The use of social media is pervasive among young adults. However, not all posted content is beneficial to their self-presentation, but can have negative and damaging consequences. This study investigated how individual differences in self-monitoring and impulsiveness influence risky online self-presentation in British and Italian samples. British participants (n = 88) were more likely to post comments and images related to their alcohol and drug use, whereas Italian (n = 90) participants posted more offensive content and personal information. High self-monitoring and high impulsiveness was positively predictive of risky self-presentation online regardless of nationality, highlighting the normative influence of social media culture, and the influence of both spontaneous and deliberative behavior on posting inappropriate content online. These novel insights regarding the way young adults present themselves on social network sites could help explain differences in self-presentation.
社交媒体在年轻人中被广泛使用。然而，并非所有发布的内容都有利于他们的自我呈现，反而可能会带来负面和破坏性的后果。本研究调查了个体在自我监控和冲动性方面的差异如何影响英国和意大利样本中的在线风险自我呈现。英国参与者（n=88）更有可能发布与他们的酒精和药物使用相关的评论和图片，而意大利参与者（n=90）则发布了更多冒犯性内容和个人信息。无论国籍如何，高自我监控和高冲动性都与在线风险自我呈现呈正相关，突出了社交媒体文化的规范影响，以及自发性和深思熟虑行为对发布不当内容的影响。这些关于年轻人在社交网站上呈现自我方式的新见解可以帮助解释自我呈现的差异。
