“…We propose that this need will manifest in virtual environments more prominently than in offline settings. This is supported by previous research that has highlighted the personal home page [38][39][40] and virtual avatars [e.g., 41,42] as channels through which individuals create identities for themselves, which may or may not be accurate representations of their actual selves [43,44]. Admittedly, these self-creations are more common in non-organizational settings, where the likelihood of meeting one's communication partners (e.g., the readers of one's blog) in the real world is low.…”

Para responder a uma questão semelhante num estudo anterior sobre avatares das redes sociais, propus um modelo baseado na combinação das teorias de semiótica de Saussure e Lacan (Sengün, 2014).…”

“…Individuals tend to reproduce either their real self or an improved or idealized self (Taylor, 2002;Bessière et al, 2007;Tisseron, 2009;Jin, 2010). Underlying motivations to such identity works involve either (1) a selfconfirmation perspective or a simple (promotion of a positive self-concept) or compensatory (distortion of negative information in a more positive way) self-enhancement perspective (Messinger, Ge, Stroulia, Lyons & Smirnov, 2008) or (2) a search for consistence with the physical and/or psychic self-concept (Suh et al, 2011).…”
