作者：
Highlights：
• Low self-esteem was predicted by high levels of social media use.
• Low self-esteem was predicted by online upward social comparisons.
• High self-esteem was not predicted by connecting patterns of use.
• Patterns of social media use could be classified into meaningful classes.
• Membership to these classes was predicted by levels of self-esteem.
