What does science say about selfie addiction?

If you see someone posing for a selfie, you might assume that person is narcissistic or vain. But a new study shows that this is not so is always the case.

Researchers indicate that selfies they can be helpful in capturing the deeper meaning of moments.

The research team claims that when we use personal photography, painting a scene from our own perspective, it is because we want to document a physical experience.

“Although they sometimes joke about imaging practices in popular culture, personal photographs have the potential to help people reconnect with their past experiences and construct their own narratives,” said Zachary Niese, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Tubingen in Germany.

As part of the study, experts conducted six experiments with 2113 participants.

In one of them, participants were asked to visualize a scenario in which they would like to take a photo, such as a day at the beach with a close friend, and rate the importance and importance of the experience.

The researchers said that the more participants rated the significance of the event, the more likely they were to comment that they would photograph themselves.

In the second experiment, participants examined photographs that posted on their Instagram accounts.

The results showed that if the photo showed the participant in the shot, they were more likely to say that the photo made them think about the larger meaning of the moment.

“This work suggests that people also have very personal reasons for taking photographs,” they added.
