虽然Facebook的创建是为了帮助人们感受到彼此之间的联系，但数据表明，经常使用Facebook对幸福感既有负面影响，也有积极影响。为了探究这些混杂的结果，我们测试了社会比较和自我物化作为Facebook使用与心理健康三个方面（自尊、心理健康和身体羞耻）之间联系的可能中介的作用。参与者是1104名大学生男女，他们完成了对Facebook使用情况（分钟数、被动使用和主动使用）、社会比较、自我物化和幸福感的调查。数据分析使用结构方程模型，分别测试女性和男性的模型。每种性别的模型都能很好地拟合数据。对于女性和男性来说，Facebook的使用与更大的社会比较和更大的自我物化有关，而这反过来又与更低的自尊、更差的心理健康和更大的身体羞耻感有关。中介模型提供了更好的拟合数据比模型测试直接途径到中介和福祉变量。讨论了对年轻人使用社交媒体的影响，并提出了未来的发展方向。
Although Facebook was created to help people feel connected with each other, data indicate that regular usage has both negative and positive connections to well-being. To explore these mixed results, we tested the role of social comparison and self-objectification as possible mediators of the link between Facebook use and three facets of psychological well-being: self-esteem, mental health, and body shame. Participants were 1,104 undergraduate women and men who completed surveys assessing their Facebook usage (minutes, passive use, and active use), social comparison, self-objectification, and well-being. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling, testing separate models for women and men. Models for each gender fit the data well. For women and men, Facebook use was associated with greater social comparison and greater self-objectification, which, in turn, was each related to lower self-esteem, poorer mental health, and greater body shame. Mediated models provided better fits to the data than models testing direct pathways to the mediators and well-being variables. Implications are discussed for young people's social media use, and future directions are provided.
