The purpose of this study was to examine the predictors and consequences associated with Instagram selfie posting. Thus, this study explored whether body image satisfaction predicts Instagram selfie posting and whether Instagram selfie posting is then associated with Instagram-related conflict and negative romantic relationship outcomes. A total of 420 Instagram users aged 18 to 62 years (M = 29.3, SD = 8.12) completed an online survey questionnaire. Analysis of a serial multiple mediator model using bootstrapping methods indicated that body image satisfaction was sequentially associated with increased Instagram selfie posting and Instagram-related conflict, which related to increased negative romantic relationship outcomes. These findings suggest that when Instagram users promote their body image satisfaction in the form of Instagram selfie posts, risk of Instagram-related conflict and negative romantic relationship outcomes might ensue. Findings from the current study provide a baseline understanding to potential and timely trends regarding Instagram selfie posting.
本研究的目的是检验与在照片墙(Instagram)上发布自拍照相关的预测因素和后果。因此,本研究探讨了身体形象满意度是否能预测在照片墙上发布自拍照,以及在照片墙上发布自拍照是否随后与和照片墙相关的冲突及负面恋爱关系结果有关。共有420名年龄在18至62岁之间(均值 = 29.3,标准差 = 8.12)的照片墙用户完成了一份在线调查问卷。使用自抽样法对一个连续多重中介模型进行分析表明,身体形象满意度依次与在照片墙上发布自拍照的增加以及和照片墙相关的冲突相关,而这又与负面恋爱关系结果的增加有关。这些发现表明,当照片墙用户以发布自拍照的形式提升他们的身体形象满意度时,可能会引发与照片墙相关的冲突以及负面恋爱关系结果。本研究的结果为有关在照片墙上发布自拍照的潜在及当下趋势提供了一个基础认知。
