“…IAS-15 scores were negatively associated with perceived quality of life and sleep quality which is in accordance with previous research (Lowe-Calverley et al, 2019;Sanz-Blas et al, 2019). For instance, Instagram users have access to the flow of updates over the day and night, regardless of the working and sleeping hours.…”

The problematic use of Instagram in the form of addiction has gained increasing credibility and attention in recent years, leading to the development of several psychometric instruments to assess the behavior. One recently developed tool is the 15-item Instagram Addiction Scale (IAS-15). The IAS-15 comprises two subscales assessing social effect and compulsion. In the present study, the IAS-15 was translated into Italian, and its reliability and validity were tested among 398 Italians (101 males, 297 females) aged 18 to 78 years (mean age M=37 years; SD=11). Confirmatory factor analysis supported the original two-factor solution. Furthermore, the scale showed good internal consistency. Additionally, Instagram addiction was positively associated with social phobia, depression, anxiety, stress, social media addiction, smartphone addiction, and internet use disorder while being negatively associated with age, perceived quality of life, and quality of sleep. Based on the findings, the IAS-15 is a valid and reliable psychometric instrument to assess Instagram addiction among Italian adults.

“…This finding supports previous research showing that social networking sites constitute a source of stress ( Maier et al, 2012 ). With respect to Instagram, it has been recently shown that time spent on Instagram is a significant predictor of stress ( Lowe-Calverley et al, 2019 ). Similarly, Sanz-Blas et al , ( Sanz-Blas et al, 2019 ) in a study of 342 active Instagram users examined the negative impact of excessive use of Instagram on individuals’ psychological well-being and found that Instagram overuse resulted in elevated levels of stress and emotional fatigue.…”

Instagram is one of the fastest growing social networking platforms. A body of evidence suggests that Instagram problematic use and addiction have negative effects on the psychological well-being of young people. The Instagram Addiction Scale, a self-report tool assessing Instagram problematic use and addiction, has been developed recently. The aim of the present study was to validate the Instagram Addiction Scale in the Greek language and to assess its psychometric properties. An online and on-print self-report survey was conducted among Greek youth, aged between 18 and 24 years. The survey included the Instagram Addiction Scale, the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale, the Perceived Stress Scale, and the Big Five Inventory. A total of 967 respondents participated in the study. The analysis suggested that the Greek version of the Instagram Addiction Scale has good psychometric properties. The principal component factor analysis for construct validity generated two subscales as the original instrument: social effect and impulsion. Internal consistency for the two subscales and the scale’s total score was satisfactory, with Cronbach’s α at 0.76, 0.85 and 0.88, respectively. Correlation analyses revealed positive associations between the perceived stress scale and social effect, and the Instagram Addiction Scale’s total score (p<0.0001 and p=0.002 respectively). This is the first study validating the Instagram Addiction Scale in Greek youth, which can be used by researchers and practitioners for the evaluation of youth problematic use of Instagram.

“…Ellas deben ejercer una mayor vigilancia sobre sí mismas en términos de la imagen que presentan ante sus pares y otras audiencias imaginadas en el mundo virtual -por ejemplo, evitando imágenes donde se las vea en comportamientos considerados indeseables para una chica, como beber alcohol o en ropa que pueda ser considerada "reveladora"-. Esta presión es importante para ambos sexos, pero lo es mucho más para las chicas (Åberg et al, 2020;Lowe-Calverley et al, 2019). Duffy y Chan (2019) hablan de esta auto-vigilancia (surveillance) o "monitoreo" como un rasgo crecientemente internalizado en la cultura de los perfiles y redes sociales.…”
