Research suggests that certain personality traits influence the frequency of social media use. However, the potential effect of social media use on personality states merits investigation as well, in light of the personality dynamics approach.
We conducted an experimental study in which 325 Instagram users were asked to count selfies and emoticons on their Instagram profiles (experimental condition) or their phones (control condition). Subsequently, all participants responded to questions from the Big Five personality inventory and scale to measure the need for uniqueness in consumption.
Instagram users had a higher neuroticism state and a higher need for uniqueness compared with the controls. In terms of the other Big Five states, we observed no differences between the study conditions.
Our study explores the novel direction of the relationship between social media use and personality, suggesting that using Instagram can temporarily change personality states.
研究表明，某些人格特质会影响社交媒体的使用频率。然而，根据人格动态学方法，社交媒体使用对人格状态的潜在影响也值得研究。
我们进行了一项实验研究，要求325名Instagram用户清点其Instagram个人资料（实验条件）或手机（对照条件）上的自拍和表情符号。随后，所有参与者回答了大五人格量表的问题以及衡量消费中独特性需求的量表。
与对照组相比，Instagram用户具有更高的神经质状态和更高的独特性需求。在其他大五人格状态方面，我们未观察到研究条件之间存在差异。
我们的研究探索了社交媒体使用与人格之间关系的新方向，表明使用Instagram会暂时改变人格状态。
