An Analysis of the Relationship Between Digital Storytelling Patterns And the Level of Self-Respect

Abstract

Digital storytelling is the traditional storytelling carried out by using the digital tools. This narration is based on a process which involves sound, visuals, graphics, image, music and text in an interactive environment. Today the individuals who are not only the content consumers but also the content producers, quite often use the digital storytelling. Therefore, this study aims to analyse the relationship between the digital storytelling patterns and the level of self-respect. It was concluded at the end of the study that the most prominent motives of the participants for using the digital storytelling are communication, sharing information, having fun and overcoming boredom. Sharing the photos or videos of “anything” or of “themselves” in their moments/stories has the biggest percent among the participants’ digital storytelling patterns. Sharing the photos or videos of “someone else” in their moments/stories constitutes the smallest percent. There is a meaningful difference between sharing a photo or video of one’s self in moments/stories and the level of self-respect.
