Social media use, body image, and psychological well-being are all intricately correlated, and this has ramifications for how people view themselves in the digital era. Key findings from several research examining this link and its ramifications are summarized in this abstract. Studies have repeatedly shown that exposure to idealized pictures on social media is associated with higher levels of body dissatisfaction, which is fueled by inclinations toward self-objectification and social comparison. Furthermore, the frequency of appearance-focused information on social media has been linked to disordered eating habits and poor body image outcomes, especially on picture-based platforms. Self-objectification theory and social comparison theory are two theoretical frameworks that provide insights into the underlying mechanisms causing these relationships. Social media exposure to body positivity content has demonstrated potential in promoting good body image outcomes, especially among women, despite its negative impacts. Nevertheless, in the midst of the overpowering emphasis on idealized beauty standards, such content continues to be rare. The necessity for gender- inclusive therapies is highlighted by the evidence of gender variations in social media use and its effects on body satisfaction. In order to address the effects of social media on psychological health and body image, comprehensive strategies are needed, including therapies that focus on internalizing appearance standards and consuming material. Interventions to encourage healthy media consumption habits and promote body acceptance in the digital age can be designed by understanding the complicated interplay between body image satisfaction and social media use.
