Deborah Klink (s1811150), Bachelor thesis 18 Additionally, the two conditions (Facebook and Instagram) were not equal. Specifically, females were overrepresented in both groups, with 75% of all participants being female. This might suggest that there exists a gender difference in the use of social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram. In line with this, Mendelson and Papacharissi (2010) found in a sample of US-students, that females post more frequently on Facebook than males. Moreover, the study design could have been improved by combining the quantitative research method with a qualitative design. More specifically, the questionnaires could have been supplemented with interviews from the participants about their emotions and identification with their autobiography. By including interviews, it would have been possible to find out about specific emotions that were sparked while reviewing the automatically generated autobiography in general, possibly adding specific emotions that were not included in the PANAS. Furthermore, participants could have elaborated on specific posts and moments which elicited specific emotions. In this way, the specific content which elicits positive or negative emotions might be determined. A similar design was employed by Thomas and Briggs (2016b), who reviewed an automatically generated autobiography together with participants and assessed their responses to evaluate the reminiscent value of social media, for example, for reminiscence therapy. Additionally, by including interviews it might have been easier to determine to what extent participants identify with their autobiography and whether they identify with some post more than with others. Therefore, more differentiation would have been possible. Another way of improving the study design might be by including a control condition, which would help as another manipulation check to assess to what extent the act of reminiscing based on social media and the traditional way to reminiscence differ. Zhao and E. Lindley (2014) showed that social media sites are usually not overtly viewed as archives for reminiscence. However, they can complement traditional file storages, such as mobile phones or photo albums as the content on social media is more selective (Zhao & Lindley, 2014). To conclude, adding a control condition could have shed more light into the difference between traditional reminiscence and reminiscence based on social media. Lastly, it should be noted that the reliability was insufficient for the post-test of the Positive-Affect Scale of the PANAS. The measure of .548 indicates poor internal reliability (George & Mallery, 1999). Consequently, the results should be interpreted with caution. Practical implications The present study shed some light on the reminiscent value of social media. Reminiscence is important at all ages, as it supports people in giving meaning to their life (Thomas & Briggs, 2016b). Furthermore, reminiscence can be used in therapy to help a personPDF Image | Facebook and Instagram emotions identification automatically generated autobiography
