Abstract
İnternet tabanlı iletişim teknolojileri ve özellikle sosyal medya platformları, bireysel
davranışları ve toplumsal ilişkileri pek çok yönde etkiler. Sosyal medya, 21. yüzyılda
ortaya çıkan dijital kültür içindeki en etkili iletişim platformdur çünkü gerçek
toplumsal çevreye karşı alternatif bir sanal toplumsal çevre oluşturmaya izin verir.
Kullanıcılar bu platformları sadece sosyalleşmek, diğer insanlarla bağlantı halinde
olmak veya haber almak için kullanmazlar, aynı zamanda “kendilerini-benliklerini
sunmak” için de kullanırlar. Kullanıcılar, sosyal medya ortamlarında kendi arzu,
beğeni ve ideallerine göre yeniden inşa ettikleri bir dijital kimliğe sahip olabiliyorlar.
Sosyal medyanın bu psiko-sosyal etkisinin çok yönlü olarak analiz edilmesi gerekir.
Araştırmalar, “daha fazla takipçi edinme ve daha fazla izlenme arzusu”nun bazı
sosyal medya fenomenlerinde kompulsif sanrı aşamasına değin ilerleyebildiğini
göstermektedir. Elinizdeki dramaturjik analiz araştırmasında, Instagram
fenomenlerinin sosyal medyadaki benlik sunumları ile gözlemci-takipçi etkisi
arasındaki ilişki incelenmiş; benlik sunumunda özbelikten ideal benliğe doğru geçiş
şeklinde yaşanan dönüşüm, psikanalitik ve sosyal psikoloji terimleriyle
yorumlanmıştır. Takipçi sayısı 10,000’den (on bin) fazla olan ve “sosyal medya
fenomeni” olarak adlandırılan, rastlantısal yöntemle belirlenen 6 (altı) farklı
İnstagram kullanıcısının takipçi sayısı düşük olduğu “fenomenlik öncesi dönemi” ile
takipçi sayısının 10,000’i aştığı “fenomenlik dönemi”ne ait 5’şer adet paylaşımı,
Goffman’ın dramaturjik analiz yöntemiyle incelenmiştir. Bu araştırma bulgularına
göre, fenomen olarak adlandırılan kullanıcılar, gözlemci-takipçi etkisinin gücü ve
hızına bağlı olarak beğeni odaklı benlik sunumu evresine daha hızlı giriyor, öz
beliklerinden daha hızlı uzaklaşıyor ve gündelik benlik sunumu davranışlarını daha
hızlı terk ediyorlar. Bu olgu; fenomenlerin kendilerini takipçilerinin izleme, beğenme,
ilgisiz kalma, cesaretlendirme, destekleme, paylaşma, kaydetme, eleştirme ve yorum
yapma gibi dijital tepkilerine göre yeniden biçimlendirdikleri, benlik sunumlarını
takipçi arzularına göre yeniden şekillendiridikleri anlamına gelmektedir.
Kullanıcıların bir tür dijital yabancılaşma ve öz-benlik ile ideal benlik arasındaki
çatışma yaşamaları beklenilebilir. Sosyal medya bir iletişim aracı olmanın ötesine
geçmiş, bir sosyal etkileşim ortamı haline gelmiştir.
Internet-based communication technologies, and especially social media platforms, affect individual behaviors and social relationships in many aspects. Social media is such an effective communication platform in the digital culture emerging in the 21st century that allows to create an alternative virtual social environment to the real social environment. Users use these platforms not only to socialize, connect with other people, or receive news, but also to “present themselves-their selves.” Users have a digital identity in social media environments that they construct according to their desires, likes and epitomes. This psycho-social effect of social media needs to be analyzed ambidextrously. Research shows that “the desire to gain more followers and be watched more " can progress to the stage of compulsive delusion for some social media influencers. In this dramaturgical analysis study, the relationship between the self-presentations of Instagram influencers on social media and the observer-follower effect was examined, and the transformation of self-presentation from self to the ideal self was interpreted in terms of psychoanalytic and social psychology. The number of followers of 6 (six) different Instagram users, whose number of followers is more than 10,000 and called the “social media influencer” was determined by random method. It was examined according to Goffman's dramaturgical analysis method with 5 shares belonging to the “before” and “after period” of being influencer where the number of followers exceeds 10,000. According to these research findings, users, who are called influencers, enter the like- focused self-presentation phase faster, move away from their self-characteristics faster, and abandon their daily self-presentation behaviors faster, depending on the power and speed of the observer-follower effect. This phenomenon means that influencers reshape themselves according to their followers 'digital responses such as viewing, liking, disinterest, encouraging, supporting, sharing, recording, criticizing and commenting, and reconfigure their self-presentation according to their followers' desires. Users can be expected to experience some form of digital alienation and a conflict between self and ideal self. Social media has gone beyond being a means of communication and has become a medium of social interaction.
