Abstract

Razvoj tehnologija donio je sa sobom nove oblike komunikacije. Mladi sve više i više vremena provode na Internetu, uređujući svoje Facebook i Instagram profile, listajući kroz newsfeed i profile drugih korisnika društvenih mreža. Znanstvenici se pitaju kako ovakva ponašanja na društvenim mrežama utječu na dobrobit mladih. U ovom radu fokus ćemo staviti konkretno na njihov utjecaj na samopoštovanje. Prema nekim autorima pregledavanje vlastitog profila na društvenim mrežama povećava samopoštovanje, dok drugi tvrde da su društvene mreže izvor materijala za socijalnu komparaciju korisnika, što će posljedično dovesti do nižeg samopoštovanja. Ovo je osobito slučaj kod mladih s obzirom da su još u procesu osobnog razvoja.

Abstract (english)

Emerging technology development brought with itself new forms of communication. The youth is spending huge amount of time on Internet editting their Facebook and Instagram profiles, scrolling down the newsfeed and profiles of their online friends. What many scholars want to explore is how that behavior affects youth's well-being. In this paper we will focus on its impact on the self-esteem. Some authors argue that viewing one's social media profile will enhance their self-esteem, while others claim that social networking sites are big platforms for social comparison, which will lead to lower self-esteem. This is especially case considering young people since they are still going trought the process of self-development.
