Abstract

The current study aimed to investigate how posting stories on Instagram influence users’ mental health and extrapolate the relationship between ephemeral social media use and users’ psychological needs. Several Instagram stories were selected and analyzed in terms of content, emotion and attention-degree. The study discovered that people are likely to share Instagram stories to meet their goal of impression management, gather social support by connecting with their social network and eliciting feedback, which in turn can facilitate emotional well-being.
