“…The relationship between Twitter and Instagram use and life satisfaction was examined in three studies and no association was found in any of the three studies (Chae, 2018; Masciantonio et al , 2021; Wirtz et al , 2021), except for a sub-sample that found Instagram to be negatively associated (Reimann et al , 2021). One study underlines the positive relationship between LinkedIn and Mobile Messenger use and life satisfaction (Chae, 2018).…”

Purpose As our time spent on social networking sites (SNS) is increasing, more people are facing the psychological and mental consequences of SNS use. Given the growing body of research on the relationship between social network use and life satisfaction, this study aims to provide an overview of empirical studies through a systematic literature review. Design/methodology/approach As a result of the screening process, 43 articles were included in the review in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. First, the characteristics of the studies included in the review, such as sample country, data collection method and data analysis method, are presented. Then, the findings on the relationship between SNS use and life satisfaction are outlined. Findings Based on the results, it is seen that the relationship between SNS use and life satisfaction varies considerably with the sample and platforms studied. Theoretically, this systematic review provides a comprehensive picture of the relationship between SNS use and life satisfaction and encourages researchers to study the topic further. Originality/value There are reviews on the relationship between SNS use and psychological factors such as self-esteem, loneliness or depression. In the reviews, limited variables such as problematic social network use, adolescents’ social network use and social network addiction have been examined instead of general social network use. However, the number of reviews on the relationship between social network use and life satisfaction is quite limited. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this systematic review is both a comprehensive literature review and one of the first studies to provide a broad perspective on the relationship between social network use and life satisfaction.

“…This distinction is highlighted even more by the popularity of newer functions such as short videos (Ryan & Linehan, 2022) that are temporarily published on the profile (so-called stories and reels). Recent findings (Lin, 2022;Reimann et al, 2023;Roberts & David, 2023) suggest that Instagram serves as a platform not only for personal expression, but also as a means for users to navigate their social environments, seeking out the content that aligns with their personal interests and aspirations.…”

This study investigates the link between the perfectionistic self-presentation and smartphone addiction, with a particular focus on the driving motives and behavioural patterns associated with Instagram use. Engaging a sample of 313 individuals , predominantly female (58.5%), aged 18 to 39 (M = 23.67; SD = 4.77), we meticulously examined the factors that might underpin this dynamic. The following scales were used as measures: the Perfectionistic Self-Presentation Scale, the Motives for Instagram Use Scale, the Instagram Usage Questionnaire, and the Smartphone Addiction Short Scale. The path analysis results revealed a correlation between the perfectionistic self-presentation and smartphone addiction. It was also confirmed that perfectionistic self-presentation was associated with increased motives for Instagram use, which were further linked to Instagram usage habits, ultimately leading to higher levels of smartphone addiction. All motives were found to be connected to the need for perfectionistic self-presentation, with different motives underpinning active or passive use of social networks and subsequent potential addiction. Interpreted through the lens of the Perfectionistic Social Exclusion Model and the Uses and Gratifications Theory, our results offer richer understanding of how social media can fulfil perfectionistic tendencies and contribute to addictive behaviours. The study emphasizes the need for a multidimensional approach to examining the social media's psychological impact, proposing a bridge between individual predispositions and broader social phenomena. These insights not only contribute to academic discourse, but also have implications for mental health practitioners and policy makers concerned with the growing intersection of social media use and psychological well-being.

Background As photo editing behavior to enhance one?s appearance in photos becomes more and more prevalent on social network sites (SNSs), potential risks are increasingly discussed as well. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between photo editing behavior, self-objectification, physical appearance comparisons, self-perceived attractiveness, and self-esteem. Methods 403 participants completed self-report questionnaires measuring the aformentioned constructs. A parallel-sequential multiple mediation model was conducted to examine the relationship between photo editing behavior and self-esteem considering multiple mediators. Results The results indicate that photo editing behavior is negatively related to self-perceived attractiveness and self-esteem mediated via self-objectification and physical appearance comparisons. Conclusions The postulated mediation model was justified by our data. Thus, SNS users should be aware of potential negative consequences when using photo editing applications or filters.
