psycnet.apa.org – Abstract Impression Management 2.0.
*A survey among 58 users of the German Web 2.0 site, StudiVZ.net, and a content analysis of the respondents' profiles showed that self-efficacy with regard to impression management is strongly related to the number of virtual friends, the level of profile detail, and the style of the personal photo. The results also indicate a slight influence of extraversion, whereas there was no significant effect for self-esteem. *
