[Air-L] Meta-analysis on effects of social comparison on social media: Request for unpublished studies

[Stephanie Tobin]

Dear colleagues,

I am currently completing a PhD at The University of Queensland under the supervision of Eric Vanman and Stephanie Tobin. We are conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis on the effects of engaging in social comparison on social media and are looking for unpublished papers that fulfill the following requirements:


  1.  Studies must report experimental, quantitative data
  2.  Independent variable: we are interested in studies that involve exposure to an upward comparison target versus a downward comparison target or control group. Passively scrolling a social media site or quitting social media for a period of time is also appropriate.
  3.  Dependent variables: must include measures of subjective well-being, self-esteem, body image, psychological well-being or envy

To ensure a comprehensive analysis, we would greatly appreciate if you could send any relevant unpublished reports and manuscripts, conference presentations, unpublished dissertations or in-press manuscripts to carly.mccomb at uq.net.au<mailto:carly.mccomb at uq.net.au>.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions.

Thank you,
Carly McComb
