The present study investigated whether abstaining from Instagram (Ig) affects subjective well-being among young men and women. By comparing an intervention group (40 participants who take a break from Ig for a week) with a control group (40 participants who kept using Ig), we found that women who quitting Ig reported significantly higher levels of life satisfaction and positive affect than women who kept using it.

The present study investigated whether abstaining from Instagram (Ig) affects subjective well-being among young men and women. By comparing an intervention group (40 participants who take a break from Ig for a week) with a control group (40 participants who kept using Ig), we found that women who quitting Ig reported significantly higher levels of life satisfaction and positive affect than women who kept using it.
