Fear of Missing Out: Is Voyeurism the Real Motive Behind Teen Consumption of Social Media?
This paper examines the role of voyeurism in motivating everyday teen use of social network sites (SNS). We explore the benefits that teens derive from these voyeuristic practices and to what extent they re-enact “learned” behaviours of exhibitionism and voyeurism from Reality TV in SNSs.
