| dc.description.abstract | The current study was undertaken to study relationship of selfie addiction with self-esteem and mental health of adolescents. The total sample comprised of 360 adolescents studying in 10th, 11th and 12th standard from rural and urban schools of Ludhiana district identified with selfie addiction and equally divided across two sexes and locales. Self-structured Selfie Addiction checklist, Self-Esteem Inventory (Coopersmith 1986) and Mental Health Battery (Singh and Gupta 2000) was used to collect the data. Results revealed that majority of rural and urban adolescents had medium self-esteem. Most of rural and urban adolescents with borderline addiction were found to have better self-esteem than adolescents with chronic selfie addiction.Selfie addiction was more related with various aspects of mental health in case of rural than for urban adolescents. Urban adolescents were having better emotional stability than rural adolescents. Gender differences revealed that boys as compared to girls were having high self-esteem. More number of boys with acute selfie addiction were found to have low mental health. Boys with chronic selfie addiction felt less secure as compared to girls. Urban boys across three levels of selfie addiction were more emotionally stable. Emotional stability was found influencing selfie addiction in case of urban girls and rural boys whereas, it showed no relationship in urban boys and rural girls. Within boys, mental health issues were exerting more influence on selfie taking behaviour of rural boys than on urban boys. Rural boys’ and urban girls’ mental health status was significantly more influencing their selfie addiction. | en_US |
