Deborah Klink (s1811150), Bachelor thesis 17 reviewing social media has been researched mainly with a focus on negative emotions which are elicited while reviewing one’s own social media profile (Y. Wang et al., 2011; Zhao et al., 2013). Nonetheless, this study showed that social media can also have a positive influence on emotions, a finding that is supported by the experiences reported by Thomas and Briggs (2016b). In the study, participants created a book based on their Facebook profile, using the same website (MySocialBook.com) and were asked to reminiscence about it. Most of the participants enjoyed the process of reviewing their social media profile (Thomas & Briggs, 2016b). Additionally, the fact that the participants in this study collected at least 68 posts on their social media sites might be seen an advantage since it indicates that all of them are rather active on Facebook or Instagram. Due to the fact that participants in this study had a certain amount of posts to reflect and reminiscence on, compared to people who only reminiscence based on ten or fifteen post in a similar time span, the results might be more convincing. However, the time span was not limited in this study, and, consequently, a better comparability could have been achieved by setting a limited timeframe for the posts, for instance limiting it to five years, or by asking participants about the number of posts in the last year, to be better able to assess the participant’s activity on social media. A further limitation is, that there exists a selection bias in the recruitment of participants, due to the large amount of posts (at least 68) that were needed to cumulate a book on the website. This might mean that the people in this sample might differ to the general population in the amount of posts they have collected on social media sites, such as Facebook or Instagram. Several studies have found a moderate relationship between personality and the frequency of social media use (Correa, Hinsley, & de Zúñiga, 2010; Gil de Zúñiga, Diehl, Huber, & Liu, 2017; Hughes, Rowe, Batey, & Lee, 2012). In a study including over 21,000 participants from 20 countries, Gil de Zúñiga et al. (2017) found that conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and openness were positively related with the frequency of social media use, while emotional stability was negatively associated with it. Therefore, the people who post frequently might differ in their personality from those who post less. As a consequence, one might argue that their emotional reaction to reviewing an automated autobiography, as well as the extent to which they identify with their automatically generated autobiography might differ too. Future research could further investigate to what extent the findings in this study regarding the change in emotions and the extent of identification with an automatically generated autobiography could also be applied to people who have fewer posts on social media.PDF Image | Facebook and Instagram emotions identification automatically generated autobiography
