“…As such, even when exposed to various pieces of career development information, these individuals may not experience severe career anxiety. In line with these arguments, a series of recent studies have indicated that SCO plays an important role in the social comparison context (Richmond et al, 2021;Turel, 2021).…”

PurposeDespite the dramatic increase in people's use of social media, relatively few studies have examined its effect on careers. Drawing upon social comparison theory and self-regulation theory, this study aims to investigate how career-oriented social media usage interacts with social comparison orientation (SCO) to influence the career exploration of university students.Design/methodology/approachThree waves of survey data are collected from 482 university students in China. Hypotheses are tested through ordinary least squares analysis.FindingsResults show that career-oriented social media usage increases career anxiety, which in turn promotes career exploration. Furthermore, SCO strengthens such influence of career-oriented social media usage.Originality/valueGiven the limited attention paid to the effects of social media in career contexts, this study distinguishes career-oriented social media usage and proposes insights into its effect on career exploration. In doing so, this study extends social media literature and provides implications for the transition of university students from school to work in the digital era.

“…Most of what we know about the role of personality traits in social comparison was assessed with scales of social comparison orientation or tendency (Buunk et al, 2020) and most of our knowledge about social comparison in personality disorders is based on the assessment of social comparison orientation and social ranking. For example, it has been reported that social comparison orientation serves as a moderator of the relationship between symptoms of borderline personality disorder and self-esteem (Richmond et al, 2021). Additionally, patients with antisocial personality disorder rate themselves more negatively compared to others, relative to healthy controls (Özdel et al, 2015).…”

People constantly compare their appearance and well-being to that of other individuals. However, there is a lack of a measure of social comparisons of well-being, and existing appearance-related social comparison scales assess social comparison tendency using predefined social situations. This limits our understanding of the role of social comparison in self-evaluation and well-being. Therefore, we developed the Scale for Social Comparison of Appearance (SSC-A) and the Scale for Social Comparison of Well-being (SSC-W) that assess downward and upward social comparisons with regards to a) frequency, b) perceived discrepancy, and c) affective impact during the last three weeks. In one longitudinal and three cross-sectional studies with sample sizes ranging from 500 to 1,119 participants, we administered the SSC-A or the SSC-W alongside measures of appearance social comparisons, body satisfaction, self-concept, social rank, psychological well-being, envy, rumination, depression and anxiety. Confirmatory factor analyses supported the expected two-factor solution representing upward and downward social comparisons for both scales. Their validity was supported by significant associations with the measured constructs. Overall, upward comparisons displayed higher associations with most measured constructs than downward comparisons. The SSC-A and SSC-W offer parsimonious, reliable and valid measures of social comparisons of appearance and well-being.

“…The results of a study found that higher levels of immature defenses were associated with greater self-esteem instability (Zeigler-Hill et al, 2008). BP symptoms are seen to be associated with lower Self Esteem (SE) (Richmond et al, 2021). A study even shows that impression formation in BP may be characterized by unstable and negative evaluations of conjugal life (Mongeon & Gagnon, 2017).…”

Baulism is an esoteric cult based lifestyle cum philosophy, based on detachment and search for self. It is one of the rare eastern Indic cultures, which incorporates lifestyle and serenity of oneself. In Baul philosophy, self-clarity means a practical picture of the mirroring the self, which can be realized and not explicitly empirically justified. People with Borderline Personality (BP) have an unstable sense of self leading to irritability, doubtfulness, and even self-harm. This lack of security leads to unsafe activities including multiple random relationships and sex, which includes a risk of sexually transmitted diseases. Self-compassion is a missing factor too. Since lifestyle is one primary element that impacts the psyche and the body, one with BP should try to modulate how one perceives oneself and others, in order to re-establish balance. The objective was to explore and understand BP through the lens of Baulism. Bauls have a penchant for selfstability and focus on humanism and kindness, while BP involves a sense of unstable self. Theoretically, it was found that there are chances for improvement regarding impulsivity and perceived vulnerability of persons with BP, if Baul practices are imbibed in one’s life. Further modules could be developed for developing practical awareness regarding the self, through Baul songs and philosophy, practice of Baul rituals and music.
