People seeks to surround themselves with others because they´re social beings. The 21st century has offered people to join a new and an exciting social environment called social media. Social media has just about 4 billion active users where it provides information and&#xd;
allows people to communicate in various ways. Being exposed to social media platforms, such as Facebook and Instagram, has led people to spend at least two and a half hours on daily basis using it. Excessive use of social media has led people to have lower self-esteem while at the same time to show higher social comparison. The purpose of the current study&#xd;
was to see whether people with high social comparison that spent a lot of time using Facebook or Instagram, had lower self-esteem. The sample of the study were people who lived in Iceland, 18 years old or older (N =234). Results showed that interaction effects of high social comparison and more social media usage did not have any significant effect on&#xd;
people´s self-esteem. Other hypotheses were tested which showed significant results.&#xd;
Keywords: social beings, social media, social media usage, Facebook, Instagram,&#xd;

Fólk sækist í það að umkringja sig öðrum vegna þessa að mannfólkið eru félagsverur.&#xd;
Tuttugasta og fyrsta öldin hefur gert fólki kleift á að sameinast í nýtt félagslegt umhverfi sem kallast samfélagsmiðlar. Það eru um 4 milljónir virkra notenda á samfélagsmiðlum en þeir eru ákveðin upplýsingaveita og einnig samskiptamiðill. Fólk er farið að verja tíma sínum mikið í samfélagsmiðla hver notandi ver um það bil tveimur og hálfri klukkustund á hverjum degi í að skoða miðlana. Óhófleg notkun hefur leitt til þess að fólk hefur minna sjálfsálit, á sama tíma og þá ber það sig meira saman við aðra. Rannsókn þessi vildi skoða hvort fólk sem ber sig mikið saman við aðra og á sama tíma notar mikið samfélagsmiðla, sé með lægra&#xd;
sjálfsálit. Úrtakið var fólk sem býr á Íslandi sem er 18 ára eða eldra. Niðurstöður sýndu að samvirknihrif óhóflegrar notkunnar samfélagsmiðla og það að fólk ber sig mikið saman við aðra, höfðu ekki marktæk áhirf á sjálfsálit fólks. Hins vegar voru aðrar tilgátur sem sýndu marktækar niðurstöður.&#xd;
Lykilorð: félagsverur, samfélagsmiðlar, samfélagsmiðlanotkun, Facebook, Instagram,&#xd;
