المملكة: Faliman celebrities are distorting the concept of success and confusing the awareness of youth

Specialists in psychology and education emphasized that the growing audience’s interest in celebrity income numbers is not a transient, but rather reflects rooted psychological motives, most notably curiosity and social comparison, which begins from childhood and lasts for life.
In their interview with Al -Youm, they explained that this innate curiosity pushes individuals to follow the details of the lives of celebrities, while social comparison contributes to feeding an internal feeling of dissatisfaction, especially when fictional numbers are offered to success and wealth. They also warned of the danger of this content on young people, because of its psychological and behavioral effects that extend to the formation of wrong convictions and imitation of unrealistic patterns, calling for a greater awareness role than the media and society to direct the compass towards real and more valuable models.

Professor of Psychology, Professor Muhammad bin Metrick Al -Qahtani, stressed that the public’s interest in numbers published about celebrity income is due to a psychological motive in a person known as “the motive for curiosity and the love of reconnaissance”, noting that he is a motive that appears from childhood and continues throughout the life of the individual.

He explained that this motivation pushes people to seek to know the details of the lives of others, especially celebrities, in order to satisfy an innate internal need for knowledge.
Al -Qahtani pointed out that this curiosity begins early; The child runs towards the door just to hear the sound of his ways, or raises the phone’s headphone without asking anyone, which is the same behavior that explains the attraction of adults to follow the lives of celebrities, the details of their entry and their lifestyle.
He pointed out that these practices stem from the desire to understand and see, which is a psychological need in which everyone participates in varying degrees. He added that “social comparison” is one of the main engines of this interest, as the individual inherently tends to measure his situation compared to others, especially those who live a life of luxury and fame.

He pointed out that the moral responsibility also has the responsibility of the celebrities themselves, through

The way they present their wealth and lives to the public, stressing that small generations acquire their behaviors through what is known in psychology as “learning of modeling”, where the individual is affected by the model he watches and reproduces in his private life.
He explained that this tradition may not stop at superficial appearances such as the haircut or dress style, but rather extends to the adoption of certain convictions and behaviors, which enhances the need for the model to be a real role model in values ​​and principles. Al -Qahtani extended an honest invitation to young people and adolescents, and also to adults as well, to choose positive models tolerate them.
“Al -Qahtani” indicated that Islam abounds with great personalities that can form a true source of inspiration, led by the Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, his esteemed companions, and the righteous predecessors.
He stressed that these models offer high human lessons in honesty, generosity, respect, and giving, which are the values ​​that must be cultivated in the hearts of the new generation to form a protective shield from the negative impact of the misleading media content.

For her part, a special education specialist, Rabab Abu Saif, said that the increasing interest in the numbers of celebrities on social media platforms is not purely curious, but rather is related to deep psychological mechanisms, most notably “social comparison”, which drives individuals to measure their position based on the successes of others, especially those who have won fame and wealth.
She explained that this repeated style of content may cause confusion in concepts, as money becomes the only criterion for success, and the side of ijtihad and real work is overlooked, which reflects negatively on self -satisfaction, especially when individuals compare their limited entry with fictional numbers that are widely circulated.
She added that this phenomenon is not limited to its effects on the psychological side, but also extends to consumer behavior, as many are attracted to acquire products that celebrities promote in an attempt to simulate their lifestyle, which is exploited by marketing campaigns that make a false image of easy success.
Abu Saif warned of the negative effects of these messages on the youth category, including a sense of frustration, loss of values, and imitation of life patterns that exceed their capabilities, stressing the importance of building real awareness content that reveals the falsehood of these numbers, and re -corrects the compass towards more realistic and credible success models.
She concluded her speech by emphasizing that some individuals may fall into the trap.
