It has also reduced in-person interaction, replacing it with digital communication including Video and text. We use personality theory to compare self-presentation on these media versus in-person communication. We use surveys and interviews to examine media self-presentation before and during COVID, as well as between different groups of students and office workers. Pre-COVID students presented themselves as more Extraverted, more Agreeable, less Open, and less Neurotic on Video. On Texting they are less Open and Neurotic. During WFH, students are more Agreeable and less Neurotic on Video while still less Neurotic on Texting. The office worker WFH sample is more Agreeable and less Neurotic on Video. We discuss practical and theoretical implications of results, and future research directions.<\/p>\n<h3>Keywords<\/h3>\n<p>personality, self-presentation, Video, Texting, media theory, affordances, COVID, students, office workers<\/p>\n<div class=\"yt-consent-placeholder\" role=\"region\" aria-label=\"Video playback requires cookie consent\" data-video-id=\"7r4Dl3OokNU\" data-poster=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/7r4Dl3OokNU\/maxresdefault.jpg\"><iframe aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" title=\"Cats, Kids, and Video Calls\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/7r4Dl3OokNU?feature=oembed&rel=0&enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"yt-consent-placeholder__overlay\"><button class=\"yt-consent-placeholder__play\"><svg width=\"42\" height=\"42\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><g fill=\"none\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\"><circle fill=\"#000\" opacity=\".556\" cx=\"21\" cy=\"21\" r=\"21\"\/><path stroke=\"#FFF\" d=\"M27.5 22l-12 8.5v-17z\"\/><\/g><\/svg><span class=\"yt-consent-placeholder__label\">Video playback requires cookie consent<\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>ABOUT THE AUTHOR\/S<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Lee Taber<\/strong><br \/>\nUniversity of California, Santa Cruz<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:ltaber@ucsc.edu\">ltaber@ucsc.edu<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>I&#8217;m a graduate student at UCSC, interested in how people communicate using technology and how those communications affect us.
