The Place of a Child on Platforms: Responsibilities, Obligations, and Expectations
This panel delves into the complex entanglement of children within our 'platform society,' spotlighting their roles amidst the dynamics of platformisation, datafication, and monetisation. It scrutinises the emergence of child influencers, mapping their integration and active participation within the influencer economy. This exploration underscores the critical intersection between childhood and platformization, highlighting the commodification an…
Cute but concerning: Investigating the impact of portraying children in momfluencer content on engagement, advertising value and advertising effectiveness
Many momfluencers heavily feature their children on their social media profiles, often in an attempt to increase promotional success. Contrary to our assumptions and those from prior research, the results of our three experimental studies with mothers show that including a child in sponsored momfluencer content does not directly boost social and advertising potential. The first study (N = 154) indicates that child presence (versus absence) does n…
The (un)necessity of child portrayal in momfluencer content: Exploring mothers’ perspectives on influencer sharenting through in-depth interviews
Momfluencers heavily disclose personal information and pictures of their children on their social media as they aim to share parenting experiences with their followers. Including their children in their content may make them more authentic and increase their celebrity capital. However, empirical research testing this assumption is scarce. Importantly, the portrayal of children in influencer sharenting has raised concern regarding the privacy of t…
Tell me why: The impact of mindful sharenting explanations by momfluencers: An experimental study with mothers
Given the number of identified risks associated with influencer sharenting, momfluencers are increasingly adopting a more mindful approach to sharing information about their children online. Prior qualitative research suggests that followers respond positively towards these mindful sharenting practices, especially when motives are communicated. However, there is a lack of experimental exploration into this finding and its potential explanations. …
Child’s privacy versus mother’s fame: Unravelling the biased decision-making process of momfluencers to portray their children online
Many privacy concerns are related to influencer sharenting, or the practice of influencers sharing content about their children on social media. This study uncovers how momfluencers (i.e., mothers who collected a large following on their social media channels by sharing insights of their motherhood experiences) reflect on these privacy concerns and examines how these concerns rationally and/or biasedly impact their sharenting behaviour. By conduc…
Managing authenticity in a kidfluencers’ world: A qualitative study with kidfluencers and their parents
Though kidfluencer marketing is becoming more prevalent, research into children as senders of commercial messages is scarce. Considering the roles of parents, followers and commercial partners, this study is the first to conceptualise and explore kidfluencers’ authenticity management. In total, 19 in-depth interviews with kidfluencers (aged 7–12 years) and their parents show that kidfluencer profiles are not an authentic representation of the chi…
Work it baby! A survey study to investigate the role of underaged children and privacy management strategies within parent influencer content
Nowadays, parents are increasingly drawn to establish a successful influencer status on social media. Being a parent influencer offers an alluring work environment, allowing them to combine devotion to their children and generating a considerable income. However, both scholars and policymakers raise significant concerns regarding the orchestrated and monetized nature of influencer sharenting, which involves sharing children’s personal information…
