This research shows the effects of the social comparison orientation on social networking sites on individuals well-being (Vidani, 2015). It also shows the mediation effect of understanding social support and self-esteem in the relationship between social comparison and individual well-being (Vidani and Solanki, 2015). And it shows a negative result of social comparison orientation on individual well-being (Vidani, 2015). In their relation between social comparison orientation and individual well-being, social support has no moderator effect and also ensures social support and self-esteem have a negative serial mediator effect (Vidani, 2015). Social comparison orientation on social networking sites shows negative emotion and declines social support, self-esteem, and individual well-being. Theoretical suggestions for research must be discussed in further detail (Solanki and Vidani, 2016).
