Furthermore, demographics (race, gender identification, college year level, and social media affiliation) questionnaire and survey scale instrument (Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale) data collection will examine differential views of self-esteem. This study aims to identify the impact of social media on SE, among young current college students (18-26), regardless of demographic factors (race, gender identification, college year level, and social media affiliation)
