Perfectionist Self-Presentation and Social Media Motives As Mediators of Narcissism and Problematic Social Media Use

Poster Session IV

Keyword: Narcissism

Abstract: We examined how perfectionistic self-presentation and social media motives mediated narcissism (grandiose, vulnerable) and problematic social media use. Although narcissism predicted perfectionistic self-presentation, only FOMO and hurt/punish motives mediated VN and problematic social media use, whereas praise/popularity and hurt/punish motives mediated GN and problematic social media use.
