What is self-presentation?
According to the APA Dictionary of Psychology, self-presentation is
“any behaviours intended to convey a particular image of, or detailed information about, the self to others. self-presentational motives explain why an individual’s behaviour often changes as soon as anyone else is thought to be present or watching. Canadian-born U.S. sociologist Erving Goffman (1922–1982) likened self-presentation to a theatrical (dramaturgical) performance in which individuals strive to create an image of themselves through their verbal and nonverbal displays to influence the impressions formed by those around them.”
