Materials and Procedure The researchers asked for participants around Florida International University to participant in the study. The participants in each study were asked for verbal consent to participate in the study. Once the individual agreed to be a part of the study they were presented with the risks and benefits of the study. The materials that were used for this social comparison study was a three-page hand copy of survey questions and a pencil. The participants were randomly assigned either one of the three Facebook pages with upward, downward or average SOCIAL COMPARISON, WARNING ON SOCIAL MEDIA social comparison. The upward Facebook profile displayed a post from Pat Masters suggesting that they did really well on a job interview. The downward group contained a post which suggested that the Facebook user did poorly on the job interview. The average condition displayed a post about average performance on the interview, which falls in between the upward and downward conditions. There were five parts to this study. In part one of the study, participants saw a fake Facebook posts from a person named Pat Masters. Random assignment was used to assign participants into three different groups upward, downward, and average social comparisons of the Facebook profile. Parts two and three asked participants to rate their impressions of the themselves after viewing these Facebook pages using a Likert type rating scale ranging from 1-6 with one being "strongly disagree" and six being "strongly agree". The main dependent variables examined in this study were their impressions of themselves after viewing the Facebook, "I feel inferior to others at this moment" and "I feel confident about my abilities". Partfour asked participants six questions about their demographics. Lastly, the participants were debriefed from the study and thanked for participating Study One Results A one-way ANOVA test was done to look at relationship between independent variable upward vs downward vs average and the ratings of "I feel inferior to others as our dependent variable, which was significant, F (2,176)-10.89, p<.001. A Tukey post hoc test showed that participants felt more inferior in the upward condition (M-3.95 SD-1.07) compared to the downward condition (M-3.07, SD-989) but not the average condition (M-3.53, SD - 1.03). The participants felt less inferice in the downward condition than the participants in the average condition
