Abstract
Background and Aim: The adolescence period is one of the most important stages in the life of each individual, and the basic component of this period is identity. So far, there have been different views about this period of life. One of these is the psychosocial theory of Ericsson, which defined the crisis as "identity against the confusion of the role". In addition, other people like Marcia and Berzonsky have referred to identity and identity processing styles. Story books are tools for gaining knowledge and identity in adolescents. The purpose of this study is to examine the status of adolescence stories in terms of dimensions and identity components.
Methods: The present research is applied in terms of purpose. The method of this research is descriptive. Also, content analysis approach has been used to collect research data. The research population includes all the fiction books of the age groups D and E, which were published by the Children's and Young Children's Intellectual Development Center in the years 1390-94, which totally cover 180 story titles. .
Results: Findings show that the focus of the stories is on individual identity, family identity, group identity, and national identity. Other types of identity differ in compilation and translation stories. In general, the main characters of the stories (compilation and translation) are confused. After that, the status of the identity of the person is too late and the status of the identity is successful. The fast-paced situation also includes the least percentage of stories. Also, most of the story's main characters used the information processing style. The other dominant style of information processing by the main characters of the stories is a confused style and the least amount is devoted to the normative style. T
Conclusion: In general, according to the findings of the present research, it is completely clear that in the fiction books examined, different types of identity are not taken into account in the same way. It is certain that little and very little attention is given to other identities, negative effects and serious and irreparable damage to the formation and identity of adolescents. Also, in assessing the status of the identity of the main characters of teenage stories, the findings showed that the abundance of these characters in the field of identification is different. In the study of identity processing styles, the same characters were not found in the main characters of the stories studied.

Abstract
In today’s hyper-connected world, personal reputation has become an essential currency in digital interactions, particularly within social networks. This research seeks to establish a comprehensive conceptual framework for personal reputation management, spotlighting the crucial need to comprehend how individuals successfully navigate and curate their reputations in an increasingly intricate digital landscape. Social media platforms, transcending their traditional roles as mere communication tools, have transformed into significant arenas for identity construction, negotiation, and maintenance. As individuals engage in these digital platforms, the management of personal reputation emerges as both a strategic endeavor and a reflective practice that mirrors the complexities of real-world interactions. The guiding inquiry of this study delves into the methods by which social network users actively manage their online personal reputations through the strategic use of online information. Furthermore, this research probes the intriguing question of whether social media users exhibit citation behaviors akin to those of academic researchers when engaged in reputation management.
Methods and Materoal
To investigate the dynamics of personal reputation management within digital contexts, a multi-stage qualitative research design was adopted. The research involved primary data collection methods, notably daily journal entries and semi-structured interviews with a diverse group of thirty professionals and managers hailing from various industries. The selection of participants was intentional, focusing on individuals who demonstrated significant engagement with prominent social media platforms such as LinkedIn, Instagram, and Twitter. This approach facilitated an in-depth examination of how distinct digital environments shape the strategies employed in reputation management.
The data collected underwent thematic analysis, which pinpointed six overarching themes along with nineteen sub-themes, categorized under two principal dimensions: “Identity Creation” and “Reputation Management.” This structured analytical framework provided a nuanced comprehension of participants’ perceptions regarding their online identities. It also illuminated the various strategies utilized in sustaining and enhancing their reputations across digital platforms. Through meticulous analysis, the research aimed to understand the interplay between identity formation and reputation management, shedding light on how individuals curate their online presence with intention and awareness.
Resultss and Discussion
The findings from this research unveil compelling insights into how users construct their online identities, revealing a nuanced approach where individuals present differing facets of their authentic selves rather than fabricating entirely new personas. Reported behaviors reflected a deliberate variation in information-sharing strategies across different social media platforms. For instance, LinkedIn emerged as the primary platform for professional interactions, whereas Twitter served as a space for personal discourse. In contrast, Instagram was viewed as a hybrid environment where users skillfully blended personal narratives with professional achievements.
A significant theme that surfaced during the analysis was the importance of communication management and information censorship, pivotal elements for effective reputation protection. Participants actively engaged in what can be termed “border management,” intentionally segregating personal and professional realms to mitigate conflicts and maintain a positive, coherent online image. This strategic separation underscores how perception management is intricately linked to individuals’ overarching reputational goals.
Interestingly, the study highlighted behavioral parallels to academic citation practices. Users bolstered their connections and credibility through various actions such as liking, reposting, and tagging—actions that resonate with how researchers cite academic work to fortify their scholarly networks. A notable observation was the tendency among participants to seek alignment with influential figures, not dissimilar to the methodical referencing found within academic literature. This alignment serves to enhance perceived credibility and fosters a sense of belonging within a broader digital community.
Moreover, users employed various self-promotion strategies by sharing achievements, milestones, and strategically curated content aimed at cultivating an appealing online presence. These practices inadvertently mirrored academic reputational building methods, revealing that individuals often adopt scholarly behaviors in their quest for personal reputation management, albeit subconsciously. Such insights suggest that the line between professional and personal reputation management is increasingly blurred in digital environments.
Conclusion
This research significantly illuminates the intricate relationship between online behavior and personal reputation management. The convergence of information-sharing behaviors with citation-like practices within social networks suggests that users may be more influenced by academic conventions than they consciously recognize. The citation-mimicking actions, though often unintentional, play a crucial role in shaping how credibility and reputation are perceived in digital interactions.
Contributing valuable insights into the interplay between online information and reputation management, this study offers a robust framework for future research in both information science and behavioral studies. The findings underscore the necessity for a nuanced understanding of digital reputation strategies and provide essential guidance for individuals and organizations seeking to enhance their online presence. Future research endeavors can delve deeper into demographic-specific approaches to reputation management, allowing for the development of tailored strategies that cater to diverse audiences. As social media continues to evolve, understanding the dynamics of personal reputation management will remain pivotal in navigating the complexities of digital identities.
