Abstract

Self-posting among many adults but people with low self-image and narcissistic tendencies more focus on self-posting activities and this thing is a leading cause of social media addiction. Objective: To explore the relationship between self-esteem, narcissistic tendencies, and self-proof behavior among young adults. Methods: 400 students (200 male and 200 female) from different universities in Karachi and Faisalabad.  The age range of the participants covered the years 12 to 30. The sample was taken using a simple random sampling technique. The following measures were used to assess the findings i.e., demographic form, selfie-posting behavior scale, Rosenberg self-esteem scale, and narcissistic personality inventory-16 scale used to assess the selfie-posting behavior among young adults. Results: Findings indicate a significant and negative relationship between self-esteem and selfie-posting behavior. Self-esteem significantly predicts selfie-posting behavior among young adults. furthermore, statistics also indicate there is no significant relationship between narcissism and selfie-posting behavior among adolescents. Narcissism is not a significant predictor of selfie-posting behavior among young adults. Conclusions: It is concluded that individuals who take more selfies have low or no self-esteem compared to those who do not take self-imaging. Additionally, those who have posted more selfies online tend to have narcissistic dispositions because they believe that other people find value in what they do.
