Shame is an emotional experience that occurs when you fail to live up to the expectations of others and are left with a negative self-image that makes you appear inferior or weak in the eyes of others. Shame doesn’t just occur when we perform an action in front of others, but can also occur when someone in our group acts in a way that makes us look bad. Shame can arise from individual or collective actions.

We all construct identities according to situations. Our study examines identity construction in liminal contexts, taking the case of daily press journalists on Twitter. It shows that journalists play with their identities, creating a personality at the intersection of their professional and personal identities. Thus, identity construction in a liminal context can be enjoyable as long as it is voluntary and autonomous.
