This dissertation investigates how audience considerations inform the text-based identity construction of writers composing in digital environments. The project begins from the standpoint that writers make choices about how to construct their identity through discourse in online locations, and these choices are often driven by impression management concerns. Impression management (Goffman, 1959) is goal-directed behavior, occurring at either unconscious or conscious levels, and intended to control and persuade others to adopt a certain impression of the individual doing the controlling. Little to no prior research has investigated how writers engage in rhetorical invention for the purposes of constructing a discoursal identity (Ivanic, 1994) online. The two studies consider relatively unexamined digital sites, whereas prior research deals mainly with socially-driven networking sites. The data for the first qualitative study was open-ended surveys of writers regarding their dating site profile composition. Writers engaged in multiple digital invention strategies, including self-assessment, task-assessment, planning and composing text, and assessing interaction. The findings demonstrate the significant role of audience across the rhetorical invention strategies used by these writers. The second study drew from think-aloud protocols, retrospective interviews, and rhetorical analysis of documents, and employed an inductive, grounded style of analysis to investigate writing for LinkedIn, a professional networking site. This analytic approach incorporated theoretical sampling, constant comparison on multiple levels (i.e. between codes and categories), and a carefully articulated coding paradigm based directly on the data itself (Strauss, 1987). The core category, Digital Invention Strategies, contained several rich dimensions, including: assessing task, self-assessment, professional goals, planning text, assessing text, and assessing interaction. On the basis of the two studies, the dissertation introduces the concept of audience constituted. A model of digital invention processes and practices is presented, as well as a heuristic designed to aid digital writers in systematically considering audience and impression management during digital composing.
