Social networks allow young people to compare themselves with both similar and different individuals. The results of previous research show that individuals who are more inclined to engage in social comparison tend to spend more time on social networks, and they also exhibit lower levels of self-esteem. The use of social networks is closely linked to individual self-esteem, and depending on how individuals use social networks, this association can be either positive or negative. Given the above, the objective of this research was to investigate the correlation between students' frequency of social network usage, self-esteem, and inclination for social comparison. The study included 259 participants, 183 females and 76 males aged from 18 to 29 years. The participants completed a socio-demographic questionnaire that included questions about gender, age, year and place of study, average number of hours spent on social networks daily, and questions about other aspects of social network usage. They also completed the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (Mirjanić i Milas, 2011) and the Social Comparison Orientation Scale (Ćubela Adorić, 2004). The analysis of the results revealed that there are no statistically significant differences in the frequency of social network usage, selfesteem, and the inclination for social comparison between male and female students. Statistically significant negative correlations were found between self-esteem and the inclination for social comparison. Additionally, there were no statistically significant correlations between the frequency of social network usage and self-esteem. There were also no statistically significant correlations between the frequency of social network usage and the inclination for social comparison.
