Heavy social media use and posting regret are associated with lower self-esteem among middle and high school students
Objective Social media use has become ubiquitous among schoolchildren. This study examined the association of social media use and posting regret with self-esteem among middle and high school students, and tested whether school type (i.e., middle vs. high school) could moderate these associations. Methods Data on 6944 schoolchildren (mean age: 15.2 ± 1.8 years) were derived from the 2019 cycle of the Ontario Student Drug Use and Health Survey, a biennial repeated cross-sectional survey of students in grades 7 through 12 across Ontario, Canada. Students self-reported time spent using social media, regret of posting on social media, and their self-esteem. Ordinal logistic regression analyses were adjusted for age, sex, subjective socioeconomic status, ethnoracial background, and body mass index z-score. Results The proportional odds model showed that middle (OR: 2.36; 95% CI: 1.65–3.36) and high school (OR: 1.72; 95% CI: 1.44–2.06) students with daily social media use of 5 h or more have higher odds of lower self-esteem across the categories of self-esteem. However, daily use of 3 to 4 h was associated with lower self-esteem among middle school students (OR: 1.52; 95% CI: 1.14–2.04), but not among their high school counterparts (OR: 1.13; 95% CI: 0.94–1.35). Posting regret was associated with lower self-esteem in high school students, but not in middle school students. Conclusion Results suggest that heavy social media use and posting regret are associated with lower self-esteem among adolescents, and that younger students could be more vulnerable than their older counterparts..
