| Date Issued | 21 January 2024 |
| Abstract | Given the emerging trend of child influencers, it is imperative that we understand children’s situation in the digital realm. Rooted in the premise that child influencers are without full autonomy in their digital self-presentation, this study looks into child influencers as constructed personalities engineered via systems of digital curation and celebrification. The exhibitional approach to self-presentation (Hogan, 2010) and the star theory (Dyer, 1979) make up the theoretical groundings for this venture.

Ang exhibitional approach to self-presentation (Hogan, 2010) at ang star theory (Dyer, 1979) ang siyang bumubuo ng teoretikal na saligan ng pag-aaral. Upang mailarawan ang pagkakabuo ng mga batang influencer at ang mga implikasyon nito tungkol sa mga digital na karanasan ng mga kabataan, siniyasat ng pag-aaral na ito ang k |
