Results indicated that actual body size was positively related to body dissatisfaction, and negatively related to the number of selfies taken. Results also revealed a positive relationship between body dissatisfaction and selfies taken. Conversely, no correlations were detected between the frequency of selfies posted to Instagram and either actual body size or body image dissatisfaction.</p>}, number={9}, journal={First Monday}, author={Wagner, Charles and Aguirre, Ester and Sumner, Erin M.}, year={2016}, month={Aug.} }
