The spotlight effect is an extension of egocentrism that appears to be an appropriate construct to investigate given the ubiquitous presence of social media use today. Egocentrism refers to an individual's inability to understand another person's point of view as separate from their own, while the spotlight effect is an individual's tendency to believe that others are noticing them more than they actually are. Limited research has been conducted to measure the spotlight effect. This dissertation studied the predictive influence of egocentrism, Facebook use, and generation on the spotlight effect. The millennial generation is compared to its prior generation, Generation X. A nonexperimental correlational study was conducted, and 102 participants born between 1965 through 1995 who use Facebook completed a survey measuring egocentrism, Facebook use, and the spotlight effect. The overall regression showed that the spotlight effect can be predicted from egocentrism, Facebook use, and generation combined: F(3, 98) = 27.213, p = .000. A stepwise multiple regression analysis demonstrated that a significant proportion of the variance R2 = .464 (46%) in the spotlight effect was attributed to egocentrism, with little contribution from Facebook use, t(3, 101) = -1.238, p > .05, and generation, t(3, 101) = -.529, p > .05. Further research is essential to understanding egocentric behavior such as the spotlight effect. Playing an effective role in human interactions would entail more of an open perspective and less focus on self. The results of this dissertation give new insight into the to the behavioral implications of social media use. These implications of this study could aid in education that would decrease the spotlight effect and egocentric bias while increasing effective communication. The findings also challenge further study of these constructs within diverse races and cultures, as well as encourage other methods to of research to replicate the study.
