This study aimed to present a causal model of digital narcissism among social media users based on physical self-esteem, social competence, and social identity. The research employed a correlational method using structural equation modeling (SEM). The statistical population included all high school students in Maragheh City in 2024, totaling 4500 individuals. The sample size was determined to be 381 participants based on Morgan's table. Participants were selected using a multistage cluster sampling method. Data collection instruments included the Digital Narcissism Questionnaire (ONPI), the Physical Self-Esteem Scale (CPSES), the Social Identity Questionnaire (SIQ), and the Social Competence Questionnaire (SCQ). Data analysis was conducted using Pearson correlation, bootstrap methods, and the Sobel test in SPSS and AMOS software version 26. The findings revealed that physical self-esteem and social identity, with the mediating role of social competence, significantly contributed to the explanation of digital narcissism in the proposed model. Altogether, the variables in the model explained 50% of the variance in users' digital narcissism. The direct effects of social identity (-0.33), social competence (-0.26), and physical self-esteem (-0.43) on digital narcissism were significant. Additionally, the indirect effects of physical self-esteem (t-value = -2.01) and social identity (t-value = -2.36) through social competence were also statistically significant. Given the findings, it can be concluded that physical self-esteem, social identity, and social competence have a substantial impact on digital narcissism among users. These factors should be considered in addressing the challenges of digital narcissism and enhancing the quality of online social interactions.

Introduction :This study aimed at investigating the relationship between social procrastination, social identity, and students’ academic performance. Method: The design was correlational and the sample consisted of 200 students of Payam Noor University, Bukan center. Sampling was based on available sampling and three questionnaires including Social Procrastination, Social Identity, and Academic Achievement were employed to collect the data. Pearson correlation and multiple regression analyses were used to analyze the data. Results: The results showed a significant negative correlation between Social Identity and Social Procrastination. Both the individual and collective identities showed a significant negative correlation with Social Procrastination. Indifference, as one of the components of Social Procrastination, had a significant negative correlation with academic performance, but there was no significant relationship between attention to self, as another aspect of Social Procrastination, and academic achievement. Furthermore, Social Identity had a significant positive correlation with academic performance. Among the other aspects, the individual and collective identity had a significant positive correlation with academic performance. Conclusions: According to the results, it can be claimed that Social Procrastination has a negative relationship with academic performance and social identity, while social identity has a significant positive correlation with academic performance.
