–Body Dysmorphic Disorder, Social Media Addiction, Young Female Adults

The purpose of this research is to study the relationship of social media addiction on body dysmorphic disorder among young adults. Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), or body dysmorphia, is a mental health condition where a person spends a lot of time worrying about flaws in their appearance. These flaws are often unnoticeable to others. Social media addiction includes defining characteristics such as being concerned about social media, having a strong motivation to use social media, and to devote so much time to social media it impairs other activities, jobs, studies, relationships, and psychological health and well-being (Andreassen, 2015). The objective of this study is to analyze the relationship between social media addiction and Body Dysmorphic Disorder. The range for this research would be 18 to 26 also known as young adults. Two different tests would be used in order to measure the score. The Bergen Social Media Scale developed by Dr. Cecilie Andraessen and his colleagues in the year 2016 will be used in the screening of social media addiction and non-social media addiction and the Body Dysmorphic Disorder Questionnaire developed by Sabina Brohede and her colleagues in the year 2013 will be used for the screening of Body Dysmorphic Disorder. In the following study it was found that there is positive correlation between social media addiction as there is a significantly positive correlation between the two variables.
