Abstract

The massive use of social networking sites makes people ‘increasingly interconnected’. The current paper aims at theoretical systematization of the concept of extimacy. It is defined as a phenomenon of public disclosure of own intimacy to achieve self-confirmation and acceptance of the inner self and to form a social bond. The article distinguishes extimacy from self-presentation, exhibitionism, shamelessness and coming-out. The assumed theoretical contexts refer to shame and identity formation. The study includes sections on extimacy’s examples, possible correlates, social media affordances, as well as suggestions for further empirical studies.

社交媒体中的亲密关系：极端主义的理论分析

社交网站的大量使用使人们“联系越来越紧密”。本文旨在对极端化概念进行理论系统化。它被定义为一种公开披露自己的亲密关系的现象，以实现对内在自我的自我确认和接受，并形成一种社会联系。这篇文章将极端主义与自我展示、暴露主义、无耻和出柜区分开来。假设的理论背景是羞耻感和身份形成。该研究包括极端主义的例子，可能的相关性，社交媒体启示，以及对进一步实证研究的建议。

期刊介绍： Culture & Psychology addresses the centrality of culture necessary for a basic understanding of the psychology of human beings: their identity, social conduct, intra- and intersubjective experiences, emotions and semiotic creativity. By drawing on diverse theoretical backgrounds, the editorial aim is to provide an international and interdisciplinary forum for scholarly investigations and discussions that will advance our basic knowledge of the self in its historical and cultural contexts. The orientation of the journal is towards formulating new conceptualizations of culture in psychology, together with theoretically relevant empirical investigations.
