One afternoon, while I was watching the popular MTV program "Catfish: The TV Show", a particular episode caught my attention. The episode was about a young girl named Tracey Armah who created a fake Facebook profile to virtually attack other users in an aggressive manor The profile was under the name Jaqueline Linkwood and Tracey, the creator, used the profile of another girl, Falesha In the end ". Jaqueline" changed her fake profile to the name Felisha and started pretending to be her. "Jaqueline" friend-friended Falesha's friends on Facebook and posted numerous abusive comments making Falesha's life a living nightmare. I was curious and I thought about the psychology behind Tracey's callous behavior. Why would she pretend to be another girl to purposely intimidate people online? What was her purpose in writing spiteful comments to other people? I explored through research what the psychological concepts behind Tracey's behavior might be and found some very interesting answers. In the episode Tracey had confessed that her father had died right before she created the fake account (Catfish: The TV Show). Death obviously played a role in Tracey's behavior towards others. He would degrade others by using explicit language in his writings and comments. The article "Death, Dying and Grief" describes that aggressive behavior and problems in relationships with peers are all normal signs of manifestation of a person's anger towards a death (Death, Dying and Grief). Tracey was hurt, however, she didn't show it. Depression is linked to anger and vice versa. “Anger can be helpful, but when turned inward, it is more likely to be called depression,” as described in the article “Hello Grief.” There are stages of grief over an affair, anger and depression... middle of paper... online, but also herself. The people she bullied didn't know Tracey's past or explanations for her actions. There's a lot of psychology that comes from Tracey's depression and her reluctance to take on a different manor. Knowing that her father died and knowing that she was bullied helps narrow down the explanation for her actions and thoughts. The episode ended with Tracey being located a few months into filming the show. Tracey's update was about how she felt immensely better about herself and no longer bullied people online or needed to to feel better. She also said that facing her problems and talking about them helped her realize what she was doing to herself and others (Catfish: The TV Show). Tracey realizing her actions is a huge learning tool that will help her in the future with any issues that arise.
