2 The research study I chose is “A Social Identity Perspective of Social Medias Impact on Satisfaction of Life”. The research study is about the influences that social media can have on individuals in a psychological aspect and the impact social media has on the inviduals satisfaction with life (SwL). The study researched specific disadvantages due to the increasing dependency on social media which is becoming a social media addiction and the overall impact these disadvantages have on an individual’s satisfaction with life. (Dutot, 2020). This studies research question is – “do social media addiction, FoMO and narcissism influence an individual's satisfaction with life?” (Dutot, 2020). The researchers are trying to answer the studies research question mentioned above. The researchers are trying to achieve an understanding of the impacts of social media on individuals by researching the specific impacts of social media on individuals like social media addiction, fear of missing out, narcissism, narcissism on satisfaction with life and what role self-esteems plays in the relations of those impacts (Dutot, 2020). The purpose of this study is to find out if social media, or social media addiction, fear of missing out (FOMO) and narcissism really do influence an individual’s satisfaction of life. Another purpose of this research study is that it contributes to the field of research by looking more deeply into the factors that impact an individual’s satisfaction with life (Dutot, 2020). A link of this study was shared online to 265 people and 260 people participated. The study was made of both men and women of various ages, demographics of the respondents were skewed lightly as more males participated verse females that participated (Dutot, 2020). There was 136 male respondents and 124 female respondents, the ages of respondents were between 19-50 years old. Most of the respondents were primarily between 26 and 35 years old (43.1%), followed by 36–49 years old (30.8%), and 19–25 years old (18.4%) (Dutot, 2020).

3 As I stated above the research question in this study is “do social media addiction, FoMO and narcissism influence an individual's satisfaction with life?” (Dutot, 2020). More research questions also were formed around the topics of collective self-esteem, individual self-esteem, addiction, and narcissism (Dutot, 2020). The research methods used were an empirical study and an online survey method. The survey was used to measure the network of relations. They used these methods because a survey is currently accepted and considered an important tool in research, these research methods are much faster, cost-effective, and straightforward and lastly the period of collection can be reduced, and instructions can be added if necessary (Dutot, 2020). The researchers tested their hypotheses by using SmartPLS 3.0 (Dutot, 2020). According to the text “using the direction, strength and level of significance of the path coefficient ( β 's), the test of the research model shows that 7 of 10 hypotheses are accepted...” (Dutot, 2020). The research model explains a significant part of SwL aka satisfaction with life, ( R 2 : 38.1%), supporting the model and hypotheses (Dutot, 2020). Researchers conducted a pretest of the survey, they administered the study to ten randomly selected social media professionals, after correcting spelling and other errors they launched the actual survey to test the hypotheses. They collected the data using a “renowned” research tool called Sphinx-Campus, which again, effectively allowed researchers to save time and money (Dutot, 2020). Data was collected over a period of five weeks and collected from participants using different social media platforms (Dutot, 2020). “The results of a quantitative survey (n = 260) show the salient impact of these aspects on self‐esteem as well as the preponderant role of collective self‐esteem in SwL” (Dutot, 2020). When it came to the inhibitors of self-esteem, the results were consistent with the researcher’s expectations and first hypothesis, the findings also confirmed the negative role of FoMo (Fear Of
