Social media were designed to connect people and support interpersonal relationships. However, whether social media use is linked to the connection between the self and others is unknown. The present research reviewed findings across psychology to address whether social media use is linked to defining and expressing the self as connected to others (i.e., interdependence) versus separate from others (i.e., independence) and whether this link appears in both individualistic and collectivistic cultures. Eligible studies reported an association between social media use (e.g., time spent, frequency of use) and a characteristic supportive of independence (e.g., narcissism, envy, self-enhancement). Meta-analytic results of 133 effect sizes across the reviewed studies show that social media use is linked to independence rather than interdependence. This relationship was more pronounced in collectivistic cultures than in individualistic cultures. These findings suggest that characteristics linked to social media use differ from what one might expect based on the design of social media to connect people.

偏离设计：对社交媒体使用与自我与他人之间联系减少之间联系的元分析回顾。

社交媒体旨在连接人们并支持人际关系。然而，社交媒体的使用是否与自我和他人之间的联系有关尚不清楚。本研究回顾了整个心理学的研究结果，以解决社交媒体的使用是否与定义和表达自我有关，即与他人联系（即相互依赖）还是与他人分离（即独立），以及这种联系是否出现在个人主义和集体主义文化中。符合条件的研究报告了社交媒体使用（例如，花费的时间、使用频率）与支持独立的特征（例如，自恋、嫉妒、自我增强）之间的关联。所审查研究中 133 项效应大小的荟萃分析结果表明，社交媒体的使用与独立性而非相互依赖相关。这种关系在集体主义文化中比在个人主义文化中更为明显。这些发现表明，与社交媒体使用相关的特征与人们根据社交媒体连接人们的设计所预期的不同。
