Abstract [sv]

Uppsatsen undersöker vilka intentioner som ligger till grund till varför tjejer tar selfies, samt hur de reflekterar över det. En kvalitativ studie har gjorts där 7 tjejer i åldrarna 18 – 19 år som alla är aktiva på Instagram och publicerar selfies mer frekvent har intervjuats. Syftet med studien är att försöka klargöra om det finns ett samband mellan tjejers självbild och identitetsskapande via publiceringen av selfies. Detta undersöks från teorier om identitetsskapande via sociala nätverk, samt framställningen av ansiktet vs kroppen och dess betydelse.

Samt att den positiva responsen kan ses som en motivationsfaktor till att fortsätta publicera selfies detta då den genererar en bekräftelse som personen är ute efter
