A new study is out and it does not look good for a number of people working in TV news.

The study conducted at Washington State University finds that people who post lots of selfies are generally looked at in a negative light by others.

According to researchers, frequent selfie-takers are almost universally viewed as less likable, less successful, more insecure, and less open to new experiences than those who typically share photos of themselves taken by other people.

“Even when two feeds had similar content, such as depictions of achievement or travel, feelings about the person who posted selfies were negative and feelings about the person who posted posies were positive,” says lead author and WSU professor of psychology Chris Barry. “It shows there are certain visual cues, independent of context, that elicit either a positive or negative response on social media.”
