QUOTES

“…an individual is less aware of his or her personal identity and that of others. Correspondingly, there is a heightened awareness of group boundaries and distinctions based on cues to social identity.”(Bacev-Giles and Haji, 2017,p. 51)

> With increased deindividuation, people develop a tendency to draw sharper lines.

“People are attracted to those they perceive are similar to themselves and similar to their ideals” (p. 52)

> Just with the impression, individuals decide to like people who are similar to them more.

“…people form a number of favourable impressions after only briefly viewing an ambiguous online target.” (p.56)

> Forming an impression takes only a very short time.
