Abstract: (18 Views)
The present study aimed to determine the role of social media addiction (SMA) through the mediation of positive and negative affect and social comparison in students' body image concerns. The present study was a descriptive-correlational study using structural equation modeling. Students of Islamic Azad University, Birjand Branch in 2025 were the statistical population of this study. 200 people were selected using convenience sampling method. To collect data, the Addiction to Mobile Questionnaire based on Social Networks (AMQSN; Khajeh Ahmadi et al., 2016), the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS; Thompson, 2007), the Social Comparisons Orientation Scale (SCOS; Gibbons and Bank, 1999), and the Body Image Concern Inventory (BICI; Littleton et al., 2005) were used. Data analysis was performed using structural equation modeling. The findings showed that the proposed model had a good fit. The findings indicated that SMA, positive and negative affect, and social comparison were significantly associated with body image concerns (P<0.05). In addition, SMA demonstrated significant relationships with positive affect, negative affect, and social comparison (P<0.05). Results from the bootstrap analysis further revealed that positive and negative emotions, as well as social comparison, significantly mediated the relationship between SMA and body image concerns (P<0.05). Overall, these results suggest that SMA is directly associated with body image concerns, while this association is also indirectly explained through the mediating effects of affect states and social comparison processes.
