Who experienced the largest Instagram benefits?

The largest benefits from Instagram deactivation appeared to be experienced by women aged 18-24. The findings suggest that this group reported an improvement of 0.111 standard deviations in their emotional state, which was significant with a p-value of 0.002. In contrast, the effects observed for other demographics were less pronounced and statistically indistinguishable from zero^[1].

Additionally, the analysis indicated that Instagram's positive effects on users’ emotional states are not as strong for older age groups or male participants, highlighting the specific vulnerability of younger women to social media impact^[1].
