“…Consistent with this theory, studies have supported the mediating role of appearance comparisons in the association between media exposure (including social media use) and body dissatisfaction [24][25][26][27] (Fardouly and Vartanian, 2015; Myers and Crowther, 2007; Slevec and Tiggemann, 2011; Tiggemann and Zaccardo, 2015). Specifically, those who view attractive images of others often judge themselves as being less attractive, which can cause them to feel worse about their appearance [24,28]. Following this rationale, it is possible that appearance comparisons would mediate the relationship between selfie-viewing and facial dissatisfaction.…”

“…Unlike images of celebrities on more traditional forms of media outlets, such as magazines and televisions, selfies on social media may give viewers an illusion that the glamorised faces are real and attainable, neglecting the fact that these selfies can be enhanced by the filters [29]. Consequently, when viewing selfies, social media users may judge themselves to be less attractive than others (i.e., make upward comparisons, Festinger, 1954), which may result in facial dissatisfaction [28,31,32]. Thus, appearance comparisons would mediate the positive relationship between the frequency of selfie-viewing behaviour and the extent of facial dissatisfaction.…”

With the visual turn in online communication, selfies have become common on social media. Although selfies as a way of self-representation provide people with more chances to express themselves, the adverse effects selfies could bring to users’ body image need to be treated seriously. This study tested whether selfie-viewing behaviour on social media was related to facial dissatisfaction and whether appearance comparisons played a mediating role. Moreover, the self-objectification was examined as a moderator between selfie-viewing behaviour and facial dissatisfaction via appearance comparisons. Results showed that more selfie-viewing was associated with higher facial dissatisfaction, and this relationship was mediated by appearance comparisons. The study also found that self-objectification moderated the indirect relation between selfie-viewing and facial dissatisfaction via appearance comparisons. Gender differences were also found to affect the mediation model. Our research provides new insights into the interactions between social media use and perception of body image.

“…A significant correlation between hours spent on social networks and atrisk eating behaviors has been found (Caldera, Martín del Campo, Caldera, Reynoso & Zamora, (2019); Santarossa & Woodruff, (2017). Additionally, experimental and review studies have highlighted a correlation between internet use, especially when related to image and appearance, and the internalization of body image (Hogue & Mills, (2019); Mingoia, Hutchinson, Wilson, & Gleaves, (2017) as well as body image and eating concerns (Rodgers & Melioli, (2016). A mixed methods systematic review (Rounsefell et al, (2020) identified correlations between social media engagement or exposure to content related to body image and body dissatisfaction, dieting, overeating, and choosing healthy foods, with qualitative data emphasizing the role of comparison, modifying one's appearance to portray an ideal image, and external validation.…”

The emergence of information and communication technologies (ICT) has generated a number of research questions, related to their use and potential risk, but also potentials for prevention or health promotion. Online social networks have become an important source of information for users as well as a tool for social relations. As traditional social networks, they can act as vehicles to improve the health of adolescents and youth, as well as play a key role in an educational context. The aim of this work is then to explore the theoretical relevance of ICT, particularly on online social networks, on disease prevention and health promotion of communicable diseases. Literature review points out the role of online social networks, particularly in the field of sexual health, body image, especially eating habits and overweight, as well as smoking and alcohol dependence. Data allow us to understand how online social network behavior and interaction is related to their burden and interventions developed in sexual health and addiction show positive results. More efforts in body image are needed in order to use these tools for prevention and promotion of health from early age.

“…Hal ini terkait dengan pujianpujian positif akan penampilan yang didapatkan di sosial media yang dapat meningkatkan ketidak puasan tubuh (Tiggemann & Barbato, 2018). Ketidakpuasan juga muncul pada wanita dewasa awal yang memiliki keterikatan tinggi pada sosial media dan melakukan interaksi di sosial media dengan teman yang dianggap memiliki penampilan yang menarik secara fisik (Hogue & Mills, 2019).…”

Individu yang berada pada perkembangan dewasa awal dalam kehidupannya memerlukan sosial media untuk memudahkan dalam berhubungan sosial. Namun demikian, peningkatan penggunaan media sosial mempengaruhi body dissatisfaction yang dialami dewasa awal. Body dissatisfaction adalah persepsi negatif individu terhadap kondisi tubuhnya kerena adanya kesenjangan antara gambaran tubuh yang dianggap ideal dengan kondisi tubuhnya saat ini. Berkembangnya body dissatisfaction pada dewasa awal dapat menyebabkan rendahnya kepercayaan diri hingga depresi. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian dengan metode tinjauan sistematis terhadap 5 literatur yang meneliti mengenai sosial media dengan body dissatisfaction. Beragam literatur yang ada pada penelitian ini diperoleh melalui basis pencarian data science direct dan springer link. Pencarian dilakukan dengan memasukkan kata kunci “Social Media” and “Body Dissastifaction” and “Young Adults”. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran umum mengenai sosial media dan hubungannya dengan body dissatisfaction pada dewasa awal. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa sosial media terbukti memiliki hubungan positif dengan body dissatisfaction. Selain itu diketahui faktor lain yang menguatkan hubungan sosial media dengan body dissatisfaction dan faktor yang dapat mencegah meningkatnya body dissatisfaction.Penelitian lebih lanjut dibutuhkan untuk memperbaiki kelemahan yang ada pada penelitian ini.
