社交网站（SNS）通过选择性曝光为情绪管理提供了机会。本研究验证了消极情绪会促进社交网络中自我增强的社会比较的预测。参与者被诱导成积极或消极的情绪，然后浏览实验性社交网络上被操纵的个人资料。在2 × 2的受试者内部设计中，个人资料沿着两个维度变化，即职业成功和吸引力的评级，允许向上比较（高评级）和向下比较（低评级）。选择性暴露是用观看档案的秒数来衡量的。与积极情绪相比，消极情绪导致向上比较较少，而向下比较较多。比较维度不影响选择性暴露。因此，在消极情绪下，社交网络用户更喜欢自我增强的社会比较来管理自己的情绪。(C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
Social networking sites (SNS) provide opportunities for mood management through selective exposure. This study tested the prediction that negative mood fosters self-enhancing social comparisons to SNS profiles. Participants were induced into positive or negative moods and then browsed manipulated profiles on an experimental SNS. Profiles varied in a 2 x 2 within-subjects design along two dimensions, ratings of career success and attractiveness, allowing for upward comparisons (high ratings) and downward comparisons (low ratings). Selective exposure was measured in seconds spent viewing profiles. Negative mood led to less exposure to upward comparisons and more to downward comparisons than positive mood. The comparison dimension did not influence selective exposure. Thus, in a negative mood, SNS users prefer self-enhancing social comparisons to manage their mood. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.
