Today, we are extended…
Technology!
enables an extension of the self into the digital world.
Psychology!
is the paradigm through which we can understand these extensions.
Motivation!
is derived from the unconscious, and is played out through consciousness.
Online Interaction!
largely appeals to the outward, performing aspects of the ego.
Persuasion!
is both intrasubjective and intersubjective.

It’s the psychology, stupid.
!
The internal world is comprised of relationships.
How one sees themselves
How one imagines others see them.
!
!
Freud’s tripartite psyche is still helpful:
id
ego
super-ego
!
!
Online interaction is the domain of the ego…
yet is dictated by unconscious relational
forces

Persona
!
“a kind of mask,
designed on the one
hand to make a definite
impression on others,
and on the other, to
conceal the true nature of
the individual”
C.G. Jung

“False Self”
!
“The false self is set up to
protect the true self - to
respond to challenges in
the environment - the
false self essentially
takes up the role of social
compliance.”
D.W. Winnicott

We Persuade Ourselves
Identity!
is dependent on the stories we tell ourselves
How we show up!
in relation to others fortifies these stories
We are divided!
and need to justify our conflicting urges and desires
What we show!
is ego based, and ego (tries) to synthesise all our other needs
Persuasion!
is both intrasubjective and intersubjective.
