Recent studies have indicated the potential detrimental psychological effects of Instagram use (IU) and problematic Instagram use (PIU). PIU and IU have been associated with depression, anxiety, and negative general well-being. This study aimed to investigate that correlation through a systematic review and meta-analysis. Seven databases, including PubMed/MEDLINE, were explored in February of 2023. Studies that assessed the association between IU and/or PIU with depression, anxiety, other psychological distresses, and/or general well-being were deemed eligible. The Hunter-Schmidt random effects model and multilevel meta-analysis were applied to assess the outcomes of interest. A total of 1,927 hits were identified with 37 studies included in the quantitative analysis after removal of duplicates and screening of abstracts and full texts, with the total number of participants at 14,305. The obtained correlations between PIU and depression, anxiety, and well-being with 95% confidence interval were found to be r = 0.35, [0.25, 0.44], r = 0.31, [0.22, 0.40], r = -0.17, [-0.24, -0.10], respectively. Similarly, for IU and depression r = 0.11, [0.06, 0.16], p < 0.05 for all of the aforementioned results. The association between IU and anxiety was found to be r = 0.12, [0.04, 0.21], p < 0.05. The present meta-analysis found significant conceptual heterogeneity across the studies included due to different study designs and population heterogeneity. The results show a positive association of PIU and IU with depression, anxiety, and other psychological distress(es). There is a need for robust designed longitudinal research to explore this association.

有问题的 Instagram 使用、心理困扰和幸福感之间的关联：系统回顾和荟萃分析。


最近的研究表明 Instagram 使用 (IU) 和有问题的 Instagram 使用 (PIU) 可能产生有害的心理影响。 PIU 和 IU 与抑郁、焦虑和消极的总体幸福感有关。本研究旨在通过系统评价和荟萃分析来调查这种相关性。 2023 年 2 月对包括 PubMed/MEDLINE 在内的七个数据库进行了探索。评估 IU 和/或 PIU 与抑郁、焦虑、其他心理困扰和/或总体幸福感之间关系的研究被认为是合格的。应用亨特-施密特随机效应模型和多级荟萃分析来评估感兴趣的结果。经过去重、摘要和全文筛选后，纳入定量分析的 37 项研究共获得 1,927 条命中，参与总人数为 14,305 人。获得的 PIU 与抑郁、焦虑和幸福感之间的相关性（置信区间为 95%）为 r = 0.35, [0.25, 0.44], r = 0.31, [0.22, 0.40], r = -0.17, [- 0.24，-0.10]，分别。同样，对于 IU 和抑郁症，所有上述结果的 r = 0.11、[0.06、0.16]、p < 0.05。 IU 与焦虑之间的相关性为 r = 0.12, [0.04, 0.21], p < 0.05。目前的荟萃分析发现，由于不同的研究设计和人群异质性，各研究之间存在显着的概念异质性。结果显示 PIU 和 IU 与抑郁、焦虑和其他心理困扰呈正相关。需要进行稳健设计的纵向研究来探索这种关联。
