Photo Investment, Manipulation, and Eating Disorders

Photo investment and manipulation are related to eating concerns in adolescent girls, as well as bulimic symptomology and anorexia nervosa. The relationship between social media variables and body image concerns are consistent across male and females, including adolescents. Adolescent boys and girls who exert effort in choosing a selfie to post, editing them, and monitoring the comments/likes engage in pervasive appearance-based social media behaviors that meet criteria for an eating disorder.
