两项研究调查了在Facebook上通过计算机中介的互动与同龄人进行社交比较可能会如何影响用户的心理健康。研究1(N=180)揭示了花在Facebook上的时间与男女抑郁症状之间的关联。然而，结果表明，在Facebook上进行社交比较只对男性来说，在Facebook上花费的时间与抑郁症状之间的联系起到了中介作用。使用14天的日记设计(N=152)，研究2发现，在Facebook上花费的时间与抑郁症状之间的关系唯一地通过向上、非定向和向下的Facebook社交比较来调节。同样，所有三种类型的Facebook社交比较都在Facebook登录次数和抑郁症状之间的关系中起到了中介作用。与研究1不同的是，性别并没有缓和这些联系。这两项研究都提供了证据，表明人们在Facebook上花了大量时间后会感到抑郁，因为他们在与他人比较时会感觉很糟糕。
Two studies investigated how social comparison to peers through computer-mediated interactions on Facebook might impact users' psychological health. Study 1 (N = 180) revealed an association between time spent on Facebook and depressive symptoms for both genders. However, results demonstrated that making Facebook social comparisons mediated the link between time spent on Facebook and depressive symptoms for men only. Using a 14-day diary design (N = 152), Study 2 found that the relationship between the amount of time spent on Facebook and depressive symptoms was uniquely mediated by upward, nondirectional, and downward Facebook social comparisons. Similarly, all three types of Facebook social comparisons mediated the relationship between the-number of Facebook logins and depressive symptoms. Unlike Study 1, gender did not moderate these associations. Both studies provide evidence that people feel depressed after spending a great deal of time on Facebook because they feel badly when comparing themselves to others.
