Chapter 2. Photo Publication Behavior of Adolescents on Facebook

The Importance Of Emotions And Personal Characteristics On Adolescents’ Risky Photo-Disclosure Online

“…For example, according to the results of the study by Stevens and colleagues (2016), around 25-33% of adolescents' post or share provocative or sexual images. Contrary to these results, Dorsch and Ilhan (2016) state that adolescents aren't likely to share sexual photos online at all.…”

“…Similarly, to this, Sherman and colleagues (2016), analysing peer influence on adolescents neural and behavioural responses to viewing photos, distinguished neutral photos (e.g., pictures of friends) and photos of risky behaviours, such as: drinking alcohol, smoking, showing rude gestures, wearing provocative clothing. Dorsch and Ilhan (2016) in their study found that the majority of adolescents (90%) would share their portrait photos and would accept their friends doing so. Talking about risky photo sharing, authors note that 98% of participants stated that they would never share photos where their naked body is shown.…”

“…According to the emerging SNS users' tendency to post or share photos online, researchers in their qualitative studies attempted to categorize different types of photos SNS users are likely to share online. https://doi.org/10.15405/epsbs.2019.11.39 Corresponding Author: Ugnė Paluckaitė Selection and peer-review under responsibility of the Organizing Committee of the conference eISSN: 409 For example, Dorsch and Ilhan (2016) in their study of adolescents photo sharing on Facebook suggest these general photo categories: photos where adolescents are partying, where alcohol is shown, using drugs, expressing physical/sexual contact, showing sexiness, photos of a naked body, non-verbal aggression, trend photos, no person in a photo (e.g., architecture, animals), and portrait photos (e.g., selfies). Similarly, to this, Sherman and colleagues (2016), analysing peer influence on adolescents neural and behavioural responses to viewing photos, distinguished neutral photos (e.g., pictures of friends) and photos of risky behaviours, such as: drinking alcohol, smoking, showing rude gestures, wearing provocative clothing.…”

Adolescents’ intention and willingness to engage in risky photo disclosure on social networking sites: Testing the prototype willingness model

“…Inappropriate photos are usually associated with the display of a naked body (such as a person without a T-shirt) and the display of potentially risky behaviours such as carrying a weapon, fights, and use of psychoactive substances (Williams & Merten, 2008). According to Dorsch and Ilhan (2016), the majority of adolescents (around 90%) are likely to post their portrait photos online. Other authors (e.g., Anderson & Jiang, 2018;Sung et al, 2016) also state that the most popular type of photos teenagers share online, is what is known as a "selfie".…”

“…Online self-disclosure can be verbal and non-verbal (Paluckaitė & Žardeckaitė-Matulaitienė, 2017). One of the most popular non-verbal types of online self-disclosure, is sharing photos (Dorsch & Ilhan, 2016;Kofoed & Larsen, 2017). Around 80-90% of adolescents share their photos on SNS (Anderson & Jiang, 2018;Grigutytė et al, 2018).…”
