Abstract in brief
People tend to choose profile images that create positive social impressions, but they often select images for themselves that are less effective than those chosen by others.
People generally believe they are good at selecting their own best profile pictures, but the study found they tend to make suboptimal choices due to their self-perception.
The findings highlight that the images people pick for their profiles influence first impressions significantly, and the choices they make themselves are not always the most favorable for social outcomes.]
