为何新妈妈们热衷晒娃？
Here's why new mothers post so many baby photos on Facebook
We've all got friends who might overshare a little when it comes to putting their personal lives on Facebook, and the phenomenon can be particularly noticeable with new parents, who sometimes can't seem to stop themselves from posting baby updates, pics, videos, and more pics.
说到在脸书上晒个人生活,我们也许都有一些分享过度的朋友,对新父母来说这一现象尤为明显,他们有时似乎抑制不住自己发宝宝的新动态、照片、视频,以及更多的照片.
Now a new study looks at the psychological motivations that can influence some new mothers to post so much on social media, and the findings suggest that they could be oversharing in less-than-healthy ways.
现在,一项新研究调查了可能会影响一些新妈妈在社交媒体过度晒娃的心理动机,结果表明过度分享可能并不是健康的方式.
"If a mother is posting on Facebook to get affirmation that she's doing a good job and doesn't get all the 'likes' and positive comments she expects, that could be a problem. She may end up feeling worse," said psychologist Sarah Schoppe-Sullivan from Ohio State University.
"如果一位妈妈在脸书上晒娃是为了得到认可,肯定自己是个好妈妈,但是收到的赞和肯定的评论与她所期待的有差距,就可能成为问题.最后她也许感觉更糟,"俄亥俄州立大学心理学家莎拉•绍珀-莎利文说道.
Schoppe-Sullivan and her team tracked 127 mothers in Ohio from when they were pregnant through to after their babies were born. The women were asked questions during the third trimester of their pregnancy about how much they believed society expected them to be perfect parent.
绍珀-莎利文和她的团队跟踪调查了俄亥俄州的127位母亲,从怀孕期间一直到孩子出生.这些女子在妊娠晚期（后三个月）回答了一些问题,关于她们在多大程度上相信社会对她们成为完美母亲有所期待.
After the birth, they were tested on how strongly they identified with their role as mothers, rating how much they agreed with statements such as: "I know people make judgments about how good of a partner/mother I am based on how well cared for my house and family are."
生产之后,她们接受了关于母亲身份认同感强度的测试,根据认可程度给一些语句打分,比如"我知道人们会根据我对家庭的照顾情况判断我是不是一个好妻子或好母亲."
The participants' use of Facebook was also monitored after the babies were born, including the frequency of activity and how often they uploaded photos of their babies, plus recording the mothers' emotional responses to their Facebook friends' comments and likes (or lack thereof).
