How are extraversion, exhibitionism, and gender associated with posting selfies on WeChat friends' circle in Chinese teenagers?

The Multipurpose Application WeChat: A Review on Recent Research

“…In addition, this user group additionally exhibited lower agreeableness scores, a personality trait closely linked to substance use disorders as pointed out in a meta-analysis by Kotov et al (2010). Additional personality traits have also been shown to account for individual differences in WeChat usage, such as posting more selfies on WeChat has been associated with higher extraversion (Guo et al, 2018). Wang (2017) pointed out that this kind of self-presenting/promoting behavior might additionally be associated with the personality trait of narcissism.…”

“…Other studies have also examined frequency of selfie-taking behavior but either they did not report mean responses32 or responses were in a format (ie, never to always) which precluded conversion to number of selfies posted within a given time-frame 9,26. However, findings from these studies suggest that greater clarity is needed into gender disparities in online selfies, with Dhir et al26 reporting that girls posted selfies more frequently than boys, which contrasted with the similar rates of posting between boys and girls reported by Guo et al30 Additional investigation of online selfies has indicated that adolescents are more active in their selfie posting than young or older adults,26,32 highlighting the need to examine the effects of selfie practices in this population.…”

“…Indeed, Boursier and Manna25 reported that 82% of 14–19-year-old Italian adolescents shared selfies through Facebook and other social network sites and 60.2% shared selfies through WhatsApp groups. In investigations of Chinese adolescents' online selfies, Guo et al30 and Zheng et al31 also examined posting to single platforms, the Chinese services WeChat friends’ circle and Qzone, respectively. The studies reported noticeably discrepant levels of selfie posting, with greater frequency of posting to WeChat friends’ circle (12–13 selfies posted per month) than to Qzone (with the total sample posting on average a little more than once per month, and a smaller proportion [42.15%] posting more than once per week).…”

“…The difference in reported posting frequency may be accounted for by different data collection methods. Although self-report was used in both studies, data collected on postings to WeChat friends’ circle30 provide a somewhat objective measure of selfie posting, as adolescents were asked to check their phones to report how many selfies they had posted to this platform in the previous month. It is possible that when asked to recall their frequency of selfie posting, the method employed by many studies, including Zheng et al,31 adolescents may underreport their posting, because of either social desirability or inaccuracy of recall.…”
