In this project I collected 75 selfie profile photos of my friends from Wechat and then did some analyses.
I thought it was interesting how we both checked how many people were smiling in their profile pictures and both got about the same percentage (30%) for that statistic. I was just as surprised as you were that not as many people were smiling in their pictures as I had originally thought, since I was at least expecting most people would want to give off a happy or fun image of themselves from their profile picture.
Overall, good analysis on the pictures and I agree with your conclusion that people pick their pictures based on "how do I look" as opposed to "what will people think of my character," which I think is a valid point that most people overlook.
I was surprised at the fact that you found only 32% of people smiling and surprised that as any as 54.5% edited their photos. I would've thought that around 75% of people would be smiling and like 40% of people would have edited their profile pictures. I think your analysis was good because you collected solid data, however I think your conclusion could have been more - well - conclusive because you mainly ended up with 'maybe this was the case'.
