Abstract

Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati povezanost izmeĎu socijalne komparacije na Instagramu i samopoimanja mladih. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 200 učenika prvih i drugih razreda srednjih škola Gimnazije Karlovac i Ekonomsko-turističke škole Karlovac. Podaci su prikupljeni korištenjem web ankete kojom su se ispitivale aktivnosti na Instagramu i samopoimanje mladih. Rezultati su pokazali da postoji statistički značajna negativna korelacija izmeĎu socijalne komparacije sposobnosti i fizičkog samopoimanja mladih, te izmeĎu socijalne komparacije sposobnosti i generalnog samopoimanja mladih. Iako su za većinu mladih društvene mreže pozitivno iskustvo, iz dobivenih rezultata možemo vidjeti da ipak postoji opasnost od negativnog iskustva. UsporeĎivanje s drugima na društvenim mrežama može pojačati nesigurnost osobe i nezadovoljstvo sobom. Iz tog razloga, važno je djelovati u području podizanja svijesti o negativnom utjecaju društvenih mreža, ali i organiziranja edukativnih programa.

Abstract (english)

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between social comparison on Instagram and self-concept of the youth. The research included 200 participants from the first and second grades of high schools Gimnazija Karlovac and Ekonomsko-turistička škola Karlovac. It was conducted by using a web questionnaire which examined activities on Instagram and self-concept of the participants. The results of the questionnaire showed a significant negative correlation between social comparison of ability and self-concept of physical looks, and between social comparison of ability and self-esteem. While the majority of teenagers might experience social-networking as enjoyable, the results of this study indicate that they can have a negative effect on the self-concept of the youth. The social comparison on social media can result in the feeling of insecurity and dissatisfaction with ourselves. For this reason, it is important to raise awareness about the negative side effect of social media use and also to build an educational program to prevent it.
