本研究在匿名环境下调查自我表现，并探讨不同种族群体在自我表现方面的差异。基于对83名非裔美国人、拉丁裔、印度裔和越南裔学生的Facebook个人资料的内容分析，并辅以63次面对面访谈，我们发现民族-种族身份是突出的，并且得到了高度阐述。少数民族在呈现高度社会性、文化上明确和详尽的自我叙述方面的大量投资，反映了对更广泛社会中占主导地位的色盲意识形态对少数民族的种族沉默的某种抵制。在Facebook的匿名环境中，正如对校园社会动态的采访和观察所揭示的那样，身份主张的各个方面似乎都植根于线下现实。
The present study investigates self-presentation in a nonymous setting and explores differences in self-presentation by distinct ethno-racial groups. Based on content analysis of 83 Facebook profiles of African Americans, Latino, Indian and Vietnamese ancestry students, supplemented by 63 in-person interviews, we found that ethno-racial identities are salient and highly elaborated. The intensive investments of minorities in presenting highly social, culturally explicit and elaborated narratives of self reflect a certain resistance to the racial silencing of minorities by dominant color-blind ideologies of broader society. In the nonymous environment of Facebook, various dimensions of identity claims appear to be grounded in offline realities as revealed in interviews and observations of campus social dynamics.
