Abstract

Istraživanja pokazuju da gotovo svi adolescenti i mladi koriste barem jednu, ako ne i više društvenih mreža. Uz toliko povećanje korištenja društvenih mreža, javlja se i potreba za novim istraživanjima. Ciljevi ovog rada bili su ispitati predviđaju li učestalost korištenja Instagrama,i samoobjektivizacija simptome depresije kod adolescenata te postoji li moderatorski efekt samoobjektivizacije (samo-nadzora i srama zbog izgleda tijela) na povezanost učestalosti korištenja Instagrama sa razinom depresije. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 361 učenica i učenika drugih, trećih i četvrtih razreda srednjih škola s područja Zagreb u dobi od 15 do 19 godina. Istraživanje je provedeno u većim skupinama za vrijeme redovne nastave, u formi papir – olovka. Baterija upitnika sastojala se od Skale objektiviziranja tijela za adolescente (engl. Objectified Body Consciousness Scale for Adolescents), Ljestvice depresivnosti Centra za epidemiološka istraživanja (engl. Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, CES-D) i demografskih pitanja. Rezultati pokazuju kako djevojke u odnosu na mladiće učestalije koriste Instragam, pokazuju više simptoma depresije i višu razinu samoobjektivizacije. Nadalje, viša razina samo-nadzora i srama zbog izgleda tijela bili su prediktori više razine simptoma depresije kod adolescenata oba roda. Moderatorski efekt samoobjektivizacije vlastitoga tijela je potvrđen.

Abstract (english)

Research shows that almost all adolescents and young people use at least one, if not more, social networks. With so much usage of from social networks, there is a need for new research. The aim of this study was to examine whether the frequency of Instagram use and the self-objectification would predict adolescent depression, and whether self-objectification would moderate the association between Instagram frequency use and depression symptoms. The participants were 361 high school students of second, third and fourth grade from the Zagreb area, ages 15 to 19. The research was conducted in large groups during regular classes, in a paper-pencil form. The battery of the questionnaires consisted of the Objectified Body Consciousness Scale for Adolescents , the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) and demographic questions. The results showed that girls use Instagram more frequently than boys, experience more symptoms of depression and higher levels of self-objectification. Furthermore, the higher levels of self-objectification (body surveillance and body shame) were predictors of higher levels of depression symptoms in adolescents. The moderating effect of self-objectification of one's body has not been obtained.
