Self-presentation of Young Adults on the Instagram
Broďáková, Apolena ; Wladyniak, Ludmila Maria (advisor) ; Mitrenga, David (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the process of self-presentation of young adults on the Instagram. The aim of this work is to explain how the process of self-presentation takes place and how it differs from self-presentation in real life. The work is based on the dramaturgical approach of Erving Goffman, which is expanded by the look of Joshua Meyrowitz, i.e. the influence of electronic media, which is presented in the theoretical part. The practical part is based on qualitative research. The research was conducted using semi-structured photo- elicitation interviews, which were analyzed by using a combination of closed and open coding. Based on these interviews, an analysis was conducted that concludes that self-presentation on Instagram's social network differs from that in real life in that it is more thoughtful and artificial, individuals share their photos depending on the responses which they receive from others. The spontaneity of everyday interactions is omitted, and the individuals presents themselves as a product, not as their identity.

Psychological aspects of Instagram
TRPKOVÁ, Dominika
The bachelor thesis deals with the current topic of psychological impacts of social networks, namely the influence of Instagram on the perception of Self. The thesis uses the design of a theoretical study devoted to the analysis of current foreign studies, which primarily deal with the importance of using Instagram to reflect its own self-image and the degree of its influence on changes in satisfaction with one's body. Another important theoretical part was the research focused on narcissism as a personality trait often referred to as one of the key motives for increased activity on social networks. The last thematic area deals with the results of research on self-presentation on Instagram, namely both the strategies of the presentation itself and the social perception of others. The aim of the bachelor thesis is to introduce the basics of the psychological perspective on the influence of social networks (specifically Instagram as a means of self-presentation) on the individual, the partial goal was to describe the methodology of social network research. The analysis shows the methodological diversity of the used approaches and the ambiguity of the results. However, there is evidence of the influence of media and social networks on the perception of our physical ideal and there is evidence of the influence of narcissism on sharing and adding self-presenting photos to Instagram.
