"Passive usage of Facebook was related to social comparison, which, in turn, was associated with lower well-being. Besides, active usage of Instagram was related to social support, which, in turn, was associated with greater satisfaction with life but also negative affect. Regarding Twitter, active usage was also related to social support, which, in turn, was associated with greater satisfaction with life; but passive usage was rather negatively associated with upward social comparison, which, in turn, was associated with more negative affect. In contrast, TikTok use was not associated with well-being"
