Resumen
El uso frecuente de Instagram y el compromiso con el contenido de alimentos están relacionados con una mayor depresión, ansiedad y estrés en los adultos jóvenes. Esto pone de relieve la necesidad de alfabetización digital y apoyo a la salud mental adaptado a los comportamientos en línea.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Psicología
- Salud pública
- Estudios de los medios digitales
Sus antecedentes:
- El creciente uso de las redes sociales entre los jóvenes plantea preocupaciones sobre el bienestar psicológico.
- El enfoque visual de Instagram está relacionado con la ansiedad, la depresión y el estrés.
- Existe una investigación limitada sobre la salud mental de los jóvenes indios y el compromiso específico con el contenido de Instagram.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Investigar el vínculo entre la frecuencia de uso de Instagram y la salud mental (depresión, ansiedad, estrés) en jóvenes indios de entre 16 y 25 años.
- Examinar si el compromiso con el contenido de los alimentos/restaurantes se correlaciona con la angustia psicológica.
Principales métodos:
- Encuesta transversal de 300 participantes en Pune, India.
- Utilizó la Escala de Depresión, Ansiedad y Estrés-21 (DASS-21) y un cuestionario de uso de Instagram.
- Los datos se analizan mediante estadísticas descriptivas, correlaciones, ANOVA y análisis de regresión.
Principales resultados:
- El 93% informó el uso diario de Instagram; el 32% eran usuarios pesados (> 3 horas / día).
- Los usuarios pesados mostraron niveles significativamente más altos de depresión, ansiedad y estrés.
- El contacto frecuente con el contenido de alimentos/restaurantes se correlaciona con un aumento del estrés y la ansiedad.
Conclusiones:
- El uso frecuente de Instagram y el compromiso con el contenido de alimentos se asocian con un aumento de la angustia psicológica en los adultos jóvenes.
- Los hallazgos subrayan la necesidad de alfabetización digital y intervenciones de salud mental que aborden los comportamientos de consumo de contenido.

Social anxiety disorder, also known as social phobia, is characterized by an intense fear of social situations where one might face humiliation, rejection, embarrassment, or negative evaluation. This disorder leads individuals to avoid activities like casual conversations, public speaking, or seemingly simple tasks such as eating, signing documents, or swimming, in public settings. Its impact extends beyond discomfort, often significantly interfering with daily functioning and quality of life.

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Long-term depression, or LTD, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTD is the process of synaptic weakening that occurs over time between pre and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic weakening of LTD works in opposition to synaptic strengthening by long-term potentiation (LTP) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.

Depressive disorders are a group of mental health conditions characterized by pervasive feelings of sadness, diminished pleasure in life, and a significant impact on daily functioning. These conditions are most prevalent in individuals during their 30s and affect women at twice the rate of men.
