“…Based on an online survey of 736 college students recruited via email from a large Midwestern university, Tandoc et al (2015) found that the use of Facebook triggers feelings of envy, which expose users to the risk of depression. Lim and Yang (2015) used the survey responses of 446 university students attending a Korean university to study the emotional effect of social comparisons occurring in a SNS environment. Their results suggest that a predominant activity in SNS is making social comparisons with public figures and that such comparisons trigger a range of emotional responses including envy and shame.…”

“…We add to these works by conducting the first study of the role of online social networks. The second literature encompasses psychological studies that considered the extent to which using Facebook prompts feelings of frustration and dissatisfaction in small and limited samples of users, generally composed of undergraduate students attending specific colleges (de Vries and Kühne, 2015;Lim and Yang, 2015;Tandoc et al, 2015).…”

Online social networks such as Facebook disclose an unprecedented volume of personal information amplifying the occasions for social comparisons. We test the hypothesis that the use of social networking sites (SNS) increases people's dissatisfaction with their income. After addressing endogeneity issues, our results suggest that SNS users have a higher probability to compare their achievements with those of others. This effect seems stronger than the one exerted by TV watching, it is particularly strong for younger people, and it affects men and women in a similar way.

“…For example, in a 2006 study, Hedley and Yang outline how social comparison fuels depressive symptoms in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders. Similarly, Lim and Yang's (2015) research concludes that social media use causes envy and shame as a result of social comparison among neurotypical individuals, indicating that individuals with disabilities may be at increased risk for symptoms of depression, envy, and shame resulting from social media use (Howey, 2012). Significant research also exists regarding the comorbidity of autism spectrum disorders and attention deficit disorders (Leitner, 2014), which is compounded by findings from Odaci and Celik (2016) linking Internet dependence to poor social relations, impulse control, coping ability, and body image.…”

“…Researchers have identified an almost identical list of issues in neurotypical students resulting from the extensive use of a variety of media (Boyle et al, 2016;den Hamer & Konijn, 2015;Fardouly & Vartanian, 2016;Lim & Yang, 2015;Woods & Scott, 2016). These findings stimulate interest in exploring how students with autism spectrum disorders and emotional and behavioral disorder may be predisposed to the negative effects of social media use.…”

Media literacy and special education communities have largely ignored the impact of digital media use on special education students with Autism spectrum disorder and Emotional and Behavioral Disorder. This paper investigates the possibility of using social media literacy education as part of an individualized education plan (IEP) intervention for improving the social and emotional learning outcomes of students with disabilities. Using the example of a "provocative selfie" as a form of media production and consumption, this paper provides a framework for using the NAMLE key questions to teach specific CASEL Social and Emotional (SEL) competencies and address IEP goals and objectives of students with social and emotional deficits. By using the key questions of media literacy to teach the CASEL competencies, educators can provide special education students with strategies for analyzing, evaluating, creating, and acting responsibly in the digital world while remediating poor social and emotional skills commonly associated with many social, emotional, and behavioral disorders.

“…Instead of general emotions and feelings, a few studies specifically focused on envy as a negative consequence of Facebook use (Krasnova, Wenninger, Widjaja, & Buxmann, ; Lim & Yang, ; Tandoc, Ferrucci, & Duffy, ; Verduyn et al, ). For example, Tandoc et al () found that time spent on Facebook was associated with envy.…”

People often compare themselves to others to gain a better understanding of the self in a process known as social comparison. The current study discusses how people engage in a social comparison process on Facebook, and how observing content from their Facebook friends may affect their emotions. A 2 (comparison direction) × 2 (relational closeness) × 2 (self‐esteem) between‐subjects experiment was conducted with 163 adult participants. The results revealed a significant 3‐way interaction such that people with high self‐esteem would be happier receiving positive information than negative information from their close friends, but the effect would be the opposite if the information was from a distant friend. There was no such difference for people with low self‐esteem.
