On the one hand, an individual’s current beliefs, views of the self, and aims influence their memory and judgment of their past selves. On the other hand, what exactly an individual remembers, as well as how past selves and experiences are remembered influences an individual’s current identity (Wilson & Ross, 2003). In this way, autobiographical memory is inevitably linked to and plays an important role in the construction of identity (Wilson & Ross, 2003). Identity is constructed especially in adolescence and early adulthood and involves identifying who an individual is, what is valued and how one would like to spend their life (Berk, 2013). It is usually thought of as being fixed and stable over time, however, contrary to beliefs, identity is constantly changing throughout life (Berk, 2013). Moreover, a stable identity describes an individual who is confident enough to be him or herself and also represents the values, which are seen as important, to the outside (Sheldon & Elliot, 1999). Furthermore, people will present themselves differently to different people and in varying contexts, presenting a different part of their identity in each case (Goffman, 2002). Consequently, the concept that an individual might have multiple roles or identities is called hybridised identity (Bennett & Folley, 2014). In this sense, an individual can occupy roles such as being a student, employee, and child to their parents simultaneously and all of these roles are part of the individual’s identity. Online identity. Social networking sites are defined as “web-based services that allow individuals to (1) construct a public or semi-public profile within a bounded system, (2) articulate a list of other users with whom they share a connection, and (3) view and traverse their list of connections” (boyd & Ellison, 2007, p. 211). According to some postmodern theorists, people construct their identities using these social networking sites, consumer goods and other mass media (Marwick, 2013). More specifically, people will construct their identities based on the clothes they wear or the media they consume. In this way, people separate themselves from others and show who they are by putting their belongings on display and showing off their individuality (Woodward, 1997). In a sense, social networking sites, such as Facebook or Instagram, might support this way of presenting one’s identity, as these platforms allow people to share these parts of their life, while other parts, such as emotions and interpersonal connectedness are more difficult to convey through social media. This view also supports the notion of an online identity, however, this is often seen as different from the offline identity (Marwick, 2013). Suler (2005) argued that due to the anonymity of social media, individuals might behave differently online than they would offline.PDF Image | Facebook and Instagram emotions identification automatically generated autobiography
