Overview

This observational study uncovers how self-esteem and pro-social relations influence upward comparison and contrast emotions in social network users.

Key Points

  • Contrast emotions are more negatively experienced in estranged relationships compared to close ones.
  • Self-esteem significantly impacts the experience of both contrast emotions and upward comparisons.
  • The study involved 200 Instagram users in their 20s and 30s to analyze their emotional experiences.
  • The interaction effect between pro-social relations and self-esteem was found to be insignificant.
