Bu çalışmanın amacı Z kuşağının, sosyal karşılaştırma eğiliminin sosyal ağlardaki gösterişçi tüketimi üzerindeki etkisinde kendini tanıtma arzusunun aracı rolü olup olmadığını araştırmaktır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda Sakarya ve İstanbul’da ikamet eden 1994 ve sonrası yıllarda doğan ve Instagram kullanan 271 kişiye yüz yüze ve çevrimiçi anket uygulanmıştır. Veri analizinde SPSS 25.0 ve AMOS 23.0 paket programları kullanılmıştır. Araştırma bulguları Z kuşağında sosyal karşılaştırma eğiliminin sosyal ağlardaki gösteriş tüketimi üzerinde etkisinde kendini tanıtma arzusunun aracılık rolü olduğu sonucunu desteklemektedir. Böylece Z kuşağının sosyal ağlarda sosyal gösteriş tüketimi eğiliminin, sosyal karşılaştırma eğilimi ve kendini tanıtma arzusu tarafından motive edildiği önermesi desteklenmiş olmaktadır.
