Abstract

Students of the 21st century face more stresses and pressures than previous generations. Gen Z students are born to a highly globalized, technologically-driven, and social media dependent world. This has led to increased rates of mental health issues and negative impacts to self-esteem. This study uses a literature review to identify patterns and trends that emerge from social comparison processes. By understanding how social comparisons impact students’ self-evaluation and overall well-being, policymakers, educators, and schools can be in a better position to introduce new strategies and procedures that seek to support the psychological well-being of their students.
