People may form inaccurate impressions about us from our social media posts, finds new Cornell University research that is the first to examine perceptions (认知) of our personalities based on online posts.

An analysis of online status updates found great difference between how viewers saw the authors across a range of personality traits, and the authors' selfperceptions.

Viewers rated the Internet users on average as having lower selfesteem and being more selfrevealing, for example, than the users rated themselves. Status updates containing photos, videos or links in addition to text facilitated more accurate assessments than those with just text the researchers found.

Overall, they said, the study sheds light on the dynamic process by which a cyber audience tries to make sense of who we are from isolated fragments (碎片) of shared information, jointly constructing our digital identity.

“The impression people form about us on social media based on what we post can differ from the way we view ourselves，” said Qi Wang, professor of psychology and director of the Culture & Cognition Lab. “A mismatch between who we are and how people perceive us could influence our ability to feel connected online and the benefits of engaging in social media interaction.”

The Cornell researchers believe their study is the first to investigate audience perceptions of social media users through their posts. On platforms, users often share fragmentary personal narratives while interacting with “friends” they may know only a little or sometimes not at all.

Interestingly, the study found that online status updates generated perceptions of users that were consistent with cultural standards in offline contexts concerning gender and ethnicity－even though viewers were blind to their identities.

Wang said the findings could help developers design interfaces that allow people to express themselves most authentically.

“If people's view of us is very different from who we actually are, or how we would like to be perceived，” Wang said, “it could harm our social life and wellbeing.”

In the days before the Internet, critical thinking was the most important skill that informed citizens could have. To think critically, you need to read carefully, consider the credibility of sources, and reason out conclusions on your own.

But right now, according to Anastasia Kozyreva, a psychologist at the Max Planck Institute of Human Development, and her colleagues, we live in an “attention economy” in which corporations compete for our attention, emotion and time. They lure (诱惑) us in with stories that stimulate our emotions while providing little useful information, all so they can expose us to revenue­generating advertisements.

To protect ourselves from attention manipulation online, we need to develop new ways of interacting with information. Kozyreva and colleagues advocate for learning the skill of critical ignoring, and point out that we can practice critical ignoring with the following tools.

The first strategy is self­nudging. This involves avoiding low­quality information so that we have more quality time for ourselves. It also calls for the removal of distracting and hard­to­resist stimuli from the environment around us.

Of course, we need to stay informed of world events and in touch with others, so we can't just ignore the Internet altogether. Then when you do go into social media, you'd better set time limits. Limiting yourself in this way prevents you from losing track of time as you click on one attractive link after another. It's also a good idea not to use Internet time as a reward so that you'll lessen its appeal.

Another strategy is lateral reading. It involves opening up new browser tabs (标签) to find more about the source of the information, whether it is the site of a mainstream news agency or a lesser­known one, before diving into its contents. Only after consulting the open web can we determine whether expending attention is worth it.

Likewise, it's also good to check the source of the information in an Internet post. Headlines are often deceiving. They're designed to attract attention, not provide information. A sensational claim may provide a link with a headline that seems to support it, but a careful reading of the original source shows it doesn't.

5．What does Kozyreva say about “attention economy”？

A．It can cause people emotional problems.

B．It sacrifices our time and concern for profit.

C．It has led to a great variety of advertisements.

D．It draws people's attention to useful information.

6．What are we advised to do to train our critical ignoring skills?

A．Limit our sources of information.
