Ergenler arasında problemli Instagram kullanımı ile kişilik ve Instagram kullanım motifleri: Kesitsel bir çalışma

Mevcut araştırma çalışmaları, bireylerin kişilik özelliklerinin ve çevrimiçi bir etkinliği (ör. sosyal medya) kullanma motivasyonlarının, bu etkinliğin artan problemli ve bağımlılık yaratan kullanımıyla ilişkili olabileceğini göstermektedir. Facebook ve sosyal medya bağımlılığını daha genel olarak inceleyen birçok çalışma olmasına rağmen, Instagram bağımlılığı çok daha az çalışılmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, kişilik özellikleri ile Instagram kullanım güdüleri arasındaki ilişkiyi Instagram bağımlılığı ile ilişkili olarak incelemektir. Toplam 358 ergen Instagram kullanıcısı, yukarıda belirtilen değişkenler için değerlendirme araçları içeren bir anketi tamamladı. Hiyerarşik regresyon analizleri, farklı kişilik özelliklerinin, erkekler ve kadınlar arasında farklı Instagram kullanım güdüleriyle ilişkili olduğunu göstermiştir. Daha spesifik olarak, daha düşük dışadönüklük, yeni insanlarla tanışma ve sosyalleşme, zaman geçirme ve Instagram'ı bilgi ve eğitim amacıyla daha az kullanma, kız ergenler arasında daha yüksek Instagram bağımlılığı ile pozitif olarak ilişkiliydi. Erkek ergenler arasında, Instagram'ı yalnızca daha popüler bir benlik oluşturmak, ifade etmek veya sunmak için kullanmak (örneğin, çevrimiçi kendini sunma), daha yüksek Instagram bağımlılığı ile pozitif olarak ilişkiliydi. Bu çalışmanın bulguları, problemli Instagram kullanımının daha iyi anlaşılabilmesi için kişilik, motivasyon ve cinsiyet farklılıklarının eş zamanlı olarak dikkate alınması gerektiğini düşündürmektedir.

Personality and Instagram use motives with problematic Instagram use among adolescents: A cross-sectional study

Contemporary research studies indicate that individuals’ personality traits and motivations for using an online activity (e.g., social media) can be related to elevated problematic and addictive use of that activity. Although there are now many studies examining problematic Facebook use and problematic social media use more generally, problematic Instagram use (PIU) has been much less studied. The purpose of the present study was to examine the relationship between personality traits and Instagram use motives in relation to PIU. A total of 358 adolescent Instagram users completed a survey that included assessment tools for the aforementioned variables. Hierarchical regression analyses indicated that different personality traits were related to different Instagram use motives among males and females. More specifically, lower extraversion, meeting new people and socializing, passing time, and using Instagram less for information and education purposes were positively associated with higher PIU among female adolescents. Among male adolescents, only using Instagram for making, expressing, or presenting a more popular self (e.g., online self-presentation) was positively associated with higher PIU. Findings of the present study suggest that in order to better understand problematic Instagram use, personality, motivations, and gender differences should be taken into account simultaneously.
