Abstract

The influencing process and mechanism of self-presentation on social platforms on anxiety are still unknown. In this study, based on the social comparison theory and grounded theory, 15 young people were interviewed, and the influencing factors of self-presentation in Wechat moments on young people’s anxiety were discussed through three-level coding. It is found that individual-centered factors in self-presentation on Wechat moments (the failure of self-satisfaction, the worry of self-evaluation and the loss of upward comparison) and others-centered factors (the enthusiasm of presenting content, elaborate strategy, proximity of social distance and Content’s Relevance to me) are the main causes of youth anxiety. This study is of great significance to explore the relationship between the communication of social media and individual mental health.
