In addition to the usefulness of Instagram in interaction and communication as well as self-disclosure, there are negative impacts resulting from the use of Instagram. One of the impacts resulting from the use of Instagram is problems with body image in adolescent girls (Raychoudhury, 2021). The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the intensity of Instagram usage with body image in adolescent girls. This study was conducted on 300 female adolescent participants aged 12-19 years old that use Instagram at least in the past week. The method used in this research is non-experimental quantitative with convenience sampling technique. In this study, Skala Intensitas Penggunaan Media Sosial (SIPMS) was used to measure the intensity of Instagram usage and the Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire-Appearance Scale (MBSRQ-AS) was used to measure body image. The results showed that the research hypothesis was accepted, namely that there was a relationship between the intensity of Instagram usage and body image in adolescent girls. The highest correlation was found in body image with the dimension of duration on the intensity of use (r = .434).
