  • Self-Presentation on Social Media

    Anlan Zheng, Brittany R L Duff et al.ARTICLEJournal of Interactive Advertising2020

    Social media affords users the ability to control how they present themselves to their audience. People generally choose to show an ideal self-image on social media. However, this may be dependent on the strength of their ties to the audience that can see their content. The present research found that people choose to share things that are self-enhancing to both close and distant friends. However, they seem to self-verify (such as admitting weakn…

  • I See Myself through My Avatar

    Gunwoo Yoon, Patrick T Vargas et al.ARTICLEAsiascape Digital Asia2016

    In the present research we argue that avatars, as identity containers, can mirror people’s self-concepts. Research in cultural psychology suggests that East Asians tend to be more tolerant of contradictions and that they more easily adjust their self-concepts in accordance with changing contexts compared to North Americans (see Heine 2001). We therefore assume that preferred forms of avatars among East Asians and North Americans are different bec…

  • Oriental imagery and American attitudes toward Asia

    Changsup Shim, Patrick T Vargas et al.ARTICLEJournal of Tourism and Cultural…2014References: 18

    The concept of Orientalism has served to define post-colonial thinking, reflecting the West's interpretation of non-Western individuals and cultures. In this binary set, the West/us is approached as representing the standard, while the East/them represents that which is outside the norm. For the last few decades, Orientalism has continued to influence discussions in tourism studies; nevertheless, there is a dearth of empirical studies examining h…

  • Writing with Pictures

    Linda M Scott, Patrick T Vargas et al.ARTICLEJournal of Consumer Research2007Cited by: 4References: 23

    Studies of response to advertising images follow parallel streams: one treats visuals as sensory data; the other, operating under rhetorical theory, presumes that images are communicative artifacts. By revisiting a seminal article by Mitchell and Olson, we empirically demonstrate an alternative explanation for results under the sensory approach, while also establishing the basis for complex statements like tropes. We argue that consumers read pro…

  • Extraversion, Threat Categorizations, and Negative Affect

    Open AccessMichael D Robinson, Brian P Meier et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality2005

    The authors sought to measure a component of the avoidance self‐regulation system, specifically one related to object appraisal functions. Participants performed a choice reaction time task (Studies 1 & 2) or a go/no go task (Study 3) in which they were asked to categorize words (e.g., knife ) as threatening in nature. In a series of three studies involving 236 undergraduates, the authors found that introverts who were skilled at categorizing eve…

  • Trait as Default

    Michael D Robinson, Emily Crawford Solberg et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…2003Cited by: 1References: 38

    On the basis of prior work suggesting that trait self-knowledge serves a "fill-in" function when event-specific information is missing (M.D. Robinson & G. L. Clore, 2002a), we sought to demonstrate that extraversion is a more reliable predictor of subjective well-being (SWB) judgments among certain individuals than among others. Four studies involving a total of 260 participants revealed that the extraversion-SWB relation was relatively weaker am…
