Sažetak
Thanks to technological development and the emergence of social media, today we live in the time when individuality and privacy is inevitably exposed and present online. Despite all advantages, daily usage of social media can lead to overly exposure of one’s privacy. Purpose of this research is to find out how much is privacy important to younger Facebook and Instagram users, and to what extent they are willing to share part of their privacy with the rest of the world. To finding more specific details, research also focuses on how users change their privacy settings depending on what type of post they share, and explores connections between the real world they live in and maintaining the ‘the image’ in the virtual world, namely social media. Also, task of this research is to establish in which way ‘the real world’ affects creating and maintaining self-image in the virtual world. The aim is to find out to what extent these two align and harmonize, for example, does actions on social media match actions in reality. Also, this research will try to show potential harm and awareness about sharing too much privacy on social media with finding out the reasons why users decide to share one specific content with public and ‘hide’ other. This research is conducted in two phases. In the first phase, an online questionnaire is distributed to users of social media (Facebook and Instagram). In the second phase, participants who agree to continue participation in this research are asked to elaborate further on their answers regarding privacy issues and self-imaging with in-depth semi-structured interviews.
