Abstract
-
As the most obvious provision of social media in the individual world, „selfie“ is confronted ata point where self-confidence is increased or lost. Nowadays, the use of social media startsat a very early age, and self efficacy beliefs are also developing at an early age. However, themadness of selfie is becoming more of an „infantilized“ action. Thus, it can be argued thatit functions as a counterfeit of the self and serves as a mirror in the individual’s world. It isalso true that this „new or pseudo mirror“, which shows us both to ourselves and to others,also raises concerns about perceptual development, curiosity and visibility in the era of selfdiscovery throughout the developmental process. The concept of self-reflection and „selfie“in its social media term emerges at a point where the individual’s internal communication isbroken. It brings a „dual-dyadic“ concept on one hand and a „triad theory“ on the other. Thestudy aims to analyze „selfie“ madness in social media, providing examples and assumptionswithin the framework of these theoretical discussions. The study aims to add new dimensionsto the concept of self portrayals of individuals within national and international examples in thelight of current media scrutiny.
