Ikkyu Ikkyu, Livia Yuliawati

Abstract


Social media nowadays has become a need of many people. One of the most used social media is Instagram.
Ease of access to look into the lives of others and evaluate others contributes to the decreasing ability to
accept oneself. This study aims to examine the role of gratitude as the mediator between mindfulness and self-
acceptance among Instagram users. The present study involves 121 participants, age from 18 to 24 years old
using convenience sampling method. Gratitude Questionnaire Six Item Form (GC-6), Mindful Attention
Awareness Scale (MAAS), and Berger’s Self-Acceptance Scale are administered using online survey. Results have
found that gratitude significantly acts as the significant partial mediator between mindfulness and self-
acceptance. Mindfulness and gratitude play important roles for active Instagram users to be able to accept
themselves for what they are.
