Social networking sites (SNSs) have become an indispensable part of young adults in India. The content on one's profile and that of others on social media makes social comparison easier among young adults leading to poor mental health and life dissatisfaction.
To assess the relationship between the pattern of SNS use among young adults and depression, anxiety, and social comparison.
This was a cross-sectional study among medical students done using a questionnaire consisting of pattern of SNS use and scales for social comparison, depression, and anxiety.
We collected data from 220 students (mean age 20.44 years). Impression management was associated with higher social comparison, depression, and anxiety scores. Social comparison had a significant correlation between depression and anxiety scores.
A complex association exists between duration or time spent on SNS use and psychopathology.

评估年轻人使用社交网站的模式与抑郁、焦虑及社会比较之间的关系。
这是一项针对医学生的横断面研究,采用了一份包含社交网站使用模式以及社会比较、抑郁和焦虑量表的问卷。
我们收集了220名学生的数据(平均年龄20.44岁)。印象管理与更高的社会比较、抑郁和焦虑得分相关。社会比较在抑郁和焦虑得分之间存在显著相关性。
