A Study On The Mechanism Of The Influence Of Selfie Perspective On The Intention Of Others To Make Friends In Network Communication

According to the theory of embodied cognition,different physical experiences will influence people's cognition to a great extent.When people watch self-photographs from different shooting perspectives on the social network,people's perceptions produced by the body are different.When viewing a picture of a self-portrait angle(the camera is above the horizontal line of sight of the self-shot subject,the self-timer needs to look up),the viewer will feel like he is looking down on the body of the picture,just like looking down The height is lower than that of one's own child;when viewing a picture with a top view angle(below the camera is below the horizontal line of sight of the self-shot subject,the self-timer needs to look down the camera),the viewer will appear to be looking up at the subject The physical feeling is like looking up at a person who is taller than himself or stands tall and strong.Different self-portraits bring different feelings to viewers,which leads viewers to produce different cognitive evaluations on self-portraits and affect viewers' intentions to make friends with self-portraits.This study is based on the theory of embodied cognition and aims to study the influence of self-portraits in online interaction on the intentions of the viewers in making friends.It also explores the role of the self-timer in adjusting the gender of the self-timer and the viewers' assessment of the cuteness of self-portraits.The mediating role of degree of aptitude and ability.This study designed three experiments,taking undergraduates and postgraduates of Jilin University as subjects.Experiment 1 used the interview room design(looking up from the self-portrait perspective,head-shot self-portraits,and top-down self-portraits),where the head-shot self-portrait perspective was the control group and explored the impact of the selfportrait on the intentions of the viewers.In experiment two,a mixed experimental design of inter-group factors(gender of self-portraits: male self-timer,female self-timer)×intergroup factors(self-portraits)was explored to explore whether the gender of the self-timer's subject would adjust the self-portrait's perspective to the viewer's intention to make friends.The influence and whether the gender of the self-timer will adjust the self-portrait,affects the viewer's assessment of the cuteness,friendliness and ability of the self-timer.In Experiment 3,the single-factor interview room design was used(upwards self-portraits,head-up self-portraits,and top-down self-portraits),and the viewers were measured for the assessment of the cuteness,friendliness and ability of self-portraits.Explore the male selfportraits and female self-portraits for different self-portraits.The viewers' assessment of the self-portrait's cuteness,friendliness,and ability level will mediate the impact of selfportraits on the viewers' intention to make friends.This study obtained the following conclusions through three experiments:(1)Compared with the head-shot self-portraits,the viewers who watch the selfportraits looking upwards have a higher intention to make friends with self-portraits.(2)Compared with the head-shot self-portraits,viewers looking at self-portraits looking down from the self-portraits have higher intentions to self-portraits.(3)The gender of the self-timer adjusts the influence of the self-portrait on the viewer's intention to make friends.That is to say,for women self-portraits,viewers who watch the self-portraits looking up at self-portraits have significantly higher margins of self-portraits than those who watch top-view self-portraits.(4)The sex of the self-imaged subject adjusts the influence of the self-portrait on the viewer's assessment of the cuteness,friendliness and ability of the self-timer.That is,for woman's self-portraits,viewers who look up from a self-portrait viewing angle have a significantly higher evaluation of the cuteness,friendliness,and ability of self-portraits than those viewing a self-portrait viewing perspective assessment.For man's self-portraits,the viewers viewing the self-portraits looking down at the self-portraits have significantly higher self-portraits than the viewers who watch the self-portraits looking at self-portraits.(5)The influence of cuteness and friendliness on the self-portraits of female selfportraits has a significant mediating effect.That is,looking up at the self-portrait will allow the viewer to evaluate the female self-portrait subject more lovable and more friendly,thus increasing the viewer's intention to make friends with self-portraits.
