Social network plays an important role in people’s social life, which is not only a new medium for interpersonal communication, but also a new platform for self-presentation. As representatives of the advanced popular culture, undergraduates are the active power of social network. Besides, their status and strategies presented in social network reflect their learning and living conditions. Undergraduates are experiencing a special developing period, in which they are in urgent need of their physical, mental and learning comprehensive mature. In such a critical stage, colleges and families are responsible for offering fully understand and correctly guide to undergraduates. In consequence, concentrating on the self-presentation strategies of undergraduates is undoubtedly an advantages way to understand their physical and mental development, which can also provide them further management and guidance. In the process of exploring the influencing factors and mechanism of self-presentation strategies in the social network, we have found that the level of self-acceptance is an important inner indicator reflecting mental health. Moreover, father’s rearing style, as another factor, has a profound impact on children’s physical and mental development, it is the root of children’s personality construction and behaviors. On the basis of summarizing the previous studies, this thesis analyzed the correlation and mechanism of father’s rearing style, self-acceptance and self-presentation strategies in social network among undergraduates.The research adopted EMBU(Father’s Rearing Style Questionnaire), Self-acceptance Questionnaire and Social Network Self-presentation Strategy Scale(CN) to investigate 769 undergraduates from three universities in Hebei Province.

Furthermore, the researcher analyzed the relationship among the three factors, and refutes the traditional concepts such as "son preference" according to the results. The findings are as follows:1.
