On Episode 61 we are joined by Dr. Chris Barry, Professor of Psychology at Washington State University, to chat about how adolescent’s self-perceptions impact their social media use. Chris shares how selfies and “posies” are related to an individual’s self-esteem and narcissism, and what that means for how they interact with social media. We talk about his work on the fear of missing out and how social media contributes to it in the digital age. What is a “posie”? How do others perceive your selfies and what can you do to make others like your pictures more? Can restricting social media access help individuals feel better about its use? All this and much more in Selfies and Posies with Dr. Chris Barry!
