A social identity perspective of social media's impact on satisfaction with life

Abstract: Social media platforms have become an (almost) obligatory part of our lives and activities. However, many disadvantages have emerged such as an increase in dependency on social media owing to addictions known as the dark side of social media. The current research seeks to understand the impact of specific aspects of this dark side, viz. social media addiction, fear of missing out, and narcissism, on self‐esteem, and their links with an individual's satisfaction with life (SwL). The results of a quantitative su… Show more

“…It has been observed that engagement in social media is a form of social identity creation, which is driven by an individual's need for belongingness and strengthening of self‐identity (Krishen et al, 2019; Pagani et al, 2011; Rauschnabel et al, 2019). The SIT perspective holds that individuals join various groups (e.g., organisations, clubs, social media groups) to develop their identity or self‐perception, and they form strong connections (i.e., bonds) with others who have very similar personal characteristics or interests, giving rise to a shared group identity (as opposed to personal identity; Beck et al, 2014; Dutot, 2020; Tajfel & Turner, 2004). Similarly, as discussed earlier, bonding social capital (as opposed to bridging) forms when individuals affine with people who share similar interests, values, norms etc; thus, the common (shared) identity in a group becomes more prominent through bonding (Williams, 2006).…”

“…Regarding the concurrent validity of Przybylski’s FoMO scale, previous studies have found that FoMO is not only positively associated with online problematic behaviors, such as social media disorder [ 22 ], smartphone addiction [ 23 ], and problematic internet use [ 14 ], but also has associated with psychopathological symptoms [ 24 ] and leads to negative consequences such as more phubbing behavior [ 2 ], poorer academic performance [ 25 ], more sleep problems [ 26 ], and lower well-being [ 27 ]. Therefore, it was expected that FoMO is positively associated with smartphone addiction but negatively associated with subjective well-being.…”
