Description
Summary:This study discusses the relationship of Online Self-Presentation towards an individual's General Self-Efficacy (GSE), such that, based on this research's hypothesis, the variables of Online Self-presentation help predict an individual's GSE. The participants consisted of 61 Filipinos within the age range of 12 - 18 years. They were asked to answer two questionnaires: the General Self-Efficacy Scale and the Introversion scale. Each participant was also added in the researchers Facebook friends list in order to observe their online self-presentation. In order to determine the predictive effects of online self-presentation, a Multiple Linear Regression was used and results showed that the number of comments and photos were the most indicative in predicting an individual's GSE.
