Abstract

Social media ingrains the lives of countless individuals in the world. With adolescents, particularly young women being the primary users of social media platforms, the question of whether social media use has an impact on their self-esteem, body dissatisfaction, body image, and self-concept. In social media, people can easily find many “perfect” body photos, and people in real life tend to believe that is the “ideal” body and develop negative influence and views on their own body. This exploratory study will conduct through the hypothesis that women develop negative body images after viewing the perfect body images promoted by social media with further experiments.
