Identity construction on Facebook: Digital empowerment in anchored relationships Early research on online self-presentation mostly focused on identity constructions in anonymous online environments. Such studies found that individuals tended to engage in role-play games and anti-normative behaviors in the online world.

Talks about how the virtual world is self-controlled. Some people put up things based on reactions they hope to gain from friends. Our identity on Facebook could be close or far away from the truth.

This talks about how our Facebook identities are in our own hands and what you put up can never go away, even if untagged or deleted.

This describes that students use what they learn from popular media to help build their online identity.

This is a great site for my research about identity online and how identity is always going through construction or being changed to obtain positive feedback from peers.
