To Share or Not to Share: A research paper on self-censorship on social media
The First Amendment is a fundamental right in the United States of America that has been
fought for by its citizens for many years. It allows truth and liberty to rise. The United States is
the country that first brought such a law into place upon which it allows truth and liberty to
heave. According to this law, people should be free of censorship and self-censorship (Rodman,
2012). There are different levels of protection, which depend on the source type and the receiver
of the communication. For instance, pornography and obscenity are types of communication that
have the least level of protection by the government. Despite the fact that the government
enforced this law, there can be other reasons why people would not make use of this right. Social
media sites (SMS) are platforms that allow people to communicate and apply their freedom of
speech.
The First Amendment has the highest level of protection on SMS, which means that people have
complete freedom of communicating anything. They are free to express themselves without the
interference of the government or censorship. Steven Barnett (2013) argued that the First
Amendment could only work in an ideal world and emphasized that this is not an ideal world.
Others say that sharing information on SMS sites will remain permanently as an archive and that
is why it is essential to consider the level of privacy of the person on SMS (Enriquez, 2013).
Even though these are opinions of communication professionals they are not based on theory.
Other outside factors influence self-censorship on SMS. These can include the opinion of others
about the self. The opinion of others can impact people’s professional life and their self-esteem,
among other factors. The power of SMS is that the information shared can be imprinted through
years on platforms and spread among millions of people.
Research questions:
The following questions have been developed to achieve a more specific understanding
and goal of the study:
To Share or Not to Share 3
RQ1: Could situations on SMS that cause a negative reaction on people lead to a society that is
afraid of sharing their opinions?
RQ2: Are there people who self-censor to prevent situations that could lead to confrontation?
RQ3: Are people afraid that authority or influence in their lives can judge them or harm them?
RQ4: What source of influence, such as a boss, a peer, or an unknown party, has more impact on
self-censorship?
RQ5: Do people share what they think or keep their opinions to themselves?
RQ6: What are other reasons why people would self-censor themselves on SMS?
RQ7: What are the most common reasons why people self-censor themselves on SMS?
RQ8: Are SMS exercising an adverse effect on freedom of expression?
Purpose/Rationale
The internet has become a medium of communication that is assisting globalization. It
allows people to intercommunicate, share their opinions, ideas, and thoughts. SMS are a medium
of communication that is protected by the First Amendment. As SMS make people take
responsibility for what they distribute, SMS can lead to positive or negative consequences.
In June 2017 Harvard University withdrew admissions to ten prospective students for sharing
offensive memes in a private Facebook chat, “Harvard Crimson” reported, (2017, Schmidt).
These messages target minority groups in the United States, such as Mexicans. This example
shows that people’s freedom of expression can be risky on SMS if they share an idea that
contradicts or offends a particular group, even if the aggression is done in a private message
group. There are different ideas on the internet as there are all over the world. However, this type
of situation shows that even if the First Amendment protects people’s freedom to communicate,
individuals are responsible and have to face any consequences that arise from their messages.
Since postings are easier to prove as libel than spoken defamation, there could be fear of
expression among individuals who want to post their ideas.

For this study, it is essential to understand the significance of the First Amendment, Social
Media Sites (SMS), and behavior of people on Social Media Sites.
First Amendment and the U.S.
The first country to create a law to protect freedom of speech was the United States of
America, the First Amendment. Freedom of speech is not omnipresent around the world. In fact,
it is the country that assures the most protection of freedom of speech. For instance, Article 10 of
the European Union Constitution guarantees the right of freedom of speech to every citizen.
However, it does not provide complete immunity as it argues. This article underlines the main
idea of freedom of speech, but there are exceptions in this freedom to avoid certain situations.
This argument still gives the government some control and less protection to people.
Furthermore, the European article was published in 1950 and later adopted by all EU countries in
1998, (Rodman, 2012). In contrast, the United States adopted the First Amendment in 1791,
(Rodman, 2012). Aside from European freedom of speech, there are hundreds of countries that
have not even been able to establish a law that protects the liberty of expression as a right. In
countries such as Mexico, the government carries a lot of control over the people's freedom of
expression. There was an incident where the president gave a speech in one of the most
important universities of Mexico City. The students screamed, “The IBERO does not want you.”
IBERO being the name of the school. The mass media, such as newspapers, published this event
as “Successful speech of the president in IBERO university.” This type of situation continually
happens in countries with government control over the media. Some autocratic regimes in
Muslim nations imply extreme penalties for blasphemous speech, (Greenblatt, 2013). The
penalties can be so strict that in some cases death can be carried as a consequence. These
comparisons show how privileged the USA is and it stands as an example of liberty of
expression for other countries.

Freedom of Speech and Influence of New Technologies.
Since 1791 to the 21st Century, there have been uncountable situations that involve the
First Amendment in the United States. The world has entered an era with new technologies that
are continually developing and changing. The introduction of the Internet in 1990 to the world as
World Wide Web, by Tim Barners-Lee, has strongly impacted the entire world, (Rodman, 2012).
Technological Determinism is when a technology emerges and impacts society in such a way
that it radically changes the world. Therefore, the internet is changing and molding societies. The
theory of Media Ecology also makes evident that media has an impact on the whole society,
(Rodman, 2012). Just as a drop of colorant that falls into a glass of water changes the substance.
As living beings have had to evolve with these new technologies, they are adopting behaviors
correlated with using these means. The internet, at its 21st-century stage, a.k.a Web2.0, enhances
globalization because it allows people from all over the world to intercommunicate. As the
internet is a medium of communication which enables people to share their opinions protected
by the First Amendment. However, having the First Amendment as a right is not the only
motivation for people to decide whether or not to publish an opinion of their own.
Social media sites (SMS).
Social Media Sites are platforms used by people to communicate using a computer,
laptop, cellphone, tablet, among other electronic devices. Some of these sites are Facebook,
Twitter, YouTube, Snapchat, LinkedIn, etc. People around the USA share millions of posts on
SMS every day. The number of people connecting through these social platforms continues to
grow. On June 27th, 2017, Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO, and founder of Facebook shared on his
Facebook profile that Facebook had reached two billion users, (Zuckerberg, 2017). The entire
world population consists of eight billion people. Thus, about 25% of the population in the world
owns an online profile at least on Facebook. All of the social media platforms are an open space
that leads to constant exposure of people’s thoughts, opinions, and lives. One could argue that
To Share or Not to Share 6
people's privacy equals the publication they decide to share or not on SMS. Furthermore
information about users that is considered private on SMS can be extracted by hackers or sold by
the platform. There are professional hackers who have been able to break into personal details of
people, companies, and even the government, (Andone, 2017). In one occasion, a threat that
appeared to go against Donald Trump appeared in websites of four states of the government of
the United States, (Andone, 2017).
Self-presentation
Goffman’s theory of self-presentation argues that people consciously think how they
want to present themselves to others. As he mentioned, “we act better than we know how,”
(Goffman, 1959). The persona that people enact varies depending on the situation. For instance,
a person will act differently in the company of family than when spending time with friends.
Studies found that SMS groups allow people to fulfill certain identity needs, which leads to high-
self-esteem, (Schmalz, Colistra & Evans, 2015). For instance, an individual has the desire to be
identified as an intelligent person. To do so, this person will want to have good grades in school,
argue about topics that an intelligent person would know to fit in accordance to the tag of
intelligence. This reaffirms the theory of Goffman, as he says that people’s life is like a stage
where they act in ways they want to be perceived by others. Goffman wrote, “Life itself is an
enacted stage,” (1959). Studies also found that a group classified as low social status can lead to
a negative social identity, (Schmalz, Colistra & Evans, 2015). If a group is in a low social status,
it is more likely that they will have a negative reputation among society. People want to identify
themselves with high social status groups. If a group’s reputation is threatened, the members are
likely to lessen their interaction with the group or try to change the perception of the group or
will indeed leave the group. These changes occur because their social identity is threatened. SMS
are platforms where the character of people is more vulnerable since they continuously expose to
each other. Everyone can have different social identities as Goffman mentioned. However, these
To Share or Not to Share 7
social identities can be self-censored or manipulated to create an appealing profile that increases
self-esteem.
Privacy on SMS
According to a report the Bureau of Labor Statistics on the use of the internet, in general,
20% of adults from 18-29 make use of social media platforms to send messages; 5% create or
work on their online journal or blog and 3% rate a product, service or person, (2017). These
findings show that users use SMS around 28% of the time to expose what they think in different
ways. There is information that people decide whether or not they are willing to share it. The
privacy settings on SMS often change, which makes private data more likely to disseminate
among unknown users. Furthermore, SMS users are more likely to accept the privacy settings
that the platform offers as already predetermined, which are usually the most basic ones. This
behavior leads to a decrease in people’s privacy.
Self-disclosure on SMS
Self presentation defined by Van Dijk (2013) is the presentation of a specific self-
scenario of an idealized self and identity contingencies that create a social identity-maker (e.g.,
being a student, being an athlete.) This "identity-maker" allows people to highlight differences or
similarities among each other. Studies have found that honest self-disclosure happens more in
real life than in SMS. People do share information on SMS. However, it does not mean they
support the information they share. They can avoid getting involved in desired conversations by
self-censoring. Previous work found that SMS users subconsciously utilize these platforms to
represent themselves in an appropriate manner that targets a specific audience. Other findings
say that 71% of active users on SMS last minute show some level of self-censorship, (Das &
Kramer, 2013). Women are also more likely to self-censor than men. However, the types of self-
censorship communication might vary. For instance, people might censor themselves from
sharing a political debate to an unknown audience or sending a message to their peers. A study
To Share or Not to Share 8
found that adults, practitioners, or policy makers stress about the risks of the opportunities and
risks that sharing personal information can produce, (Van, Van, Ponnet & Walrave, 2015). This
leads to a greater critical thinking from adolecents on what type of information they decide to
disclose. Findings also say that people are prone to share their personal experiences online
because this satisfies their social goals, (Wang, 2013). They also say that the attributes shown
online can help stenghten a postivie offline image of themselves. These findings show that SMS
is a platform for people to constantly think about how they want to be perceived by others on
SMS.
Open debates on SMS
Another type of communication through SMS is public debates. Through face-to-face
communication or communication through a telephone device, people have to answer in that
exact moment. In contrast, SMS allows people to communicate at any time. This is because a
person will not necessarily be using SMS when someone sends them a message. They can also
be present online and still take as much time as they want to respond. This time-lapse provides a
higher amount of time for users to think of their response and whether they will self-censor.
Findings say that individuals who have a stronger attitude are more likely to express their
opinions on SMS. These findings add to the supposition that feeling powerless can lead others to
self-censor. Other studies found that people who participate in debates with hostile views are less
likely to answer.
Impact of Negative Information on Reputation
People are likely to use SMS as a mean to improve their self-esteem. SMS regularly deal
with people’s reputations. Findings say that people tend to show a more positive life on SMS
than their actual lives, (Hall & Canton, 2016). Goffman’s theory explains a ramification of self-
presentation called self-promotion. As he states, “strategy of self-presentation, the goal of which
is to persuade an audience that the actor is highly competent, accomplished or successful,”
To Share or Not to Share 9
(Goffman, 1959). Individuals do so to enhance their self-esteem because social media platforms
are a continuous mutual exposure of the self-presentation. This means that people who use social
media sites are constantly trying to present their best self appearance on SMS. This judgment can
lead to negative consequences for their lives and a menace for their self-esteem. The misuse of
information can affect personal, academic and professional decisions. For instance, 1 out of
every 5 adults have taken sexual pictures and have sent them to others, (Lenhart & Duggan,
2014). This interaction is called sexting. These pictures can be sent within people who are
trusted. However, there are many ways in which the content can disseminate among SMS with
unknown people, (Hanna, 2017). People who receive these photos could target the ones who
appear as unprofessional.
The Influence of Others.
Social media policies imply company authority that influences people’s posts on SMS.
These social media policies can include nondisclosure agreements, which deny exposure of
specific information. In 2012, 31% of people who worked for a company had a policy with the
use of SMS, (Gillespie, 2012). However, researchers expect that there will be an increase in the
number of policies since the amount of SMS use is continuously growing. The studies also found
that around 53% of male respondents said that companies should have penalties for content
posted on SMS. In contrast, 39% of women agreed with these arguments, (Gillespie, 2012).
Cyber vetting is a term used for people who use SMS to evaluate job applications, (Right
Management to Provide Personal Websites, 2014). This behavior has become a trend for some
companies. Cyber vetting is another characteristic that could lead to self-censorship on SMS for
people who are looking for a job or are already in the workforce.
Another mean that influences people’s posts on SMS are relatives. Parents, grandparents
or other relatives considered can profoundly affect what people post on SMS. For instance, a
young adult who wants to impress his/her parents and make a self-appearance of a studious,
To Share or Not to Share 10
friendly, and happy person, might be prone to share publications that encourage this perspective.
This is in regard of the self-presentation theory as people act in certain ways to show a positive
image of themselves, (Goffman, 1959). People who think of their friends as significant might
behave in a certain way to share information that will satisfy these friends’ expectations. People
want to feel accepted to have a sense of self-belonging to improve their self-esteem.
A study called the Milgram Effect (1974) analyzes how an event such as the Holocaust in
Germany can happen, (Helm, & Morelli, 1979). Stanley Milgram explains through a
psychological procedure how people could involve themselves in such cruelty. This process is
called a moral transformation, where the morals of people change, and their cognition has a
reverse effect. The adverse information is exposed and processed little by little in the
individual’s mind. The psychological change is profoundly affected by authority. Thus, people
tend to look for guidance through their leading authority. In the case of the Holocaust, the Nazi
government was their most influential authority. This shows the influence that authority has over
people. They feel less than the authority and these can take them to change the way they think.
People on SMS could also be afraid of sources they consider authority and not express the ideas
they want to express.
There have been other cases where people have shared information that is considered
offensive or private. Some of these incidents have led companies to fire employees. The courts
have upheld some these decisions because the posts made on SMS cannot be considered private.
(Park & Abril, 2016). These studies show that people are highly influenced by other people’s
opinions which also has to do with a Spiral of Silence.
The Spiral of Silence is a theory about the public and personal opinion of people.
Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann developed it in 1974. Noelle-Newman based her studies on the
Holocaust in Germany when the massive killing of the Jews occurred in World War ll. There is a
natural tendency of humanity where the minority might lead to isolation. As individuals with
To Share or Not to Share 11
ideas of a minority group begin to silence themselves, the dominant ideas become stronger.
Therefore, this leads to a spiraling where the dominant opinion expands. People are also afraid of
more significant consequences of contradicting an idea that seems more powerful. In the case of
the Holocaust, this happened, as the public opinion grew through mass media, such as
propaganda, people were more likely to self-censor to avoid seclusion. Their perception of this
opinion profoundly influenced them. At that time, the political ideology in Germany was the idea
of having a perfect race and kill people who did not possess the established characteristics. This
event showed that fear and power could control masses of people. Since human beings want to
feel accepted and fit in, they gain this fear. As self-censorship becomes widespread, the public
opinion becomes stronger and this makes it even more difficult for minorities to oppose.
Several studies have used the Spiral of Silence as a theory to prove hypotheses related to
behavior on SMS, (Kim, 2016). This theory supports that as more people support the prevailing
opinion, it will be less likely that others will contradict it. Kim also found that people who
perceive hostile opinions on Facebook will be negatively associated with expressing themselves
about politics on Facebook, (Kim, 2016). Political expression on Facebook is positively related
to political participation in real life, (Kim, 2016). This means that people who participate in
political debates in real life are more likely to engage in political discussions on Facebook.
Outside social media, people live in a world that is considered a stage, in each social situation
they present themselves in different manners to give impressions they want to fulfill, (Goffman,
1959). Therefore, if people want to meet their expectations as political commentators, they might
as well do it in the world of the internet.
These examples show ways in which people self-censor on SMS and some reasons self-
censorship occurs. People might censor themselves to represent their persona in a manner that
will fulfill their expectations as people. Self-censorship might also happen to achieve others
expectations of oneself in order to maintain a positive relationship. They might even do so to be
To Share or Not to Share 12
part of a high social status group. Self-censorship might also occur if people want to avoid
confrontation. The feeling of powerless is another reason of self-cesnorship. These studies do not
have specific examples on the levels of influence of the different higher authorities. Thus, this
study considered the levels of effect that each authority posseses over freedom of expression.
The Spiral of Silence, was used as a theoretical framework to understand self-censorship
on SMS. Government-controlled mass media communication was the basis of this theory.
Popular opinion, which is sometimes government-controlled, influences people’s behavior.
During the Holocaust, while fewer people opposed the killing of the Jews, the stronger
the Nazi regime became, the more people were afraid to speak out and supported publicity that
was against their beliefs or morals. The theory explains that peoples’ perception of prevaling
opinion will influence their willingness to express what they think.
The First Amendment of the United States guarantees freedom of expression. The
protection of people’s way of thinking is essential for the freedom and confidence of individuals.
The nation of the United States was the first to approve this law and show its importance to the
world. New forms of technology have had to adapt to this law, such as the SMS. Eventhough the
First Amendment protects freedom of speech, it does not imply that people will always express
what they want. Other authorities can have their policies to censor people’s communication, such
as companies. Relatives are an influene in people’s lives and have an effect on their expression
on SMS. It seems that SMS are public spaces with a limited degree of freedom of speech. It is
essential to evaluate how authorities influence the opinion of people on SMS since it is
considered highly protected by the government but not necessarily protected by the people.
Authorities affect people through social pressures, dominant/mainstream ideologies, and SMS
company policies. Furthermore, this emphasizes that freedom of speech, which leads to freedom
in the United States and the world, still has a long way to go. This study will allow the
To Share or Not to Share 13
understanding of the motivations that drive to self-censorship on SMS. This will enable people to
understand and consider the phenomenon of censorship and self-expression.
Methodology
A quantitative method was used as primary research for this study. This method included
a survey that investigates the behavior of people on SMS. The population sample was the
amount of young adults in the country. There was a systematic and a random sample to have an
acurate representation of the population.
Survey Questionnaire
The questionnaire was arranged from general questions to more specific ones to engage
the participants. These questions are based on the research questions and the gathered data.
In order to make this study as clear as possible for the participants, the following definition of
the First Amendment, by the Legal Information Institute, was defined at the beginning of the
questionnaire: “The First Amendment guarantees freedoms concerning religion, expression,
assembly, and the right to petition the government. It guarantees freedom of expression by
prohibiting Congress from restricting the press or the rights of individuals to speak freely,”
(Esmala, 2017). This definition allowed the participants to understand some questions and
answer as accurate as possible.
Survey Participants
The survey was created to understand the use of people’s right to freedom of expression
specifically on SMS. The First Amendment is a privilege since it implies the best protection of
speech in the world. The United States’ citizens should make use of this right in every possible
manner. However, as the reviewed literature shows, people still self-censor themselves. With
such a respectable law, it is crucial to study the causes why people do censor themselves.
The participants of the survey were young adults, who have to be 19 and older as stated
in Alabama law. Young adults are assumed to be between the ages 19-24. Furthermore, young
To Share or Not to Share 14
adults are beginning to form their ideas and critical thinking. They are the ones who answered
the questionnaire. Most adolescents are dependent on their parents and have not yet fully
developed their cognitive thinking. Thus, adolescents were not part of the survey. Older adults
did not have social media when they were young. They could be uunupdated with the use of
SMS. For this reason, they did not participate in the survey.
The primary method of the survey was random sample. Every Spring Hill College
student was supposed to receive a questionnaire to answer. An email was supposed to be sent to
every student asking to answer the questionnaire. However, this was not possible since the data
base of the students was not obtained. Random Facebook pages were selected to recevie a post of
the link. These groups are specifically created to answer questionnaires and a link was shared to
answer the questionnaire for this specific survey. The benefits for the students is to have an
opportunity to participate in the questionnaire and engage in reasoning about their use on SMS.
This random sample was not entirely by chance since people decided whether or not they wanted
to click on the link. The reasons why people might want to answer the questionnaire could be the
following: Participants might be interested in participating in activities related to college
participation, they might have an interest in the topic, they might have leisure time, or they might
like to participate in activities to contribute with society. The snow ball effect was another
method for the survery, where the link was posted in known Facebook accounts. The motivations
for the snowball effect could have been to help someone they knew with the study, participating
in a cause that involved finding truths, or they were interested in the subject. There was no
payment, this means it was voluntary.
The goal number of samples was 298 responses. This amount gives a level confidence of
95% with a margin error of 3%. The population size consisted of all young adults from 18-24.
However, this number was not achieved as 164 participants answered the questionnaire.
Data Processing
To Share or Not to Share 15
The data obtained from the questionnaire was processed to the platform SPSS Statistics.
SPSS was used to find posible relationships between the research questions and the opinion of
the participants to find out the use of SMS and self-censorship.
The questions were analyzed by using frequencies and relating pairs of questions. The standard
deviations of the questions did not pass 2. This is used to obtain the average closeness of the
responses to the mean. The questions were tested by the Crosstabs with Pearson’s Chi Square.
This is used to find the validity of the answers.
Conclusions and analysis
The presentation of
people on SMS and their
censorship is affected by
the level of confidence of
each person. Participants
were asked to rank the
level of safeness that they
feel on SMS. As shown in
table A people do feel safe
on SMS, (M=5.8, SD=
2.2) Therefore, SMS could be
considered a safe environment to present ideas and thoughts and avoid self-censorship. The
confidence of people to express
their opinions on SMS was not
altered by the level of safeness on
SMS.
Self-presentation
Table A
To Share or Not to Share 16
The 164 participants were asked to rank their likeness of self-censoring on SMS from 1-10. As
shown in table B, people are more likely to self-censor, (M=6.0, SD=2.4) This could answer Q5,
which asks if people share their opinion. The theory of the self-presentation is supported as
people censor themselves depending on the social encounter. In this case, people are not present
in a face-to-face situation but still create social encounters. As mentioned by Goffman (1959),
people display different covers to others constantly thinking how to give a good perception to
people. Each role people present makes the person, there is not a fixed character. There is not a
true self but rather many identities that construct the self. In SMS this could be interpreted as a
profile that does not have a specific
personality but instead photos and posts that make the online self. These presentations allow
people to establish an image to others. As the participants were asked to rank their level of their
self-representation on SMS, they responded that they were likely to show an accurate
presentation of themselves, as shown in table C. (n=6.9, SD=2.1)
The participants were asked if they
only posted information that made
them look good. This question also
has a relationship with the theory of
self-presentation. The respondents
supported the theory of Goffman as
46% (76) people were more likely to
post only positive information about
the self; 43% (71) responded that they
also shared other types of information, and 6.7% (11) did not remember. The posting of mostly
positive information of the self supports that individuals tend
Table B
Table C
To Share or Not to Share 17
to think they are better than they are, (Goffman, 1959). Regarding Q6, one of the reasons people
self-censor is to show a desired image to others and this image tends to be positive. The
relationship between the people who gave “likes” to others in order to receive “likes” back with
the ones who only post self-positive information had a negative relationship; 40% (31) of people
who only post self-positive information are likely to participate in the desire for this “like”
exchange. Therefore, people who only post postivive information about themselves are not
necessarily concerned for the approval (like) of other people. If they think it is positive
information, which means they approve it, they are less likely to be concerned about the “likes”
of others.
Respondents were less likely to erase posts if they did not receive the desired likes,
32.9% (54) did not delete their posts. From these results, 44% (34) of people who only post
positive information about themselves were likely to erase a post if it did not get the expected
success. In contrast, 19% (14) of the people who post not only positive information said that they
did erase their publications when the desired success was not achieved. This shows that people
who self-present themselves only in a positive way are more likely to erase a post if the amount
of likes does not satisfy their expectations. The results show how personality can be reflected in
the behavior of users in SMS.
The results showed a positive relationship between people who did not express their ideas
freely with people who only post information about themselves that made them look good; 77%
(59) of the participants who only posted this positive information about themselves did not
express their ideas freely. These results support the occurrence of self-censorship on SMS and
support the result that shows that people self-censor to show a positive image. These results also
answer Q6, where the reason of self-censorship is to show a good image of themselves.
Opinions of others
To Share or Not to Share 18
The respondents were asked different questions regarding the influence that other people
had on them and how this influence led to self-censorship. The participants were asked to rank
from 1-10 the level of willingness to give their opinion if a higher power could get use of the
information. As shown in table D, they do not have a higher tendency to self-censor. (M=5.2, SD
2.5)
Results found that 36% (60) of
people are more likely to share an
opinion on SMS even if their boss
has a different opinion; 26% (44)
answered they would not and 36%
(58) responded “maybe.” This
suggests that 62% (102) of people
are influenced by their boss’s
opinion. It shows the importance of
the opinion of a higher authority in the professional atmosphere, particularly their bosses.
Evenothough participants were more likely to respond that they gave their opinion even if a
higher power could use their information, they contradicted themselves with other responses. As
explained in the Milgram Study (1979), the effect in the cognitive thinking of people is highly
influenced by the authority of others to the point that people accept an idea little by little. The
results support that people are likely to be influenced to authority. The Spiral of Silence supports
the outcome of the respondents, (Noelle-Neumann, 1977). Whenever there is an opinion that is
dominant or authority claims it to be right, people begin to silence themselves. This makes the
predominant opinion stronger and the spiraling effect occurs. Therefore, this theory is
encountered in social media in relationship with the authority of people’s boss. The results
answer Q3, as people are afraid of sharing their opinions because authority has a power over
Table D
To Share or Not to Share 19
them. Eventhough participants said they gave their opinion even if a higher power could use
their information, they contradicted themselves when they said their boss did influence their self-
censorship.
The results showed that 52% (24) of the people who indicated that they did express their
ideas freely are willing to share their opinion even if their boss did not think the same way; 28%
(13) responded that they were not sure if they would. This means that the other 17% (8) who say
they do express their ideas freely, would still self-censor due to the influence of their boss. Thus,
people who say they do express themselves freely on SMS are less likely to be influenced by
their bosses on SMS. In comparison, 29% (35) participants who indicated that they did not
express their ideas freely were also more likely to self-censor on SMS within the influence of
their boss; 38% (45) answered “maybe,” and the other 31% (37) said they would not self-censor.
This shows that people who do not express their ideas freely are more likely to be influenced by
the opinion of their bosses than people who claim to express freely.
Results indicated that people who say that they are not influenced by the opinion of their boss
have a tendency to look over their SMS profiles if they are looking for a job or a school, (53%)
(33). Participants who indicated that they were influenced by the opinion of their boss were also
more likely to look over their SMS profiles to find a job, 60% (62). This shows that people who
claim to self-censor are more likely to check their presentation on their SMS account than the
ones who claim not to. As Goffman (1959) mentioned, everyone is influenced in a certain degree
by the opinion of others. Peoples’ presentation of themselves is like a theater where they act in
different manners depending on the social encounter they found themselves in. Therefore,
presenting themselves to their bosses is a social encounter that without SMS it would mostly
occur in face-to-face communication.
The results showed that 6% (4) of people who express themselves freely are less likely to
think that their opinions could make them lose their job. 20% (9) of individuals who would self-
To Share or Not to Share 20
censor an opinion due to their boss are also less likely to be afraid of losing their job for their
opinions. However, there is an increase on people’s fear of losing their job from people who
would self-censor. This could show that individuals could self-censor because of fear of the
outcome.
Results found that 54% (24) of people who self-censor when their boss thinks differently
are more likely to avoid sharing their political opinion in order to prevent confrontation. In
comparison, 41% (25) of people who would express freely due to the influence of their bosses
are less likely to avoid sharing their political views to prevent confrontation. This shows that the
ones who are more influenced by the opinion of their bosses are less likely to express what they
think to avoid confrontation. As mentioned, there are policies that some companies have that
determine what type of information people cannot publish on SMS and their expected behavior,
(2012, Gillespie). This would be censoring and people have to act in a certain manner to keep
their jobs. However, these results emphasize the impact of a boss’s opinion.
The study shows a behavior pattern. People who are more likely to self-censor, are
influenced by their boss’s opinion and also want to avoid online confrontation.
The level of education could also have an impact on people’s fear to lose their jobs. The
results show that 46% (54) of people who are college students are afraid that by sharing their
opinions they could lose their job. In comparison, 67% (23) of people who have completed their
bachelor’s degree are less likely to be afraid. These results could occur because people who have
finished their undergraduate education could be ranked as better candidates for a job position
than people who are still studying in college or have any other education status. The findings
also show the value that education gives to people. This could also occur because people who
have a greater education might have a greater level of critical thinking to decide about their
political views. The reasons why undergraduates are less likely to give their political opinion and
graduates are more likely to do so could be a theme used for further research.
To Share or Not to Share 21
Relatives also have an impact on people’s everyday life communication. The participants
were asked to rank the level of influence that their relatives had on their posts from 1-10. As
shown by the graph E, the respondents did not show a tendency to be influenced by their
relatives, (M=5.1, SD=2.7) Participants who are more likely to be influenced by the opinion of
their relatives had a negative relationship with giving likes on posts to receive likes back; 40%
(30). This analysis is of the scale between
6-10 regarding the influence of relatives.
In comparison with the influence that
bosses presented, the influence of
relatives is less presented. This means
that bosses tend to show more authority
on people’s self-censorship on SMS.
Within the open-ended questions,
participants were asked to give an
example of people who would influence their participation and exposure on SMS. Answers
included friends, partners, teachers and religious leaders. From these answers, participants were
most likely to mention partners 5% (9) and friends 4% (7).
The fear of receiving negative comments is also related to the opinion of others. Findings show
that people who are in college are more likely to be afraid of receiving negative comments than
people with a Bachelor’s degree; 73% (25) of participants with a Bachelor’s degree and 61%
(72) of students were not afraid of receiving negative comments. The findings show that people
who completed their college education are more like to express themselves freely on SMS
platforms. Graduates are also less likely to be influenced by others. This could also show the
value of an education and how it makes a person more self-confident.
Graph E
To Share or Not to Share 22
The findings suggest a negative relationship between the action of “liking” posts for the purpose
of receiving “likes” back, with having a college degree; 38% (13) did “like” other posts to
receive “likes.”
Participation in Debates
The government of the United States is part of the country’s structure and it is an authority over
the people. Although the United States is a democracy, the government still has the power to set
rules and organize the country. Participants were asked if they avoided sharing their political
views to avoid confrontation, 52% (86) indicated that they did not share their opinion to avoid
confrontation. This answer had a negative relationship with having a public profile on SMS as
24.4% (21) of the people who have their SMS profiles public avoided sharing their political
views. A decrease was shown on the relationship of participants who had their profiles private,
as 16% (12) of people who avoided giving their political opinion had their profiles in private
mode. Therefore, people who have their SMS profiles in private are more likely to avoid
confrontation and are also more reserved to give their opinion on SMS. This relationship could
show why participants also do not have their profile on private, which is the avoidance of
confrontation. The results indicated a positive relationship between participants who have fear of
receiving negative comments and the ones who have their SMS profiles on public mode, as 40%
(22) of people fear to receive negative comments also have their profile private; 32% (18) vary
their configuration depending on the social media platform, such as Facebook or Twitter; 27%
(15) have it public. This emphasizes the tendency that people are less likely to express
themselves if they present their profiles as private on SMS.
Results suggested that 83% (72) of people who do not use SMS to get their point across
avoid sharing their political views to avoid confrontation. This could be a reason why people
would want to impart their ideas or opinions.
To Share or Not to Share 23
The level of education could also influence the willingness to share a political view. As
people with a higher education could have a greater critical thinking; education deals with
learning. The results showed that 55% (19) of participants who avoided to share their political
ideals to prevent confrontation had Bachelor’s degree; 51.3% (60) were college students.
Regarding the level of education, self-censorship on political opinion is still presented. There is a
difference of 3.7% from people who had a Bachelor’s degree and people who were college
students. This is not a significant difference but it still shows that people with a Bachelor’s had a
tendency to avoid the sharing of their political opinions. This behavior could be caused due to
the fact that they are more are more educated and could be more self-aware of their presentation.
This supports the study that suggests that people are more likely to want to feel associated with a
group with a higher social status, (2015, Schmalz, Colistra & Evans). As people tagged with
having a high education, they could feel more secure about themselves and be able to express
their ideas more openly.
Regarding the topic of expressing themselves freely and having a college degree, the
findings showed a negative relationship, as 35.4% (12) of graduates indicated they expressed
freely on SMS. In comparison, college students also showed a negative relationship with
freedom of expression. 26.5% (31) college students said they expressed their ideas freely. This
contrast between college students and graduates’ freedom of expression shows that graduates are
more likely to express freely on SMS. The findings support the Spiral of Silence. Since people
with higher education are more self-confident to communicate freely, they are more likely to
self-censor others. Graduates are not necessarily the government, but they still have a higher
social status.
Gender
This topic was included as an extra to the findings since it shows tendencies that stand
out and are relevant to mention. The outcomes presented in the questionnaires concerning gender
To Share or Not to Share 24
have different tendencies that show a difference between male and female behavior. The
participants included 50% women (82) and 48% men (80.) Two participants decided to leave
their gender as “prefer not to respond.”
The level of likeness of SMS between males and females is similar. Both genders tend to
have gratification with the use of SMS, as 74% (61) of women and 78% (63) of men indicated a
level between 7-10 in the scale. The results also showed that 48% (40) of women spend more
than three hours on SMS, in comparison to 31% (25) of men. Results also suggested that males
are more likely to spend about two hours on SMS, 48% (38) of men and 31% (25) women.
It was frequently encountered that both genders are less likely to express their ideas
freely on SMS. The results indicated that 9% (15) of women and 18% (31) of men express their
ideas freely on SMS; 15% (26) of women and 11% (18) of men indicated that they did not
express their ideas freely on SMS. However, a number of participants responded, “more or less.”
Those who responded “more or less,” do not express their ideas freely because the question does
not ask if every idea is expressed freely. The question asks if ideas are expressed freely in
general and 40% (40) of women and 18% (31) of men answered “more or less.” This means that
in total 49% (55) of women and 29% (49) of men reported they censor on SMS.
Results suggested that women are more likely to self-censor their political ideas to avoid
confrontation; 43% (35) of males and 61% (50) of women respondents indicated that they self-
censored political opinion to avoid confrontation. Women are also more likely to configure their
SMS profiles in private mode than men; 14% (12) of women and 27.5% (22) of men indicated
that their profile was public; 32.9% (27) of women and 37.5% (30) of men answered that this
depended on their social media platform; 51.2% (42) of women and 32.5% (26) of men had them
on private. Women also showed to be more likely to be afraid that their opinions could make
them lose their jobs; 20.7% (17) of females and 11% (9) of males indicated that they feared that
their opinions could lead them to lose their job. This could serve for further research as job
To Share or Not to Share 25
inequality is present in every developed country, (Kleven, H., & Landais, C, 2017). The study
shows that women are more likely to feel fear to express their opinions. Findings also show that
47.7% (39) of women fear to receive negative comments on SMS. In contrast, 20% (16) of males
are afraid of negative criticism. This result also supports that males are more likely to express
themselves freely on SMS than women.
All of these findings suggest that women are more likely to self-censor on SMS than men. The
dominance of men has been prevalent through time. Numbers of people are trying to advocate
for gender equality, as Malala, a Pakistani girl, who fights for women’s education and gender
equality, (Brown, 2013). Eventhough there are people promoting equality, these findings show
that there is more freedom of expression among men. Further research on gender regarding SMS
is recommended to investigate the reasons why males express themselves freer than women.
Conclusion
The First Amendment of the United States is a law that provides people with the liberty
to express themselves, (2012, Rodman). Throughout the analysis of the results, it was frequently
encountered that most people think they expressed their ideas freely. However, they do self-
censor. Since there is not a face-to-face communication on SMS, between the performer and the
receiver, it becomes easier to present a desired image of the self. As Goffman (1959) argues,
people are constantly thinking how to present an image that they want to show to others. There
are behaviors, which are related to the personality of each person and the situation where they
have to perform. This is shown in the Individual Differences Theory, which explains that people
are affected in different ways depending on their characteristics, (2012, Rodman). Thus, the
amount that a source influences people’s freedom of speech varies. People tend to self-censor
thinking in the influence of their boss. Therefore, the self-presentation in the professional
environment could be less open to express their opinions. People could compare the risks and
rewards of sharing their opinions and descide to self-censor or express freely. For instance,
To Share or Not to Share 26
people put their jobs at risk for sharing opinions since their bosses have power over their
employment. This situation could lead them to an economic instability, which later could result
in a decrease in the satisfaction of their lives. Another type of influence in people’s lives are
relatives. Respondants were not likely to self-censor with the influence of their relatives. This
might occur due to the fact that family is not something that can be changed. Individuals are born
with a father and a mother they cannot biologically change. If a person has a different opinion
than one of their relatives, they will continue to be relatives. Therefore, the behavior of people
might not be the same with their relatives as with bosses. Other individuals who have an effect in
people’s lives are partners. This type of human relationship was not studied in this research
paper. However, the respondents tended to mention them as an influence with their self-
censorship. Thus, it is recommended for further research to study how much influence partners
have on people’s presentation and freedom of expression on SMS. The Milgram Effect also
supports these findings since authority makes people change their beliefs. The participation of
people in debates, especially regarding political opinion, showed a tendency of self-censorship to
avoid confrontation. Conerning the Spiral of Silence, self-censorship is likely to occur whenever
there is a dominant opinion, (1985, Noelle-Neumann). Whenever people self-censor their
opinions the spiraling effect occurs. This supports the results that show that people who self-
censor want to avoid confrontation.
The level of impact that each influence has on people’s self-censorship could be a topic
for further research. On SMS people engage in self-censorship because it is a constant exposure
of their identity to people who have influence in their lives. SMS becomes a platform that
provokes people to show different masks of themselves. As Goffman (1956) mentioned, when
people socialize they are involved in different situations where they present different masks.
Therefore, with the data presented and the theory of the self-presentation in everyday life, one
can support that SMS is medium to display these identities and self-censor.

Within the expectations of the paper there were flaws that could have been improved.
First, the number of participants did not reach the expected population. Second, the Pearson’s
Chi Square tests were not significant in many cases since they did not reach a trustworthy level
of confidence, which is around 0.5. Third and last, there were many questions presented in the
survey. This created complications to divide the information and understand the main usage of
each question. The questionnaire should have shown a greater linkage with the presented
questions for the research paper. Another flaw was that it was not only people from the United
States, but also form other countries. This variant could have had an impact with results as some
respondents do not have the freedom of expression of United States. Lastly, the research
questions were not very specific. They could have been planed with more cognition.

1. Purpose and objectives of the research : Give enough background information to
support the importance of the project, its expected contribution, and the hypothesis under
study.
The purpose of this study is to understand freedom of speech and how it affects the way
people use social media. I want to analyze the self-censorship of young adults (people
from 19 to 23 years old) on social media. This project is important to understand the
effects that social media is generating on society because they can bring consequences as
devaluating honesty, freedom of expression, perceptions of the world, etc. The First
Amendment of the United States of America is a right that has been fought for for a long
time. This is why it is important to know how comfortable people feel as they
communicate through social media. The research will contribute the understanding of
social media and human behavior studies. The hypothesis is the following: If people feel
pressure from other people or groups then they will self-censor themselves on social
media.
2. Participants: Include a discussion of the characteristics, number and any payment of
participants. Explain the participant selection process and how you will initially contact
potential participants. If you will be working with participants from another institution or
organization, attach documentation of that agency’s permission for you to do so and any
To Share or Not to Share 39
pertinent regulations from those agencies. If minor children are to take part in the
research, attach a parent information letter.
The participants will be adults, which have to be 19 or older as it is stated in Alabama
law. There will not be any type of payment and it will be voluntary. An email will be sent
to the students of Spring Hill College inviting them to answer the questionnaire. Besides
this, the questionnaire will be shared in unknown randomized Facebook groups. These
groups will be selected by a list of college schools and the link will be shared there. This
questionnaire does not need documentation of any agency and there will be no minors.
See the questionnaire with the informed consent preamble in Appendix A.
3. Method or Procedure: Describe the way in which data will be collected, including
where the study will take place, who will collect data, length of participation, what data
will be recorded and how. List and describe any apparatus that will be used. Attach
copies of any survey or interview questions to be used. If deception is used, provide a
rationale.
The answers of the questionnaire will be collected by the webpage called SurveyMonkey
Inc. This data will be analyzed using SPSS to make comparisons of the results. The
information shared in Survey Monkey is protected by a governmental organization called
Privacy Shield Framework. The data will look for behavior regarding freedom of
expression and social media. The participant will not have any anticipated physical,
financial, legal or political harm. The questionnaire might make them question their use
of social media. Besides, they might question if it is beneficial for them to use social
media or if they are providing correct information about themselves. There participants
To Share or Not to Share 40
will be able to answer some of the questions from pre-set answers and other answers will
be open-ended. The questions have the pre-set answer options next to them unless
otherwise mentioned. There is a consent preamble explaining the survey and informing
that it will be absolutely confidential and anonymous. The questionnaire is not
obligatory, the ones who take it will do so voluntarily. Participants can stop answering
before hitting “submit” if they so wish. See questionnaire in Appendix A.
4. Assessment of risk: Determine if participants are at more than minimal risk for physical,
psychological, social, financial, legal, or political harm. (This includes research
involving DECEPTION of participants). Describe procedures (such as informed consent)
that will be used to minimize potential risks to participants. If participants are at greater
than minimal risk, responses to Attachment 1 must be included in this application.
The survey will be anonymous and confidential. There is not a question that that is used
to identify a person. Their names will not be attached or linked in any way to the
questionnaire and webpage. The questionnaire does NOT put participants at more than
minimal risk.
5. Risk-benefit ratio: Research involving human participants can be approved only if expected
benefits outweigh potential risks. Describe possible benefits to the participants, a class of
participants, society in general, or the advancement of science. State your reasons for believing
that the benefits of the proposed study outweigh potential risks.
To Share or Not to Share 41
The benefit provided by the survey is for society. Social media is a modern platform to
communicate that influences millions of people. It is important to investigate the effects that this
platform generates. Society should know if it contributes to freedom of expression or if it
encourages self-censorship. The benefit for the participants is to participate in a survey that will
engage their critical thinking. The questionnaire will maintain minimal risk towards the
participants.
7. Confidentiality: Describe procedures to be used to maintain confidentiality including who
will have access to identifying information, where data will be stored, when data will be
destroyed, and in the event that findings are published or made public, how participants'
identities will be masked.
The participants’ opinions will be protected since they will answer the survey anonymously.
First of all, they will answer the questionnaire online; there will not be human interaction.
Secondly, there is no question that could identify them. This webpage is protected by a
governmental agency to secure the confidentiality of the survey.
The participants will enter SurveyMonkey.com with the link to the questionnaire. The questions
will be set one by one. When they finish, the participants will hit the submit button. I will be the
only person with access to the responses in the surveys. However, I will not be able to connect
the responses with the names of the respondents. The account in which I will create the
questionnaire is linked to my email: [email protected].
No one, besides me, can log into my email account to get the information. The data will be
trashed after the end of the semester.

INSTITUTIONAL REVIEW BOARD
Attachment 1: Additional Information Required for Full Review of Research Involving
More Than Minimal Risk to Participants
Please answer the following questions for all appropriate categories involved in your research.
Risk
For research in which the possibility of injury is greater than minimal:
1. Identify and describe in detail the possible risks, including physiological,
psychological, or social injury, to which participants may be exposed.
The person filling out the survey could feel uncomfortable sharing their opinions and
being completely honest.
2. Explain why you believe the risks to the participant are so outweighed by the
combined benefit to the participant or society at large and the importance of the
knowledge to be gained as to warrant a decision to allow the participant to accept
these risks. Discuss any alternative ways of conducting this research that would
present fewer risks to the participant, and explain why the method you have chosen is
superior.
To Share or Not to Share 43
The risks are outweighed due to the freedom of expression of the First Amendment of
the United Stated of America. Therefore, it would benefit society to know if people
do feel free. It is important to study social media since it is such a recent method of
communication. People have to be aware of the effects that freedom of expression has
on social media.
3. Explain fully how the rights and welfare of participants at risk will be protected (e.g.,
equipment closely monitored, medical exam given prior to procedures, psychological
screening of participants, etc.)
The participants’ opinion will be protected since they will answer an anonymous
survey. The server “SurveyMonkey” allows these types of surveys. They will answer
the questioner online and there is no question that could identify them, rather than
their academic level. They are voluntarily answering the survey and can stop at any
desired moment.
Equipment
For research in which the participants will be in contact with any mechanical, electronic,
electrical, or other equipment, which might put him/her at risk of accidental harm or injury,
should there be a mechanical failure in the equipment:
1. Identify and describe in detail the equipment to be utilized and the exact location.
Use manufacturer's name and serial numbers, and submit copies of manufacturer's
literature on the equipment when available.
To Share or Not to Share 44
As mentioned, the equipment used will be an online platform, “SurveyMonkey.Inc,”
which is protected by a governmental agency called Privacy Shield Framework. This
company protects the information provided in the platform.
2. Identify and describe in detail how the participant will interact with the equipment.
The participant will enter SurveyMonkey.com with the link to the questionnaire. The
question will be set one by one and then when finished, the participant will hit the
submit button.
3. Indicate the names and qualifications (with regard to the safe use of the equipment)
for all individuals authorized to use the equipment.
I will be the only person with access to the responses in the surveys. The account in
which I will create the questionnaire is linked to my email:
4. Indicate in detail specific steps that will be taken to assure the proper operation and
maintenance of the equipment.
No one can log into my email account to get the information. However, my password
in private and no one beside me has knowledge of it.

Psychological or Physiological Intervention
For research in which the participants will be exposed to any psychological intervention such
as deception, contrived social situations, manipulation of the participant's attitudes, opinion or
self-esteem, psychotherapeutic procedures, or other psychological influences, or in which the
participant(s) will be exposed to any physiological treatments or interventions upon the body by
mechanical, electronic, chemical, biological or any other means:
1. Identify and describe in detail the psychological intervention (or manipulation) and
the means used to administer the intervention.
There will be no manipulation of the information. The questions are direct and
require honest responses.
2. Identify and describe in detail the behavior expected of participant(s) and the
behavior of the investigator during the administration of the intervention.
The questionnaire might be liked by people because it might make them question
social media and freedom of speech according to them. The investigator will just be
waiting for the results since there will be no personal interaction. Some people might
feel concerned about their use on social media since it challenge their way of
thinking.
3. Describe how data resulting from this procedure will be gathered and recorded.
To Share or Not to Share 46
This data will be gathered in SPSS and the results will be compared with secondary
research about freedom of speech and social media in an essay of approximately
10,000.
4. Identify anticipated and possible psychological, physiological, or social consequences
of this procedure for the participant(s).
Psychologically, the participants might get another perspective of their use of social
media. Socially, they can evaluate if social media is positive or they feel intimidated
by it. Physiologically, they might realize that not every body in social media is real.
5. Indicate in detail specific steps that will be taken to assure the proper operation and
maintenance of the means used to administer the intervention. For all equipment
used, the questions regarding equipment above must be answered.
I will not give anyone to have my password and as soon as I have the results of the
surveys I will eliminate them from Survey Monkey.
6. For research involving DECEPTION, explain in detail why deception is necessary to
accomplish the goals of the research. Care should be taken to distinguish cases in which
disclosure would invalidate the research from cases in which disclosure would simply
inconvenience the investigator.
6. For research involving psychological intervention, describe in detail the plan for
debriefing participants.
It will be online. There will be no human contact.
To Share or Not to Share 47
7. Indicate the investigator's competence and identify her/his qualifications, by training
and experience, to conduct this procedure. Give name, title, academic affiliation and
program, address, and telephone number of the individual(s) who will supervise this
procedure.
8. I am Maria Hastings. Through my preparation in Spring Hill College as a
Communication Arts major I have gained enough experience to succeed with this
project. I did several projects that included a Feature Story of Alan Tompson, which
was named the best in my class; I did several interviews in Italy where I dealt with
language barrier as well. Since I was born in Mexico, I speak fluent Spanish. This
gives me the advantage to communicate with Hispanic people. I have taken two
courses in EduMac, which gave me a photography and a graphic design certification.
Furthermore, I have always been disciplined and tenacious, which will help me
achieve this project.
