There is a Time magazine blog entry at the link below titled, The psychology of Facebook profiles.
The report says Facebook allows members to create whatever public persona they would like with personal data and profile photos.
One would think members would write flattering information about themselves and use attractive photos and “editing down their thoughts to the most clever and pithy before posting them in a status update, carefully choosing favorite books and movies to portray a certain sophistication.”
Not so, say researchers from the University of Texas at Austin.
Instead of using Facebook to create rose-tinted portraits of themselves, more often people's Facebook profiles reflect their authentic personalities, with all of the quirks, funny faces and moodiness they entail.
What it basically boils down to is: most people will be themselves. Nice people will portray that on Facebook. If they’re a jerk in real life, they'll be one on Facebook too.
