Ninth- through twelfth-grade students from an all-female, Catholic, high school (N = 180; Mage = 15.86, SD = 1.22) completed questionnaires measuring their narcissism, perceived appearance-based social pressure from peers, online photographic impression management strategies, social and psychological wellbeing, and social desirability. Results revealed that greater appearance-based social pressure, but not higher levels of narcissism, was associated with more online photo impression management strategies (OPIMS). Further, more OPIMS was negatively associated with both psychological and social wellbeing. However, the relationships between OPIMS with psychological and social wellbeing were not moderated by appearance-based social pressure nor narcissism. Future research should examine female adolescents’ online self-presentations, and the implications for by psychological and social wellbeing, by monitoring or coding the adolescents’ actual photographs on SNSs. Such research has practical implications for the development of social media literacy programs, which could promote healthy SNS use among teenage girls. 2019 English text Xavier University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=xavier1554114196609514 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=xavier1554114196609514 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
