چکیده

پژوهش حاضر به منظور بررسی تاثیر استفاده از شبکه‌های اجتماعی بر افسردگی با نقش میانجی تصویر بدن انجام شده‌ است. تحقیق حاضر از نظر هدف کاربردی و از لحاظ شیوه گردآوری دادههای پژوهش از نوع توصیفی و همبستگی است. جامعه آماری تحقیق شامل کلیه جوانان عضو در شبکه های اجتماعی بوده است و اعضای نمونه با روش غیراحتمالی در دسترس انتخاب شدند. حجم نمونه مورد نیاز با استفاده از فرمول گرین 106 نفر تعیین شد (234=n). برای گردآوری داده‌ها از سه پرسشنامه استاندارد اعتیاد اینترنتی یانگ (1998)، تست افسردگی بک (1967)، پرسشنامه روابط چندبعدی خود-بدن (1997) استفاده شد. نتایج تحلیل داده‌ها در پژوهش نشان داد که افسردگی پاسخ‌دهندگان خفیف می‌باشد. همچنین میانگین و انحراف استاندارد استفاده از شبکه‌های اجتماعی نشان‌دهنده عدم وابستگی روانی به اینترنت است و در نهایت میانگین و انحراف استاندارد تصویر بدن در پژوهش از تصویر بدنی قوی در پاسخ‌دهندگان خبر می‌دهد. نتایج آزمون رگرسیون نشان داد که استفاده از شبکه‌های اجتماعی به طور متوسط با متغیر افسردگی همبستگی دارد و تغییرات این متغیر را به طور معناداری پیش‌بینی می‌کند (0.001>P ). همچنین نقش میانجی تصویر بدن در رابطه بین استفاده از شبکه‌های اجتماعی و افسردگی تایید شد. با توجه به تاثیر معنادار استفاده از شبکه‌های اجتماعی بر افزایش افسردگی از طریق نقش میانجی تصویر بدن، اتخاذ راهکارهایی جهت آموزش و فرهنگ‌سازی در زمینه استفاده از این شبکه‌ها و افزایش ادراک افراد از تصویر بدنی‌شان از طریق برنامه‌های آموزشی و کارگاه‌های روانشناختی امری اجتناب‌ناپذیر به‌نظر می‌رسد.

چکیده [English]

Over the past decades, Social Networking Sites (SNS) have become indispensable to everyday activities, leading to profound changes in people’s communication styles. Although social media has many positive advantages, it causes an array of mental health problems. The present study was carried out to investigate the effect of social media use on depression with the mediating role of body image. The present research is descriptive-correlational in terms of data collection method and applied in terms of aims. The statistical population of the study included all young members of social networks. Using the Green formula, the required sample size (104) was determined (n=234). Samples were selected by the convenience sampling method. We employed Young Internet Addiction Questionnaire, Beck Depression Inventory, and Multidimensional Relationships Questionnaires to collect data. The results of this study indicate that participants’ depression was mild. The mean and standard deviation of participants’ social media indicate no addiction to the Internet. Finally, the mean and standard deviation of body image shows a strong body image in the present study. The results of the regression test showed that social media use has a moderate positive effect on depression. The mediating role of body image in the relationship between social media use and depression was confirmed, as well. Considering the significant effect of social media use on depression through body image, it is of prime importance to adopt strategies to inform people about the proper use of these sites and to foster people’s perception of their body image through psychological workshops, coupled with educational programs related to media literacy.
