Purpose: The purpose of the article is to attempt to identify the relation between social media activity and self-esteem. Design/methodology/approach: To achieve the purpose of the article, the study was carried out in the form of an online survey technique supported by an online questionnaire, created in the Microsoft Forms environment, on a sample of 300 individuals who possessed the characteristics of representatives of society 5.0. Findings: The conducted study indicated that there is a significant negative correlation of low strength between self-esteem measured by the RSES scale and activity on the Instagram app. In addition, we found that self-esteem depends on gender (men have significantly higher levels of self-esteem than women), while activity on the Instagram app depends on gender (women spend significantly more time on the Instagram app than men) and age. Research limitations/implications: The limitations of the survey conducted are the nonrandom sampling of individuals and the size of the study sample, which make it impossible to relate the results to the general population as a whole. In addition, the study was conducted taking into account only one social network, which was Instagram. This type of study makes it impossible to relate the results to the general population of various sites, or even social media. Future research should focus on taking into account the differences in activity between the available social networks, and should also take into account other determinants that may affect it in some direct or indirect way. Practical implications: The study conducted can be useful for brands communicating with users and promoting their products via social media. Companies can pay attention to the differences in the use of Instagram by young users and, based on this knowledge, create and then publish advertising content on the said platform. Social implications: The results of the study can make social media users - both viewers and creators - aware that showing an ideal life on the Instagram platform, can decrease the selfesteem of the recipients of these messages. Having this kind of information, it is worth considering whether online activity significantly alters behavior and lowers well-being, and whether the actions of creators are carried out in a sustainable manner. Originality/value: While most of the studies covering the topic covered focus on the Facebook platform or social media in general, this article focuses on the Instagram platform.

A seafarer’s personality is based on three distinct stages in the psychological development of his/her marine self-concept, including self-esteem, i.e., before his/her maritime studies, during maritime studies, and at the time of professional practice on board. In order to be able to work safely on board, a seafarer should be a leader with the necessary marine self-concept, the formation of which is a didactic mission of the MET institutions. The psychological internalization of the marine self-concept of future seafarers, as a value, is analyzed in the pilot study on a cognitive, emotional, and behavioral level with regard to the stages mentioned. Before studying seafaring young people perceive the sea in the direction of recreation and spiritual knowledge. The self-esteem of those who do not raise questions of self-knowledge is not strong. During their studies, maritime students seek professional meaning for themselves in respect of the sea. Their academic feelings are positive, their activities are more mature, and their self-esteem improves. The marine self-concept of the future seafarers during their professional practice on board is dynamic, as they get to know themselves and their suitability for work, try out things and achieve their own professional goals. They feel contentment, pride, and self-worth, as well as safety-related aspirations. Their activities become more appropriate and reliable, and their self-esteem is improved.

Surgery is the most basic treatment in case of breast cancer: it involves a complete or partial removal of the mammary gland. The aim of the study was to assess the body image distress and self-esteem in a group of women with breast cancer undergoing various surgical procedures. The material was collected in a group of 229 women with breast cancer who were divided into subgroups based on the surgery criterion (mastectomy, breast-conserving therapy - BCT and mastectomy with breast reconstruction). The study used the Body Image Scale by Hopwood, Fletcher, Lee and Al Ghazal (2001; Polish adaptation by Brandt-Salmeri and Przybyła-Basista), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale - SES (Polish adaptation by Łaguna, Lachowicz-Tabaczek and Dzwonkowka, 2007) and an original survey. Analyses showed, among other things, significant differences in the assessment of discomfort associated with a change in body image depending on the type of surgery. The research also revealed that the assessment depended on differences between the women in terms of age and the time elapsed since the onset of treatment. Negative body image was adversely associated with self-esteem in all studied groups. Body image was significantly related to age and time elapsed since the treatment in the post-mastectomy group. At the same time, it was related only to age in the BCT group and with regards to the breast reconstruction group, the relationship concerned only elapsed time.
