Many of us make upward social comparisons on social media — comparing ourselves to others who we believe are faring better than we are. We might think, “She’s prettier than I am,” “Her job seems more glamorous than mine,” or “He drives a nicer car than me.” Our research team was interested in identifying individuals who frequently make upward social comparisons and determining which online behaviors and psychological characteristics are most predictive of these individuals. In this study, we explain key factors related to high upward social comparisons: those with low quality of life, low perceived social support, high in fear of missing out, high levels of social media addiction, frequent censorship to avoid judgment, and feelings of safety while using social media. If you are interested in social-media use and mental health, I encourage you to give it a read!
