Social media is widely used worldwide, and previous research has established a link between envy and social media use. However, the dynamic association between envy and problematic social media use has rarely been explored. Based on Social Comparison Theory and Innovation Adoption Framework, the study examined the relationship between envy and problematic social media use. Study 1 adopted a longitudinal design at the trait level and Study 2 utilised a 14-day daily diary at the state level to examine the associations between these variables. In Study 1, problematic social media use at T1 could predict envy at T2, while envy at T1 did not predict problematic social media use at T2. In Study 2, problematic social media use in the previous day could predict envy in the following day; the reverse is not the case. These findings enhance our comprehension of the underlying connections between envy and problematic social media use.
社交媒体在全球范围内被广泛使用，先前的研究已经确立了嫉妒与社交媒体使用之间的联系。然而，嫉妒与有问题的社交媒体使用之间的动态关联却很少被探讨。基于社会比较理论和创新采用框架，本研究考察了嫉妒与有问题的社交媒体使用之间的关系。研究1在特质水平上采用了纵向设计，研究2在状态水平上使用了为期14天的每日日记来考察这些变量之间的关联。在研究1中，T1时的有问题的社交媒体使用可以预测T2时的嫉妒，而T1时的嫉妒并不能预测T2时的有问题的社交媒体使用。在研究2中，前一天有问题的社交媒体使用可以预测第二天的嫉妒；反之则不然。这些发现增强了我们对嫉妒与有问题的社交媒体使用之间潜在联系的理解。
