Abstract [sv]

Sociala medier har blivit en integrerad del av människors liv under det senaste årtiondet, och användare jämför sig ständigt med innehållet de ser. Forskningen pekar på att sociala medieprofiler, med sina anpassningsbara funktioner och feedback-möjligheter, intensifierar social jämförelse och kan ha negativa följder på användares välmående. För att skapa förståelse över hur hälsosam social jämförelse kan stöttas valde vi en kvalitativ forskningsansats, där vi genom fokusgruppintervjuer har tolkat användares utsagor. Studien utgår från användarens perspektiv eftersom det är användarens förmåga att jämföra sig som är i fokus. I slutsatsen presenterar vi sex angreppssätt för hur sociala medieprofiler kan stötta en hälsosam social jämförelse.

Abstract [en]

Social media has become an integral part of people's lives in the past decade, with users constantly comparing themselves to the content they see. Research indicates that social media profiles, with their customizable features and feedback capabilities, intensify social comparison and can have negative effects on users' well-being. To gain insight into how a healthy social comparison can be supported, we employed a qualitative research approach, interpreting users' statements through focus group interviews. The study focuses on the user's perspective since it is the user's ability to compare themselves that is the central focus. In the conclusion, we present six ways of approaches on how social media profiles can support a healthy social comparison.
