    Personality and Instagram use motives with problematic Instagram use among adolescents: A cross-sectional study
    (Düzce Üniversitesi, 2023) Hussain, Zaheer; Savcı, Mustafa; Kırcaburun, Kagan; Griffiths, Mark
    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.
