Why Parents Show Their Children on Social Media: A Problem That Wasn't Expected

There are people who create pages on social networks only for themselves. There are those who record almost every step of their life and the lives of their children. Some avoid registration altogether.

But psychologists are interested in those who post photos of their children on social networks. Why do parents do this?

Experts have analyzed parents who publish photos of their children on their accounts according to their psychological types.

The first psychotype is hysteroid. These are people who need constant attention and self-affirmation. For them, social networks become a mechanism for self-affirmation, and they often attribute their child's achievements to themselves, Anna Guseva, a senior lecturer at the psychology department of Synergy University, told RuNews24.

Another psychotype is called epileptoid.

This includes people who value discipline above all else and view their child as a strategic object.

The next psychotype is schizoid.

These comrades live in their own world, where the Internet is a means of demonstrating this internal state, where the child takes an active part, without even knowing it.

The fourth psychotype is hyperthymic.

Outwardly, these are active and cheerful people, but for them, the most important thing is their image. In this case, publishing photos with children is considered brand promotion - just to attract the attention of subscribers.

And the list ends with asthenics – people “experiencing anxiety and lack of self-confidence.”
