Studies shown, that taking a self-portrait
or now known as selfie is a self-obsession. But Dr. Pamela Rutledge, Director
of the Media Psychology Research Center, pointed out in her column at Psychology Today that “in spite of the wealth
of negative headlines, there are several reasons for selfies that have nothing
to do with narcissism.”
“Selfies offer the
opportunities to show facets of yourself, such as the artsy side, the silly
side, or the glamorous side,” Rutledge said.
In today’s generation having a smartphone
and a mobile app like snapchat, Instagram and even facebook makes the selfie
popular, not just for the young but also to those who love to take photo.
Instagram has over 260M #selfies photo today. An average millennial
spends more than an hour/week to snap selfies and may take up to around 25,700
selfies during their lifetime, a 2015 study by Frames Direct and Now Sourcing, showed.
Selfie is about continuously rewriting
yourself. It's an extension of our natural construction of self. It's about
presenting yourself in the best way … like when women put on makeup or men who
bodybuild to look a certain way" – Dr. Mariann Hardey.
Most of the self-portrait photo came from the Philippines, particular in
Makati City as dubbed by Time Magazine as the “Selfie capital of the world”.
OPPO Philippines recently
conducted an online survey among 6,000 Filipinos and found that 48% of Filipino
