Abstract

Since Goffman’s drama-making theory was put forward, the phenomenon that individuals or groups embellishing their own behaviors by impressions in daily life has attracted wide attention in the academic circle. With the rapid development of social media, Weibo and WeChat have become the main field of interaction among Internet users. Through the interpretation of Goffman’s drama theory, the research found that WeChat became the “front stage” for most users to present themselves, while Weibo became the “backstage” for them to perform freely. Based on this differentiated self-presentation, it is hoped that the public can pay enough attention to it, so as to reduce the imbalance in the role-playing process and promote the harmony of interpersonal relations.
