A content analysis of teen-favored celebrities' posts on social networking sites: Implications for parasocial relationships and fame-valuation

Abstract: The aspiration of young people for fame – a wide public recognition – has risen in recent years. This fame-valuation is a concern for scholars, educators, and parents as it has been linked with teen self-focused aspirations, narcissism, and materialism. This rise in the value of fame has been linked to two trends: teens' increased attraction to celebrities and their use of social networking sites (SNSs). SNSs have changed the landscape of celebrity media presence compared to traditional media and enable a shif… Show more

“…Research on uses and gratifications suggests that people use entertainment TV and social media for amusement, to pass time, for social interaction, and to relax (Brown et al, 2012;Whiting & Williams, 2013). Despite their reason, adolescents still may "unintentionally" receive messages about careers, as they are prevalent in entertainment TV and social media (Eyal et al, 2020;Warren et al, 2016).…”

“…For example, production companies embed these messages within story lines for entertainment TV. On social media, careerrelated messages come from actors that adolescents follow, such as celebrities (Eyal et al, 2020;Vandendriessche et al, 2021), and unfamous people (Hardof-Jaffe et al, 2020), like older studying/working peers or relatives who are part of the adolescent's social mdia network. Research on Internet as a VAS source (Levine & Aley, 2020) has not explored the ways peers communicate career-related information online, although the literature highlighted the need for this research.…”

“…Social media users' perception of self-disclosure by celebrities was also found to be positively associated with a sense of friendship with these celebrities (Kim & Kim, 2020). Moreover, Eyal et al (2020) found that the lack of selfdisclosure by media personalities on social media might hinder the development of PSR, as it may be associated with a lower impression of authenticity. Two types of self-disclosure can be distinguished: factual and evaluative (Reis & Shaver, 1988).…”

“…When individuals are selfdisclosing, their language is composed of facts about themselves or their own opinions or emotions. Recent studies have explored the association between selfdisclosure and PSR with media figures on social media (Chung & Cho, 2017;Eyal et al 2020;Kim & Kim, 2020;Kim & Song, 2016;Ledbetter & Redd, 2016). Some studies have found that perceived self-disclosure by celebrities on social media enhances PSR with them through a feeling of social presence (Kim & Song, 2016).…”

“…Skopofil olduğu ve kişisel değerini profil maddi değeri ile ölçtüğü iddia edilen "ben nesli"nin (generation me) kendini imgelediği değerler "ilgi çekmek", "ün", "hedonizm", "kendini beğenmişlik" ve "imaj" olarak ortaya konsa da (Rosen, 2016); SM kullanıcıların kendilerine sosyal özellikler (kişilik, zekâ) ve fiziksel özellikleri (ağırlık, boy, vücut imajı) bakımından daha çok takipçileri olması bakımından ünlüler ya da (Eyal, Te'eni-Harari, & Katz, 2020) modellerden ziyade, kendilerine sosyo-kültürel açıdan benzer akranlarıyla karşılaştırdıkları ve hatta onları sosyal ağlarına dahil etmeye çalıştıkları iddia edilmiş (Kleemans vd., 2018); çevrimiçi medya formlarında güzellik algıları ile ilgili davranışları inceleyen yayınlarda öne çıkan davranışlar olarak; birden fazla özçekim yapılması, yalnızca gurur verici fotoğrafların yayınlaması, kişinin yüzünün ve bedeninin görünümünü geliştirmek için kamera filtreleri kullanması, daha ince göründüğü fotoğrafları seçmesi ya da ince görünen vücut kısımlarının sunulması sayılmıştır (Mills, Shannon, & Hogue, 2017) (Bulut, 2020). Kim, üniversite öğrencilerinde yaptığı özçekim paylaşımıyla ilgili çalışmada başkalarının özçekimlerine bakmanın beden memnuniyetini azalttığı, özçekim paylaşmanın temelinde yatan motivasyonun aslen eksik olan benlik saygısını arttırmaya ve geçerlemeye yönelik olduğunu ortaya koymuştur (Kim, 2020).…”
