Social media has had a tremendous impact on our culture and the world-at-large. Social media websites have revolutionized the ways in which people communicate and socialize, and it is important to better understand the ways in which this virtual social phenomenon is having an impact on how we think and feel about others and ourselves. The purpose of this study was to investigate young adult females' experiences of social media use in order to explore the effects of comparing themselves to others as they integrate and respond to the online identities of others. This study examined the ways in which one is impacted by social media participation and exposure to media images, which in turn, has the potential to affect the individual's evaluation of self. This was a qualitative, phenomenological study. Eight young adult females, ranging in age from 24-30 years, participated in semi-structured interviews exploring the self-evaluative effects of social comparison in the context of social media use (e.g., Instagram and Facebook). Several key themes emerged and were explored including participants' descriptions of their selection and manipulation of content posts, their presentations of an idealized self, their process of engaging in impression management, the comparison between their real and online selves, their varying experiences when viewing profiles of unknown and known others, their affective responses when viewing, and to what degree online social comparison can affect the view of self. Finally, limitations of this study and implications for future research are discussed.
