Clicktivism Or Slacktivism? Impression Management and Moral Licensing.
Social network sites provide the opportunity to engage in “clicktivism”, i.e., expressing one’s support to programs of social change symbolically. We build on previous work in moral dynamics and suggest that clicktivism can reduce levels of “real” prosocial behavior. We propose that impression management concern explains the effect.
