Purpose

The association between social media and jealousy is an aspect of the dark side of social media that has garnered significant attention in the past decade. However, the understanding of this association is fragmented and needs to be assimilated to provide scholars with an overview of the current boundaries of knowledge in this area. This systematic literature review (SLR) aims to fulfill this need.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors undertake an SLR to assimilate the current knowledge regarding the association between social media and jealousy, and they examine the phenomenon of social media-induced jealousy (SoMJ). Forty-five empirical studies are curated and analyzed using stringent protocols to elucidate the existing research profile and thematic research areas.

Findings

The research themes emerging from the SLR are (1) the need for a theoretical and methodological grounding of the concept, (2) the sociodemographic differences in SoMJ experiences, (3) the antecedents of SoMJ (individual, partner, rival and platform affordances) and (4) the positive and negative consequences of SoMJ. Conceptual and methodological improvements are needed to undertake a temporal and cross-cultural investigation of factors that may affect SoMJ and acceptable thresholds for social media behavior across different user cohorts. This study also identifies the need to expand current research boundaries by developing new methodologies and focusing on under-investigated variables.

Originality/value

The study may assist in the development of practical measures to raise awareness about the adverse consequences of SoMJ, such as intimate partner violence and cyberstalking.

因社交媒体而嫉妒？社交媒体引起的嫉妒的系统文献综述和框架

目的

社交媒体与嫉妒之间的联系是社交媒体阴暗面的一个方面，在过去十年中引起了极大的关注。然而，对这种关联的理解是支离破碎的，需要被同化，以便为学者提供该领域当前知识边界的概览。本系统文献综述 (SLR) 旨在满足这一需求。

设计/方法/方法

作者进行 SLR 以吸收有关社交媒体与嫉妒之间关联的当前知识，并研究社交媒体引起的嫉妒 (SoMJ) 现象。使用严格的协议来策划和分析 45 项实证研究，以阐明现有的研究概况和主题研究领域。

发现

SLR 的研究主题是 (1) 对概念的理论和方法论基础的需求，(2) SoMJ 体验中的社会人口统计学差异，(3) SoMJ 的前因（个人、合作伙伴、竞争对手和平台可供性） (4) SoMJ 的正面和负面后果。需要对概念和方法进行改进，以对可能影响 SoMJ 的因素和不同用户群体的社交媒体行为的可接受阈值进行时间和跨文化调查。本研究还确定了通过开发新方法和关注未充分研究的变量来扩大当前研究边界的必要性。

原创性/价值

该研究可能有助于制定切实可行的措施，以提高对 SoMJ 不利后果的认识，例如亲密伴侣暴力和网络跟踪。
