With the proliferation of photo-editing applications on smartphones, selfie editing has become more and more popular. Despite its popularity, only a few studies have examined the predictors of this behavior. Using a young Chinese sample, this study examined whether narcissism, extraversion, body-esteem (includes BE-appearance, BE-attribution, and BE-weight) and social comparison orientation (SCO) can predict selfie-editing frequency on social networking sites (SNSs). Hierarchical regression analysis showed that narcissism, extraversion, BE-attribution and SCO were positively related to selfie-editing frequency while BE-appearance was negatively related to selfie-editing frequency.
