| Özet |
| One uses one’s autobiographical memory to try to retrieve knowledge from one’s previous experiences that one needs in the present day. Therefore, former experiences become important stimuli for one’s present life. This study aims to analyze the functions and influences of autobiographical memory through the sharing of childhood photographs on social media. This study differs from other studies on autobiographical memory in that it collected the data via social media, adding a new perspective to the existing literature. Within this framework, semistructured interviews were conducted using a qualitative research method with 26 people who had shared their childhood photographs on Facebook. In the analyses of the data acquired, it was determined that directive, self, and social functions of autobiographical memory are supported by sharing childhood photographs on social media and that social media environments are important sharing areas for the self for present and future purposes. The data acquired within the framework of the study are discussed from the perspective of the literature review. |
