmak ve savunmasını sağlamak gibi çeşitli amaçlarla yapılmaktaydı.

“…Anyone can change the way they look with a few clicks of the mouse (Ananthaswamy, 2007). Ayiter (2010) found that just as people choose their selfrepresentations in virtual environments, their self-representations shaped their behaviors in turn. These changes happen not over hours or weeks, but within minutes.…”

Rooted in the Theory of Social Construction of Reality and informed by media and gender portrayal and virtual communities research, this study examines how beauty is socially constructed in Second Life. Specifically, a content analysis of 360 still images of female avatars was conducted to understand how people construct beauty in a virtual community. Findings suggest that people chose gender stereotypical images even when they have the free choice to create any avatar they desire. Trendy and sex kitten/sensual beauty types were the most-portrayed beauty types. Almost all the female avatars had a perfect body size. And more than 80% of the avatars coded in this study had light skin. In addition, this study found a significant difference in beauty type among avatars with different amounts of body coverage and a significant difference in beauty type among different types of products. However, no significant difference was found in beauty type between avatars with different skin color nor was there a significant difference in beauty type among avatars with different body sizes. Overall, this study provides valuable insights in understanding how beauty is socially constructed in the virtual world and advances the theory of social construction of reality in today's dynamic environment.
