Abstract

Personal narratives constitute one of the most fundamental means of making sense of one’s experiences. In the digital age, documenting life online has emerged as a new form of personal narrative. However, what contributes to documenting life online and its implications has remained unaddressed. With self-reported scales (Studies 1–2) and the behavioral indicator from social media (i.e., posts on Weibo, a Twitter-like online platform in China; Study 2), we examined the relationship between documenting life online and nostalgia, as well as implications for global self-continuity (i.e., a sense of connectedness among past, present, and future selves) and psychological well-being. We found nostalgia was positively associated with self-reported (Study 1) and behavioral (Study 2) documenting life online. Meanwhile, we also found a sequential mediation model: nostalgia was positively associated with documenting life online. Further, this act of online documentation is sequentially linked to positive impacts on global self-continuity and psychological well-being (Studies 1–2). Theoretical and practical implications were discussed.

We reported the results of exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis on the measure of documenting life online in the Supplementary Materials. Additionally, we solicited information about participants' experiences in documenting their lives online. These results have also been included in the Supplementary Materials.

In the data file, we presented the raw numbers of coded posts.

In Study 2, we further indexed past documenting life online (using the natural logarithm of coded post counts in the preceding 12 months) and future documenting life online (using the natural logarithm of coded post counts in the upcoming three months) to retest the hypotheses. The results consistently supported the hypotheses. We reported the results in the supplemental materials.
