Scientists analyzed reactions to more than 1,000 selfies to explain how we use them to communicate, according to a study on Frontiers in Communication.
“Although the term ‘selfies’ is now celebrating its 21st birthday,” said Tobias Schneider, study lead author of the study at the University of Bamberg, “Although selfies are known in art history for nearly 200 years in photography and more than 500 years in paintings, we still lack a clear classification of the different types of selfies.”
