Abstract

The study aimed to measure the relationship between children's presentation of their digital selves on short video platforms and their social acceptance, and to monitor the factors influencing the enhancement or weakening of children's social acceptance; such as escapism, level of social interaction, individual personality traits, and self-esteem, through a descriptive study; by drawing a stratified random sample of 473 children. The results of the study confirmed the existence of a statistically significant correlation between children's presentation of their digital selves on short video platforms and their social acceptance. The results also found that the variables "level of social interaction, escapism, self-esteem, and individual personality traits of children" had an effect on the relationship between children's presentation of themselves on short video platforms and their social acceptance. The study recommended the necessity of enhancing community awareness of children and their parents about digital media education and conducting educational guidance and psychological interventions to help children understand the relationship between self-presentation on social media and their perceptions of their real selves compared to their digital identity.
