The Mediating Effect of Upward Social Comparison Moderated by Control Flexibility on the Relationship Between Social Network Service Use Intensity and Depression: Focused on Instagram
Abstract
This study explored the mediating effect of upward social comparison moderated by cognitive flexibility on the relationship between social network service use intensity and depression, focused on Instagram. To examine this, 186 male and female college student-participants were asked to complete questionnaires of Instagram use intensity, upward social comparison experience at using Instagram, cognitive flexibility and depression. As a result, Instagram use intensity was positively related to upward social comparison and depression, but negatively related to cognitive flexibility. Based on these correlations, we verified that upward social comparison had partial mediating effects on the relationship between Instagram use intensity and depression and that only control flexibility(one sub factor of cognitive flexibility) had moderate effects on the relationship between upward social comparison and depression. Finally we verify mediating effect of upward social comparison moderated by control flexibility on the relationship between Instagram use intensity and depression. These findings suggest that high control flexibility may relieve danger of the relationship between Instagram use intensity and depression by reducing the effect of upward social comparison. The implications and limitations of this study were discussed and future directions for this research were provided.
