Abstract

The negative impact on body image for emerging adults cannot be separated from social media, especially Instagram. Self-compassion has been studied to play a role in problematic body image. The purpose of this study was to see the extent to which self-compassion affects body image. Emerging adults who use Instagram (N=276) completed a scale measuring self-compassion and body image. Regression analysis was conducted to correlate the relationship between self-compassion and body image. The results show that self-compassion is a factor that affects the body image of emerging adults who use Instagram (R2 = 0,231). This finding explains that the application of self-compassion can minimize the negative impact of Instagram usage on body image.
