4.Selfies (自拍) are increasingly popular on social media.Selfie accessories (配件) such as selfie sticks are now as common as selfie cameras on phones,and the word"selfie"was even added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2013.
While selfies are extremely common,opinions on selfies can vary significantly,with some seeing them as creative and a way to connect with other people and others seeing them as narcissistic (自戀的),self-promotional and inauthentic.
In a recent study published in Frontiers in Psychology,Sarah Diefenbach,a professor at Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich,conducted an online survey to assess people's motivation and judgments when taking and viewing selfies.
A total of 238 people living in Austria,Germany and Switzerland completed the survey.
Interestingly,despite 77% of the participants taking selfies regularly,more than 60% agreed on the potential negative (消極的) consequences of selfies,such as influences on self-respect.And 82% of participants indicated that they would rather see other types of photos instead of selfies on social media.This phenomenon,where many people regularly take selfies but most people don't appear to like them,has been termed the"selfie paradox"by Diefenbach.
The participants owed greater self-promotional motivation and less authenticity to selfies taken by others,compared with those taken by themselves."This may explain how everybody can take selfies without feeling narcissistic.If most people think like this,then it is no wonder that the world is full of selfies,"Diefenbach explains.
