| Abstract: | Social networking sites have grown in popularity among younger people in India during the past few years. Due to its visually appealing content, Instagram, a photos and video-sharing social media platform, has become extremely popular with young people. Social media sites offer numerous advantages, yet they have been connected to detrimental effects on psychological health, especially in the areas of esteem and body image. The purpose of the current study is to examine how Instagram use affects young people's perceptions of their bodies and their self-esteem in India. There have been discussions concerning Instagram's possible effects on self-esteem and body image as its use has increased. The goal of this exploratory study is to find out how Instagram use affects young people's perceptions of their body image and sense of self-esteem. Using a probability sampling technique, 317 volunteers between the ages of 15 and 30 were chosen as the sample for this quantitative study. The participants answered questions based on the study's objectives including how frequently they use Instagram, the kinds of content they view, and overall levels of self-esteem and satisfaction with their bodies and self-esteem using the Rosenberg self-esteem measurement scale. The results of this study may contribute to a better understanding of Instagram's influence on young people in India when it comes to body image and self-esteem. The research may help make psychologists and other mental health practitioners more aware of the relationship that exists between social platforms and a person's mental health. |
