How honest are people when presenting themselves on social media? This honesty has a very broad scope.
Starting from the photos they upload.
Do they look for the best photos before uploading them? How many of them edit their photos first.
In terms of the status or posts they write.
Is it purely the result of their thoughts? Or just wise words that they copy and paste from others? Is there another purpose for every update they upload, such as wanting to show success, significant body changes, attract sympathy, seeking sensation for the sake of popularity.
Are people who engage in deception behavior people who are dissatisfied with themselves? Is there a relationship between deception behavior and each person's selfconcept? According to Harter .
