from a developmental perspective, and self-presentation activities, investigating
the development and shaping of identity, during young adulthood. The study
model examined personal aspects of identity, mental and behavioral aspects and
gender that shape the self-esteem of young adults today, among 800 young men

provides a comprehensive theoretical model that explains the set of connections
between identity status, self-presentation, and self-disclosure on SNS, and
self-esteem among young adults. The mediation model emphasizes that for
different identity states, young people tend to certain modes of
self-presentation which explain their degree of self-esteem. This model¡¯s
contribution lies in understanding the significant role of SNS in development
and identity formation during young adulthood. Alongside the theoretical
contribution, the present study has practical implications.</span></span></span><span></span><span></span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"></span>
