Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research suggests that individuals with low self-esteem are more likely to engage in high levels of self-disclosure, particularly in online settings like social media. However, this self-disclosure may be overly negative and lead to negative reactions from others, ultimately reinforcing the individual's low self-esteem. Therefore, it is likely that Betty's self-disclosure on Facebook will be too high in negativity and lead to undesired reactions. It is unlikely that Betty will form a lot of new meaningful friendships without addressing her low self-esteem first.
