Life satisfaction and self-presentation on social media

Sociala medier är en del av många människors vardag för att dela med sig utav personliga händelser. Denna studies syfte var att undersöka om det fanns skillnader mellan grupper beroende på hur aktiva de var på sociala medier och deras livstillfredställelse samt självpresentation. Genom en webbaserad enkät mättes livstillfredsställelse och självpresentation på 101 personer mellan 18 till 48 år. Studien påvisade att det fanns en signifikant skillnad mellan de som använder Instagram frekvent och minskad ökad självpresentation. Själv-presentationen var högre bland de som besöker Instagram frekvent jämfört med de som inte besöker Instagram frekvent.Social media is a part of many people’s everyday today, especially to share personal events.
