Influence of Social Networks on self-esteem and Mental Health of Young People

Samopoštovanje je procjena vlastitog samopouzdanja u tri dimenzije: fizički izgled, romantična atraktivnost te sposobnost formiranja i održavanja bliskih prijateljstava. To je način na koji ljudi percipiraju vlastitu vrijednost i misle da su vrijedni drugima. Društvene mreže su medij na kojem imamo priliku oblikovati sliku o sebi stvaranjem jedinstvenih profila kako bismo prikazali željenu sliku o sebi. Pojedinci komuniciraju i angažiraju se u živote drugih ljudi pomoću slika koje su stvorili o njima, otkrivanjem osobnih detalja i stvaranja uvida u živote drugih. Upotreba društvenih mreža ima negativne i pozitivne učinke. Osobnost i razina samopoštovanja su utjecajni čimbenici komunikacije pojedinca s drugim ljudima.Self-esteem is an evaluation of a person’s own self-worth; comprising three-dimension: physical appearance, romantic attractiveness, and the ability to form and maintain close friendships.
