To sufficiently map the complexity of the relationship between Instagram use and indicators of mental health, we organized the research findings of every variable into four categories: Instagram membership, intensity of Instagram use, type of use and Instagram content and characteristics of Instagram profile. Most evidence has been obtained for the relationships between Instagram use and social comparison, body image, and disordered eating outcomes. Evidence for the relation between Instagram use and the other variables is inconclusive and, for certain constructs, still scarce.
