In the context of pervasive digital connectivity, Davis investigates how people navigate the negotiation of self and identity across online and offline environments. Based on interviews and synchronous text exchanges from a Facebook‑based sample, she outlines three key interaction conditions that influence how individuals present themselves: fluidity between digital and physical worlds, expectations of accuracy, and overlapping social networks. She introduces the concept of self‑triangulation, a process whereby individuals strive to present a coherent sense of self across multiple arenas and media. Davis differentiates between networked logic and preemptive action as distinct forms of triangulation used to reconcile tensions between ideal and authentic identity claims in a connected era.
