The aim of this study is to examine the dependence between self-esteem of Internet users and their use of the Internet. The issue was taken due to its timeliness. The Internet and its resources attract the attention of the majority of people from different age groups. The study group consisted of 120 people, of which 98 have an account on social networks. The research involved the Multidimensional MSEI Self-Assessment Questionnaire (used for self-assessment) and a questionnaire for the use of various forms of the Internet, constructed for the needs of the work. The analysis of the results showed no statistically significant relationship between the general level of self-esteem and the frequency of Internet use. Relationships were, however, noticed between some dimensions of self-esteem and the time of using the network. There were also found statistically significant correlations between the assessment of own admiration abilities and activity on social networks.
