Abstract

The study investigates the relationship between the usage of social media platforms (Instagram, Twitter and Facebook) and narcissism. Results indicate that the number of followers/friends on social media are associated with narcissism, whereas the intensity of using social media platforms can successfully predict self-esteem level, but not narcissism.
