Abstract

V originále

Presented paper focuses on adolescent weblogs with emphasis on the frequency of lying. 120 experienced adolescent bloggers were contacted to fill an online questionnaire. 12 respondents were also contacted in face-to-face meetings and the presented data was verified. The results show a very low frequency of lying in weblogs. A higher tendency to lying was found in younger adolescents. Overall, respondents lied least often about age, gender and school related information, while lying most often about partnership and their family situation. Such weblogs seem to create a space for communication between a person and a few other individuals (schoolmates) and support thoughts that experienced users of certain applications on the Internet tend to use an identity corresponding with their real one.
