Abstract

Instagram is a widely favored platform among social media users and its utilization is gaining increasing prevalence. Globally, Türkiye ranks fifth in terms of Instagram usage. The extensive and regular use of Instagram entails various issues associated with the excessive usage of the platform. Hence, it is crucial to ascertain the factors that may influence excessive Instagram usage. The current study aimed to investigate the correlations between personality traits, perceived ostracism, and excessive Instagram usage. The research sample comprised a total of 379 university students. Data were collected using the Instagram Addiction Scale, Ostracism Scale, and Basic Personality Traits Inventory and the data was compared with the existing literature. Our findings indicate a negative correlation between excessive Instagram usage and the personality traits of extraversion, conscientiousness, agreeableness, and openness to experience. Additionally, there was a positive correlation between excessive Instagram use and the personality traits of neuroticism, negative valence, and perceived ostracism. Hierarchical regression analysis revealed that gender, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and perceived ostracism were significant predictors of excessive Instagram use. Moreover, a notable difference was observed in Instagram usage, conscientiousness, openness to experience, and negative valence scores based on gender. The current study contributes to the field by investigating the connections between Instagram usage, personality factors, and perceived ostracism in a sample from Türkiye.

Abstract

Sosyal medya hesapları arasında popüler olan Instagram’ın kullanımı giderek yaygınlaşmaktadır. İstatistikler de Türkiye’nin Instagram kullanımında dünyada beşinci sırada olduğunu göstermektedir. Ancak Instagramın bu kadar yaygın olarak ve sıklıkla kullanılması beraberinde Instagramın aşırı kullanımı ile ilgili sorunları da getirmektedir. Bu yüzden aşırı Instagram kullanımının altında yatan nedenlere dair ya da Instagram kullanımını etkileme olasılığı olan değişkenlerin tespit edilmesi önemlidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı da kişilik özellikleri, algılanan psikolojik dışlanma ve aşırı Instagram kullanımı arasındaki ilişkilerin incelenmesidir. Bu araştırmanın örneklemi toplamda 379 üniversite öğrencisinden oluşmaktadır. Veri toplama amacıyla Instagram Bağımlılığı Ölçeği, Dışlanma Ölçeği, Temel Kişilik Özellikleri Envanteri kullanılmıştır. Sonuçlar aşırı Instagram kullanımının dışadönüklük, sorumluluk, uyumluluk ve deneyime açık olma boyutları ile negatif yönlü, nevrotiklik, olumsuz değerlik ve algılanan psikolojik dışlanma ile ise pozitif yönlü anlamlı ilişkili olduğunu göstermiştir. Yapılan hiyerarşik regresyon analizi sonucunda cinsiyet, sorumluluk, nevrotiklik ve algılanan psikolojik dışlanmanın aşırı Instagram kullanımını yordadığı bulunmuştur. Ayrıca Instagram kullanımı, sorumluluk, deneyime açıklık ve olumsuz değerlik puanlarında cinsiyete göre anlamlı farklılık bulunmuştur. Bu çalışma, Instagram kullanımı kişilik özellikleri ve algılanan psikolojik dışlanma arasındaki ilişkileri Türkiye örnekleminde inceleyerek alana katkı sağlamaktadır.
