Relationships among selfie-posting, narcissism, body dissatisfaction, and gender

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate whether narcissism, body dissatisfaction, and gender could predict online selfie posting. We hypothesized that narcissism, body dissatisfaction, and gender would be positively with selfie-positing behavior. One hundred participants were asked to complete a set of 30-item questionnaires assessing the aforementioned three constructs. The data was processed and analyzed by using descriptive statistics. Then correlational analyses of the relationships among study variables and a multiple regression analysis were conducted via SPSS software version 20. Our finding revealed that narcissism and body dissatisfaction were positively correlated with selfie-posting. However, no significant positive relationship was found for gender variable.
