The relative contributions of implicit and explicit self-esteem to narcissistic use of Facebook

作者:

Highlights:

• We investigated the relationship between narcissism and Facebook use.

• Narcissism was conceptualized as discrepant explicit and implicit self-esteem.

• We explored how these components of narcissism predict Facebook use.

• High explicit self-esteem predicted more other- than self-referent Facebook posts.

• High implicit self-esteem predicted fewer Facebook friends.
