“…For future research, the influence of social media needs to be included in the development of a model explaining body image problems, e.g., the tripartite influence model. This model proposes that three main sources of sociocultural influence (peers, family, and media) cause the development of body dissatisfaction, dieting behavior, and eating disorders both directly and indirectly through two mediation processes, namely, thin-ideal internalization and appearance comparisons (Papp, Urbán, Czeglédi, Babusa, & Túry, 2013;Rodgers, Chabrol, & Paxton, 2011;Shroff & Thompson, 2006;Yamamiya, Shroff, & Thompson, 2008). By including social media in the model, the influence of social media on body image problems can be identified when compared to other sociocultural influences.…”

The use of social media is very popular among adolescents, particularly female adolescents. Social media applications that provide widespread opportunities to share photos with peers, celebrities, and families can impact the body image of adolescent girls. The aim of this study was to explore the use of social media and its impact on perceptions, cognitions, and emotions that underlie body image of adolescent girls. Furthermore, this study also explored specific behaviors as consequences of positive or negative body image of adolescent girls. The authors conducted focus group discussions on eleven first-and third-semester female students at a university in Surabaya. The results of this study showed that all participants used more than one social media application, including Line, Instagram, YouTube, WhatsApp, and Facebook. Activities these participants frequently engaged in, such as uploading photos, viewing other people's photos, following friends or Instagram celebrities (Insta-celebs), stimulated them to make upward appearance comparisons and more likely to cause negative body image, even though there were participants who still had positive body image. Media literacy, parental guidance, and self-appreciation are necessary to overcome this problem.

“…For example, Irish adolescent girls reported having more frequent conversations about appearance with their peers than boys (Lawler and Nixon 2011). Similarly, Hungarian adolescent girls experienced greater appearance pressures from the media as well as from peers than did boys (Papp et al 2013). Finally, both US and Swiss girls felt greater media pressures to look physically attractive than boys (Ata et al 2007;Knauss et al 2008).…”

Although adolescents frequently use social network sites, little is known about whether the highly visual and self-presentation-centered character of such sites affects body-related outcomes such as investment in appearance and appearance-changing strategies. Due to gender differences in appearance pressures and appearance ideals, these effects of social network sites on body-related outcomes may differ between boys and girls. The aim of the current study was therefore to investigate the relationships between social network site use, appearance investment, and desire for cosmetic surgery among adolescents and to compare the experiences of boys and girls. We used data from a two-wave panel study among 604 Dutch adolescents (aged 11-18). Structural equation modeling showed that social network site use positively predicted adolescents' desire to undergo cosmetic surgery indirectly through increased appearance investment. The relationships found between social network site use, investment in appearance, and cosmetic surgery desire applied to boys and girls and were not moderated by gender.

“…Originally termed 'reverse anorexia' (Pope, Katz, and Hudson, 1993), MD causes individuals to become preoccupied with the belief they are small and weak, which leads to an obsession with weightlifting and dieting (Pope, Gruber, Choi, Olivardia, and Phillips, 1997). Men diagnosed with MD are more likely to use AAS since MD symptoms include some of the behaviours displayed by AAS users, such as excessive weightlifting, muscle dissatisfaction and body anxiety (Papp, Urbán, Czeglédi, Babusa, and Túry, 2013).…”

Background: The use of Anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) among the non-competitive weightlifting community has increased considerably in the UK in recent years, presenting a public health issue. The motives behind use have received considerable attention, with motivations linked to body dissatisfaction, low self-esteem, and more recently, muscle dysmorphia (MD). However, the causal roles of MD and self-esteem in AAS use remain unclear. Therefore, this paper examines the origins and changes to motivations in long-term users.Methods: A qualitative study recruited eight male weightlifters from a needle exchange programme in South Wales, UK. Participants were interviewed about their initial introduction to AAS and their motivations for initial and continued use. Results: The interview data confirmed the importance of the training community in providing advice and guidance on AAS. Those interviewed cited some motivations for use which included self-esteem, body dissatisfaction, MD, social acceptance, and age-related concerns. Implicit in these motivations was a psychological addiction to the positive effects following AAS use, which for some men, had led to psychological dependency and body image pathology. Conclusions: The changes in motivations described by the AAS users provide key insights into the complex nature of AAS use. For some men, low self-esteem, body dissatisfaction and MD precede AAS use, and for others, they are consequences of use. These findings have significant implications for future research and public health initiatives.
