Exploring the relationship between adolescents' self-concept and their offline and online social worlds

作者:

Highlights:

• Teens were surveyed on their online and offline social lives and self-concept.

• Teens with high socialization in both settings have highest self-concept levels.

• Teens socializing highly online but not offline have lowest self-concept levels.

• Offline social lives moderate link between online social lives and self-concept.

• We suggest online social lives primarily benefit socially successful teens.
