“…As Table shows, most of the reviewed articles ( n = 16) did not use a theoretical foundation for explaining the relation between SNS use and users' well‐being. Exceptions were articles that applied self‐esteem theory (Apaolaza et al, ; Valkenburg et al, ), social change and human development theory (Manago & Greenfield, 2012), belongingness theory (Grieve et al, ) or theory of stress (Nabi et al, ).…”

“…Apaolaza et al () collected data using a self‐administered questionnaire in three Spanish education centers to investigate the influence of a Spanish SNS, Tuenti, on the psychological well‐being of Spanish adolescents. Their study showed that the frequency of SNS use (i.e., socializing on Tuenti) was positively related to perceived self‐esteem, which in turn had a positive influence on teenagers' perceptions of greater psychological well‐being.…”

“…Their study showed that the frequency of SNS use (i.e., socializing on Tuenti) was positively related to perceived self‐esteem, which in turn had a positive influence on teenagers' perceptions of greater psychological well‐being. Apaolaza et al () noted a positive relationship between SNSs use and users' psychological well‐being, and that this relationship was mediated by intervening factors of self‐esteem. Valkenburg et al () found that the frequency of use of SNSs for communication purposes was correlated with developing interpersonal relationships and receiving positive feedback, which increased adolescents' social self‐esteem and led to higher perceived life satisfaction.…”

As Social Network Sites (SNSs) are increasingly becoming part of people's everyday lives, the implications of their use need to be investigated and understood. We conducted a systematic literature review to lay the groundwork for understanding the relationship between SNS use and users' psychological well-being and for devising strategies for taking advantage of this relationship. The review included articles published between 2003 and 2016, extracted from major academic databases. Findings revealed that the use of SNSs is both positively and negatively related to users' psychological well-being. We discuss the factors that moderate this relationship and their implications on users' psychological well-being. Many of the studies we reviewed lacked a sound theoretical justification for their findings and most involved young and healthy students, leaving other cohorts of SNS users neglected. The paper concludes with the presentation of a platform for future investigation.

“…Several cross‐sectional studies have revealed a positive relationship between subjective well‐being and overall usage of Facebook (Valenzuela, Park, & Kee, ), Instagram (Pittman & Reich, ), and Tuenti, which is a Spanish social network site (Apaolaza, Hartmann, Medina, Barrutia, & Echebarria, ). However, a number of other cross‐sectional studies show an opposite pattern of results (Farahani, Kazemi, Aghamohamadi, Bakhtiarvand, & Ansari, ; Labrague, ; Lin et al., ; Pantic et al., ; Sampasa‐kanyinga & Lewis, ).…”

Social network sites are ubiquitous and now constitute a common tool people use to interact with one another in daily life. Here we review the consequences of interacting with social network sites for subjective well‐being—that is, how people feel moment‐to‐moment and how satisfied they are with their lives. We begin by clarifying the constructs that we focus on in this review: social network sites and subjective well‐being. Next, we review the literature that explains how these constructs are related. This research reveals: (a) negative relationships between passively using social network sites and subjective well‐being, and (b) positive relationships between actively using social network sites and subjective well‐being, with the former relationship being more robust than the latter. Specifically, passively using social network sites provokes social comparisons and envy, which have negative downstream consequences for subjective well‐being. In contrast, when active usage of social network sites predicts subjective well‐being, it seems to do so by creating social capital and stimulating feelings of social connectedness. We conclude by discussing the policy implications of this work.

“…Recent research has proposed many factors affecting SWB (Subjective Well-Being) and empirically examined them, such as socializing, self-esteem, loneliness, selfdisclosure, social integration, social bonding, social bridging [1,2]. However, little research has studied SWB in the SNS (Social Network Sites) in the viewpoint of social support.…”

Exploring subjective well-being in social network sites? - Supplementary fit and social support perspective

Abstract. This study formed a framework theorized on supplementary fit and social support to explore users' perceptions of Subject Well-Being in Social Network Sites. Online surveys were conducted in Facebook and Google+. Empirical results showed that value-based fit and personal-based fit promoted the obtaining of emotional and informational support but not instrumental support, and emotional and informational support had significant impacts on life satisfaction and happiness while instrumental support had no significant impacts on life satisfaction and happiness. Our model pinpointed novel ideas to present how individuals obtain social supports through Social Network Sites and how these social supports influence happiness and life satisfaction.
