Abstract
Selfies are self-portraits taken to admire one’s own appearance excessively. When selfies are taken persistently in increased numbers with futile efforts to stop, it is termed as “selfie addiction.” There is an uncontrollable craving for taking selfies, which greatly affects lifestyle modifications, particularly among adolescents. A quantitative descriptive study was conducted using a non-probability convenience sampling technique to assess the level of selfie addiction among college students. Griffith’s standardized Selfie Addiction Scale, consisting of 20 questionnaires, was used to collect data from 423 students. The results of the study revealed that 26.7% (113) of the students had low selfie addiction, 58.1% (246) had moderate selfie addiction, 13% (55) had high selfie addiction, and 2.2% (9) had severe selfie addiction. The study concluded that the majority of college students had a moderate level of selfie addiction.
