The present study aimed to develop and validate the Instagram Attitudes Scale, observing its relationship with time and frequency of use of the social network, self-esteem, and sociodemographic variables (gender and age). Study 1, employed exploratory factor analysis (which indicated a unifactorial organization) and reliability (α = 0.84 ). In study 2, confirmatory factor analysis, and bivariate correlations were performed. The results indicated a significant adjustment of the instrument (CFI = 0.99; TLI = 0.99; GFI = 0.99; RMSEA = 0.03, with a confidence interval between 0.01 - 0.13; SRMR = 0 , 04).
