Studies have shown that social media has negatively affected how people view their outward appearance. However, most studies cater towards female adolescents so the decline in outer appearance has mostly been seen in females. Research has shown that the COVID pandemic has increased our online usage, with an estimated 94% of teens in developed countries being on some sort of social media, whether that is Instagram, Snapchat, or others like Facebook or Tiktok. With this increasing numbers, it seems that adolescents use social media as a “core means of self-presentation”. However, since social media is a glorified photo “dump” (meaning most images posted are the highlights of the photos), it creates a “gap” between how one’s perceived and ideal self, leading to concerns with their image, especially in adolescent girls.
