The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between Instagram use, self-esteem, an‎d physical activity with body dissatisfaction in adolescent girls. This research was a descriptive-correlational study. The sample consisted of 214 female students from grades 10 to 12 in secondary schools of District 5 in Isfahan city during the 2024-2025 academic year, selec‎ted via convenience sampling. To measure the variables of Instagram use, self-esteem, physical activity, an‎d body dissatisfaction, the following questionnaires were used respectively: the Instagram Use Intensity Questionnaire, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), an‎d Cooper et al.ʹs Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ). The procedure involved preparing the questionnaires after topic approval an‎d proposal development, distributing them across several schools in District 5, an‎d collecting them upon completion. Data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient, Spearman’s correlation coefficient, an‎d simultaneous entry multiple linear regression. The results indicated a direct an‎d significant relationship between body dissatisfaction an‎d the intensity of Instagram use. Furthermore, the findings revealed a significant inverse relationship between body dissatisfaction an‎d self-esteem in adolescent girls. However, no significant relationship was found between body dissatisfaction an‎d the level of physical activity in adolescent girls. Therefore, it appears that exposure to idealized imagery an‎d narratives on social media, particularly Instagram, is associated with adverse psychological outcomes among adolescent girls, an‎d self-esteem may serve as a moderating factor in this relationship.
