Abstract: With the development of the Internet, social networking sites have become an important part of individual daily life, which has an important impact on individual social development and social adaptation. Based on these thoughts, this study explored the relationship of “show off love ” on the subjective well-being of spectators and discussed the role of self-esteem and attachment in it. This study included 458 subjects who completed questionnaires regarding passive use of SNS romantic relationships, subjective well-being, self-esteem, and attachment style. Conclusions are as follows:(1)Passive use of SNS romantic relationships negatively predicts subjective well-being and self-esteem.(2)The relationship between passive use of SNS romantic relationships and subjective well-being is mediated by self-esteem.(3)Attachment anxiety moderates the relationship of passive use of SNS romantic relationships and self-esteem. When the level of attachment is lower, the effect of passive use of SNS romantic relationships on self-esteem is stronger.

Key words: social networking sites, romantic relationship, subjective well-being, self-esteem, attachment
