Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication

Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication

Since the early 2000s, computer-mediated communication (CMC) has grown rapidly, playing a crucial role in self-development. A key distinction between CMC and real-life interactions is the lack of a physically present partner. This absence makes non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, body language, and paralinguistic signals unavailable in CMC platforms like email, instant messaging, or social media. The lack of these cues can create ambiguity and complicate how feedback is interpreted.The...

Area of Science:

Human-Computer Interaction
Data Physicalization
Social Computing

Background:

Traditional conference badges offer limited personal expression.
Data physicalization can enhance engagement with personal data.

Purpose of the Study:

To present the design and making process of Data Badges.
To explore how customizable physical badges facilitate personal data expression and social interaction.

Main Methods:

Design and deployment of modular Data Badges during an academic seminar.
Observation of participants assembling and interpreting their badges.
Analysis of the emergent forms of data expression.

Main Results:

Data Badges were successfully deployed, enabling participants to create personalized expressions of their academic profiles.
The modular design fostered a shared, collective activity, leveraging creative, affective, and social values.
Unexpected appropriations emerged, expanding the representational space from representative to resistive and provocative data expressions.

Conclusions:

Data Badges offer a novel approach to personal data expression and reflection through physicalization.
The collective making process enhances social engagement and creative interpretation.
The design accommodates diverse and emergent forms of data representation, moving beyond purely representative uses.
