1 Australian Catholic University; 2 The University of Queensland The Role of Social Connection in Satisfaction with Instagram Photographs Stephanie J. Tobin1, Pitchaya Chulpaiboon2, Sorrel Graham1, and Emily Bourson1 1 Australian Catholic University; 2 The University of Queensland Introduction Study 1 Study 2 Conclusions Photographs of known others provide a visual reminder of one’s relationships, which should help to satisfy the fundamental need to belong. Baumeister and Leary (1995) define the need to belong as an innate need for interpersonal relationships. They argue that this need is best met by frequent, positive interactions in the context of ongoing relationships. When current levels of belonging are unsatisfactory, a social monitoring system assesses opportunities for social interaction (Gardner, Pickett, & Knowles, 2005). If social interaction is not possible, people can still maintain a sense of belonging by drawing upon representations of social bonds. These representations could be tangible objects (e.g., photographs) or memories. Social networking site (SNS) features that allow online interactions with friends would help to meet the need to belong. Instagram offers additional avenues for satisfying the need to belong by allowing users to share and view visual representations of their relationships. Photographs of known others are frequently shared on SNSs. Hu, Manikonda, and Kambhampati (2014) found that “friends” was one of the most common categories of photographs shared on Instagram. Similarly, Mendelson and Papacharissi (2010) found that relationships (especially friendships) were the dominant subject matter of college students’ tagged Facebook photographs. It is not yet known how sharing different types of photographs on SNSs influences people. However, when people were asked to photograph what made their life feel meaningful, they focused on their relationships (Steger et al., 2013). We predicted that sharing photographs of known others on Instagram would be associated with greater satisfaction and happiness greater social interaction motivation for using Instagram. Sample 113 Instagram users were recruited through mturk (85%) and a university subject pool (15%). 64% female, 36% male; Mage = 28.69, SD = 8.22 Procedure Participants were asked to open up Instagram on a mobile device or in a separate window on their computer, click on their own profile and scroll through the pictures they had previously shared find a photograph that made them feel happy and answer a series of questions about it photograph content (known other, self, etc.) satisfaction looking at and sharing photograph answer the same set of questions about each of their five most recent photographs, excluding the one they had already described indicate their motivations for using Instagram (Smock, Ellison, Lampe, & Wohn, 2011) social interaction Results A series of nonparametric McNemar’s tests revealed that the nominated happy photograph was more likely to contain a known other (61%) than any of the recent photographs (33%), ps < .001. Pearson correlations indicated that having more photographs of known others in the recent set was associated with greater satisfaction and greater social interaction motivation. Greater social interaction motivation was associated with greater satisfaction. Sample 293 Instagram users were recruited through social media (37%), mturk (35%), and a university subject pool (29%). 76% female, 24% male; Mage = 27.39, SD = 8.94 Procedure Current emotions (Brown & Dutton, 1995) Outcome: glad, happy, sad, unhappy Self-worth: proud, pleased with myself, ashamed, humiliated Motivations for using Instagram (Sheldon & Bryant, 2016): surveillance/knowledge about others Content and satisfaction ratings for five most recently shared Instagram photographs Emotions while reviewing photographs Results Pearson correlations indicated that sharing more photographs of known others was associated with greater satisfaction and greater surveillance motivation. Greater surveillance motivation was associated with greater satisfaction. Regression analyses revealed that, controlling for baseline emotions, sharing more photographs of known others was associated with more positive outcome emotions while viewing photographs greater surveillance motivation was associated with more positive outcome emotions and feelings of self-worth while viewing photographs The findings from two studies supported the idea that sharing photographs of known others on Instagram is associated with satisfaction and happiness, presumably because it helps to satisfy the need to belong. Support for the role of belonging needs is bolstered by the findings that social motivations for using Instagram are associated with sharing more photographs of known others and experiencing more satisfaction and positive emotion while viewing photographs. These findings add to the emerging literature on Instagram use and photography, and highlight the utility of examining the content of shared photographs. Instagram has emerged as a dominant SNS with 600 million users sharing 95 million photographs and videos per day (Instagram, 2016). Our research suggests that such activity might play an important role in helping people meet their fundamental belonging needs. References Baumeister, R. F., & Leary, M. R. (1995).
