• Explaining Females’ Envy Toward Social Media Influencers (2018, background): “For example, studies have reported a positive association between Facebook use and envy (Chou & Edge, 2012) and also shown that envy mediates the relationship between social media use and life satisfaction or depression (Krasnova et al., 2013; Tandoc et al., 2015; Verduyn et al., 2015).”
• Passive social networking site use and well-being: The mediating roles of social comparison and the fear of missing out (2019, result): “Although this pathway has been suggested by other researchers (Verduyn et al., 2017), few studies have explicitly tested it (see Tandoc et al., 2015, Verduyn et al., 2015, for exceptions).”
• Passive and Active Social Media Use and Depressive Symptoms Among United States Adults (2018, positive): “Two previous studies suggested that increased Facebook passive use was associated with higher depression risk (envy mediated the association in one of them) 17,36 ; a third found that active use was negatively associated with depression, but only among women with neurotic personality traits.”
• Mother, baby and Facebook makes three: does social media provide social support for new mothers? (2018, background): “Yet another study found that ‘Facebook depression’ is moderated by Facebook envy (Tandoc et al., 2015).”

• Passive social network site use and subjective well-being among Chinese university students: A moderated mediation model of envy and gender (2017, background): “Recent research indicates that passive SNS usemight undermine subjective well-being, but active use might not (Chen, Fan, Liu, Zhou, & Xie, 2016; Tandoc et al., 2015; Verduyn et al., 2015).”
• Social Media Use and Perceived Social Isolation Among Young Adults in the U.S (2017, background): “The focus on young adults was appropriate because of the particular increase in SMU in this population.14 Additionally, PSI often begins during emerging adulthood, when people leave structured environments such as school or home of origin.20 Because of the seeming strength of SMU to provide social s”
