@AadhiyaVasudeva causes other people to make social comparisons to our overly positive self, and then they post more positive content etc. etc. And the cycle continues. So essentially the USC are causing ppl to post more positive info to enhance their own self-concept!

[Madeline Springle @m_springle]

I'm excited to present my psychology undergraduate thesis research from the Lockwood Lab at the University of Toronto for this year's virtual Ontario Psychology Undergraduate Thesis Conference 2020. #aoputc2020

[Madeline Springle @m_springle]

@AadhiyaVasudeva Thanks Aadhiya, I appreciate it! So for our future directions, we were thinking that maybe there is a bit of a vicious feedback loop in that people make upward social comparisons on SM, which causes people to post more positive info to boost their self-concept, which in turn...

[Madeline Springle @m_springle]

@GordonHodsonPhD this may cause us to think even less about how the audience will feel, and just care about our own group promotion. This is often where people can fall into trouble on SM, by forgetting that they're talking to real ppl at the other end of the line.

[Madeline Springle @m_springle]

@GordonHodsonPhD want to promote our own group. I imagine that it is harder to perspective take at the group level on SM simply because the audience involves SO many people. It's different when we're posting to a group of audience who we (sort of) know, vs. posting with a group to a huge audience

[Madeline Springle @m_springle]

@GordonHodsonPhD That's a great approach to apply this to the group level. I would argue that there is a lot of potential for this to be expanded to the group level mindset. For example, on one level SM is about finding the different groups that one connects and identifies with. As a result, we..

[Madeline Springle @m_springle]

@AadhiyaVasudeva @EinsteinLabUofT Beautiful poster Aadhiya! I love the colour scheme! Your key findings in the pie chart/bubbles are so clear and easy to understand!

[Madeline Springle @m_springle]

@GordonHodsonPhD ... because of the self reporting aspect, and that hopefully we can find a way to measure this independently of the writer's own ratings.

[Madeline Springle @m_springle]

@GordonHodsonPhD So although my study isn't a dyad, it's a follow up to the dyad in that we conducted a very similar study but added email as a third condition, to hopefully determine that S.M. was a lot more positive than text and email. We didn't find that exactly, but we think it might be...

[Madeline Springle @m_springle]

@GordonHodsonPhD ...different questions based on whether they made any social comparisons to their friend. What the lab found was that people did tend to exaggerate more on S.M. compared to a text message, but it's possible that text messages were negative (making it look like SM was more pos)...

[Madeline Springle @m_springle]

@GordonHodsonPhD So interesting you should mention that, the previous thesis student in our lab conducted a dyad study where two friends came into the lab. One was randomly assigned to write an S.M post or text about an event, while the other read the message/post and answered....

[Madeline Springle @m_springle]

@metzpsych ... and so passive social media scrollers end up feeling MORE isolated after going on S.M.
I tend to be a passive scroller, which has made me recognize that S.M. should be avoided when I'm feeling lonely!

[Madeline Springle @m_springle]

@metzpsych Ahh, I think many people would agree with that! There's interesting research being down that looks at the difference between active vs. passive social media use. It looks active social media users (ppl who post stuff) fair better than those who just passively scroll through S.M..
