“…As a personal type of picture, selfie becomes a way for someone to communicate with others, sharing about one's whereabouts (Saltz, 2014). Oxford Dictionaries defined selfie as a photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically one taken with a smartphone or webcam or any digital camera, and shared via social media (Ozansoy Çadırcı & Sağkaya Güngör, 2016). With that definition, the selfie is not just a photo that is taken in an arm-length distance but also includes any casual picture of one that is taken with a digital camera (Wright, 2013).…”

This research aims to find the correlation between narcissism and selfie-posting behavior on Instagram among Millennials. Millennials, those who were born between 1982 and 2004, known to be more selfish and low in empathy compared to the previous generation (Firestone, 2015) and they post their selfies more often (Pew Research Center, 2014). The narcissism variable is measured using Narcissism Personality Inventory 13 from Gentile et al. (2013) which has been translated into Indonesian language, meanwhile the selfie-posting behavior is measured using selfie-posting frequency in a month and Motivations for Posting Selfies on SNSs Scale (MPSS) from Sung et al. (2016) which also has been translated into Indonesian language. This research is being conducted to 443 young people aged between 16-24 who are active Instagram users in Indonesia. Based on the correlation test, there is a significant correlation between narcissism and selfie-posting behavior (r=.187-.721), in which the higher one's score is in narcissism, the more selfies one takes.

“…Social media provides a place for its users to seek acknowledgment and validation from others (Bazarova & Choi, 2014). Those who are high in narcissism do not post their selfies for archiving, but for other people to see and to gain affirmation and validation from people who see that post (Ozansoy Çadırcı & Sağkaya Güngör, 2016).…”

“…Regarding social media ability in providing users with self-presentation tools, several pieces of research has explained it by using Irving Goffman's impression management works on online platforms (Hogan, 2010;Mendelson and Papacharissi, 2010;Çadırcı and Güngör, 2019;Kang and Wei, 2020). The general assumption of impression management is that individuals would employ the selective disclosure of personal details designed to present an idealized self.…”

Bringing the brand promise 'brings you closer to the people and things you love'. Instagram allows users to have the feeling of being connected to the world. In general, people use their Instagram account as a tool to show what is happening with their life. They consciously decide and choose information about their lives to be shared with significant other (Instagram's friends). In doing so, they create self-presentation that leads to the creation of a self-made identity. Instagram itself is filled with users' positive self-presentation. However, the trend nowadays, users have more than one Instagram account. Not only do they present themselves in a positive light or self-idealisation, but at the same time, they also share their self-actualisation. By self-actualisation, it means to express not only their flattering side but also the 'other' side of one's life. According to this research results, it can be defined as ones' unattractiveness, humiliating moments, and embarrassing sides, ranging from facial imperfections, depression, and struggles. This research itself used a complementary combination of content analysis, in-depth interviews, and observation participatory. By posing the research question regarding how Instagram users use their Instagram account to fix their daily life experience and its extent to their Catharsis. This research gives an insight into the limitation and the boundaries of how social media entangles with an individual's identity. While many studies on Instagram available discus the way Instagram activities work as the representation of individual's identity, they do not consider Instagram itself as the simulacra and how it changes the way we live our everyday life.

“…Social media users generally want to portray their "best selves" on social media. To do this, they engage in selective self-presentation, by only posting certain photos (Çadırcı & Güngör, 2016;Enli & Thumim, 2012), and by using filters and engaging in selfie-editing (Chua & Chang, 2016). Thus, images that users post of their face on social media end up being more attractive than their faces would appear in everyday life (Lobinger & Brantner, 2015;Roman, 2014).…”

<p>Exposure to a face triggers a series of judgments about the person to which the face belongs. Some of the most widely studied judgments humans make from faces are evaluative judgments of facial attractiveness. These judgments are made frequently, automatically, and have important implications for judgments of other important social characteristics like trustworthiness and personality. A relatively understudied set of facial attractiveness judgments that are made from faces are comparative judgments, or social comparisons, of facial attractiveness. Based on social comparison theory, and what is known about evaluative judgments of facial attractiveness, it is likely that social comparisons of facial attractiveness are also frequent and have important implications. Despite this, little is known about social comparisons of facial attractiveness. To address this gap in the literature, three multi-method studies were conducted in this dissertation. The first was a systematic review to synthesize the existing research that directly or indirectly addressed social comparisons of facial attractiveness. Studies Two and Three empirically investigated whether or not social comparisons of facial attractiveness have features of automaticity. Study Two used a think aloud methodology to investigate the mandatory nature of social comparisons of facial attractiveness, whereas Study Three experimentally investigated how quickly social comparisons of facial attractiveness can be made. Together, these studies revealed more about how social comparisons of facial attractiveness occur and have theoretical implications for future research on the automaticity of mental processes more broadly.</p>
