The Mindset is the Message: Reflections on the Mindset Propagated by Respective Instagram Accounts| Chapter 6 | Recent Trends in Arts and Social Studies Vol. 4

 Nowadays, the “psychology” seems expected a marketable commodity and–like everything trending–is very present on social news. Still, unlike #bodypositivity, for example, the term has not still received much academic attention. This item aims at understanding which type of mindset public media advocate for and what method are chosen to articulate this. After giving an emic description and categorizing the principles communicated in a sample of Instagram posts, two judgments become salient: Inconsistencies and grammatical rules applying to nouns that connote sex or animateness bias. Because of contradictory ideas, for the recipient, the bad feeling of cognitive discord should arise–freedom from other people is accentuated, but also understanding and changing outlooks. Control is demanded but also giving in control etc. Mixed and contradictory ideas are shared not only by different reports but also by individual reports. These inconsistencies maybe related to Instagram’s design, which uniformly offers inputs and requires adaptability and a change of perspective. In addition, the imagined society with added recipients maybe defined as a core profit: all recipients process fundamental human occurrences such as refusal, failure, and loneliness. Although many ideas stress independence, on a fundamental level, it is about relation. The second finding concerns the photographs: if people are described, they are almost particularly men, even though it is unclear whether the goal group is male. There is some evidence that this is on account of gender-specific vocabulary, but it keep also be elucidated as women or transgender things being less apt to reflect the psychology idea in the understanding of account holders.
