One of the means of communication that can be used for long-distance communication is social media or application. This thesis discusses the correlation between the intensity of Instagram usage and female adolescents’ body image. The research methods used were descriptive and quantitative methods, using a correlational technique. The number of respondents who participated in this research is 184 people. The respondents were selected using purposive sampling technique, respondents are females in the age range of 18-22 and located in Jabodetabek area. The technique of data collecting is by using a questionnaire shared through Google Form to the respondents. The next step was to prove and analyze the data, so a variety of tests were performed, including validity test, reliability test, assumption testing that involves normality and linearity tests, and a hypothesis analysis was also conducted. Since this research uses a correlational technique, the assumption testing used are normality and linearity tests. The result of data processing of the normality test shows that the data are not normally distributed, with the result of 0.023 < 0.05 and 0.013 < 0.05. On the linearity test, the result is 0.386 > 0.05, so it can be concluded that the data are linear. In the calculation using Spearman correlation, the result is 0.997 and the score of sig. of 0.000 < 0.05, which means both variables in this research have a positive and significant correlation.
