Abstract

This study aims to look at the role of the personality traits conscientiousness and openness to experience in shaping the behavior of displaying authentic self as one method of online self-presentation. Authentic self describes the authenticity of an individual’s identity in online media. A total of 209 participants were asked to complete the Presentation of Online Self Scale for Adult (POSSA) and Mini International Personality Item Pool (Mini IPIP) questionnaires. Both questionnaires are multidimensional, so all participants were asked to fill in items that were in the dimensions of conscientiousness, openness to experience and authentic self only. By using multiple regression analysis techniques, it is known that trait conscientiousness and openness to experience significantly influence and play a role of 4.3% in shaping the behavior of displaying authentic self on social media. The relationship between the three variables is positive. So it can be concluded that the higher a person’s level of trait conscientiousness and openness to experience, the higher the likelihood of displaying his authentic self or real self on social media. With a high authentic self score, the self-presentation that a person displays in the real world and the virtual world is consistent.
