3. „Sharenting is [the] shorthand term
denoting when parents share
information about themselves and
their children online.
- Blum-Ross, A., & Livingstone, S. (2017).
4. Self-presentation as parents on Instagram:
Why do parents (over)share photos of children & parenthood on Instagram?
5. BENEFITS OF SHARENTING
➤ Social Participation: „I would like family and friends to participate in my
life.“
➤ Pride Confirmation: „I am proud of my child and therefore I would like to
show it to the whole world.“
➤ Envy of others: „It feels good to show my child to others and maybe some
even get a little bit envious.“
➤ Perceived Convenience: „In the case of an extensive network of friends
and family, it is of course advantageous if one can show his children
without immense effort.“
(Wagner, A., & Gasche, L. A. (2018))
7. COSTS FOR THE CHILD
➤ Privacy risks for the child: The risk to lose the control over private
information about the child.
„The photo is quickly distributed and might fall into wrong hands.“
➤ Face risks for the child: The risk that the child being embarrassed, being
the victim of cyber-bullying or simply being negatively evaluated.
„There is a fundamental risk that the child will be ashamed of the picture
later.“
(Wagner, A., & Gasche, L. A. (2018))
8. DIGITAL DILEMMA OF PARENTING
SELF-PRESENTATION
➤ Presentation of one’s own
identity as a parent means
making public aspects of a
(potentially vulnerable)
child’s life.
PRIVACY PROTECTION
➤ At the same time, because
they are the parent, they are
precisely the person
primarily responsible for
protecting child’s privacy.
(Blum-Ross, A., & Livingstone, S. (2017))
VS.
9. ➤ Actively cover the child’s face with emoticons or to take a picture without
showing a face (40%*).
➤ Share pictures with harmless content (37%*).
➤ Reduce the number of posts by sharing only special moments (5%*)
➤ Hide information like name, location and age (2%*).
➤ Share pictures only as long as the child is under 2 years old (1%*).
STRATEGIES TO DEAL WITH THE DILEMMA
* These are self-reported privacy intentions/
strategies of parents!
(Wagner, A., & Gasche, L. A. (2018))
10. PRIVACY PARADOX
ATTITUDES
➤ Internet users’ attitudes show
that users are highly
concerned about their privacy
and the collection and use of
their personal information.
BEHAVIOUR
➤ Individuals reveal personal
information for relatively
small rewards (for drawing
the attention of peers).
(Kokolakis, S. (2017))
VS.
11. RESEARCH QUESTIONS
How do parents deal with the digital
dilemma of boundary management
(„digital self vs. digital child“)?
To what extent are privacy protection
practices influenced by parents general
digital presentation of lifestyle (and self)?

13. „
- Stebbins, R. A. (1997).
A lifestyle is a distinctive set of shared
patterns of tangible behaviour that is
organised around a set of coherent interests
or social conditions or both, that is explained
and justified by a set of related values,
attitudes, and orientations and that, under
certain conditions, becomes the basis for a
separate, common social identity for its
participants.

63. FIRST QUANTITATIVE RESULTS ANALYSING LIFESTYLE
➤ The more often images the shows „situations of playing“, „family pictures“,
„pictures of children“ or „pictures of toys“ are on the account, the lower is
the minimal value of face protection on this account.
The more child-orientated the represented lifestyle is, the less parents
care about privacy protection on the account.
➤ The more often the account represents images of furniture or interior or
several rooms, the lower is the maximum degree of nudity one the account.
The less child-orientated the represented lifestyle is, the more parents
care about privacy protection on the account.
65. AS A SOCIOLOGIST, GENDER DISCRIMINATION IS ALWAYS AN ISSUE…

What is the reason for these discriminating
results?
Is it in the picture or in the algorithm?
67. FOUR MESSAGES TO
TAKE HOME …
1. Although parents know privacy protection strategies, 50% share
pictures with their children's sensitive visual information.
2. The privacy protection behaviour depends on the demographics as
well as the usage behaviour of the parents.
3. Images that contain a lot of sensitive visual information of children are
more popular among users.
4. If the Instagram account is a representation of a lifestyle that focuses
primarily on children, sensitive visual information about children are
more likely to be shared.
