Just For Fun? Constructing Self Through Selfies
This research examines the interrelationship between self-construction and the culture of Selfie. We show that through Selfies, consumers construct an ideal self, extended self, authentic self, and reaffirm sense of self. Selfies are a new form of self-identification and expression that reflects the growing democratization of self-construction in social media.
