In recent years, the rapid development of the micro-blog, is shaping a whole new field of daily life. People’s self-presentation and interaction mode is also undergoing profound changes. Sociology proposed the dramaturgical theory framework for the interaction of individuals and groups in the daily life of an empiricist perspective. According to the theoretical framework, the micro-blog blogger is the performer in social interaction. They rely on the micro-blog media (foreground) for self-expression, using different ways to manage their impression in the eyes of their own micro blog subscribers (the audience). So, through the quasi drama theory, what kind of stage performances does the micro blog show people? On this stage, what is people’s self-presentation and interaction? What influence does this stage make on people’s presentation? By the investigation of the act of self-presentation, about people on the micro-blog network the Field, this aiticle uses a combination of qualitative research and quantitative research methods, and tries to tease out the answers to these questions.First of all, through the extension of several important concepts in Dramatic Theory, tthis article analyzes this unique theater-micro blog. On this stage, social norms and self-expectations performs screenplay. The publishers and subscribers of mcro-blog become the actor and the audience, while micro blog administrator acts as the director of this theater. All this preliminary renders the drama performances of micro-blog.Then, in order to further understand the self-presentation and interactive way in the micro-blog, this article made a questionnaire survey of college student microblogging users from ten Nanjing universities,to explore the group identity and interactive mode of self-presentation. The following is the research conclusions:The college students often appear in the micro-blog theater as the audience. Their expression of the "nonmask" become the main way of their self-expression. More interaction happened with acquaintances. The microblogging social interaction is an extension of the real social interaction. In their impression management,more obvious gender differences, presented. And at the same time, there is a certain degree of ambivalence about them in the pursuit of attention and social interaction.About the effect on the theater of the micro-blog, micro-blog drama phenomenon have made various effects on users. In the micro-blog, college students use "audience isolation" to express the true self,. Through interaction with other friends, they deepened interpersonal elationship. And they carried out the impression management to seek self-identity. As a unique theater, micro blog meets the performance needs of users with a variety of features., while the actor’s desire for self-expression also promote microblogging users. Audience interaction and support is a powerful driving force of microblogging users to perform. Finally, I reflect on the dramaturgical phenomenon of micro-blog. People deepen interaction with friends, stable interpersonal relationshipsthrough micro-blog in the self-presentation, also realized their seeking self-identity. But obsession experience in the micro-blog inevitably causes negative effects on users, and we will eventually return to reality, to achieve true self-presentation.
