"Digital Cultural Capital":Digital Self-presentation and Subjective Social Status of Youths
With the advent of the digital era,young individuals are allowed to present their life circumstances and manage their self-image,thereby realizing a sense of self-worth.Drawing from a constructivist perspective,this study examines the influence of digital self-presentation on subjective social status among young people,while considering the moderating effects of family background and individual characteristics.Utilizing data from CGSS2017,this study indicates no significant disparity in the digital self-presentation across different social classes among youths.Instead,it is revealed that digital self-presentation can enhance their subjective social status as a distinct form of cultural capital in the digital realm.Furthermore,this unique form of cultural capital exhibits a more pronounced positive impact on youth groups with low family backgrounds,poor socio-economic status,and low sense of social fairness.This study provides insights into the effect of social mobility and compensation of digital cultural capital,indicating that encouraging youth groups,especially marginal youth groups,to express themselves in digital society will help boost their confidence in social status.
