“Adolescents with higher levels of internalization, comparison, and body dissatisfaction may search for and interact with idealized content on social media to satisfy their inclination toward appearance ideals.”

“While appearance activity can contribute to later body dissatisfaction (de Valle et al., 2021), body dissatisfaction, along with internalization and appearance comparison, may also drive adolescents to engage more frequently in appearance activity.”

In the citing paper
“In the decades since the theories above were introduced, SM has become a primary source through which young women receive and transmit information about beauty standards and engage in self-objectification and social comparison (Perloff, 2014; Rodgers, 2016).”

In the citing paper
“One of the primary ways that SM image exposure affects adolescents' body image and mental health is through social comparison (see Perloff, 2014; Rodgers, 2016).”

“a hypothesised feedback loop between the two reinforces the addictive nature of social media and sustained motivations for use despite potentially adverse outcomes.”

Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
The cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“According to Rodgers (2016), both browsing idealized content and actively creating idealized self-presentations can contribute to body dissatisfaction, with the internalization of and comparison to appearance ideals playing a significant mediating role (Rodgers et al., 2020).”
From Navigating Beauty Standards on Social Media: Impact of Appearance Activity on Adolescents’ Body Dissatisfaction (2025) · cites this paper as Rodgers, 2016
The cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“While exposure to idealized bodies reinforces internalization and appearance comparisons, as suggested by the original model (Thompson et al., 1999), posting idealized versions of oneself (or others) on social media can emphasize the gap between the ideal and actual appearance, further contributing to body dissatisfaction (Rodgers, 2016).”

The cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“Bearing in mind the inconsistency of these associations, such results potentially hint at the possible bidirectional interplay between appearance activity on social media and body image, as well as at a sequential, rather than solely parallel role, of the Tripartite Influence Model’s (Thompson et al., 1999) mediating processes (Rodgers, 2016).”

In the citing paper
“The need to account for individual moderators, such as different motivations for internet use (e.g., seeking appearance feedback, social support) has already been emphasized (Rodgers, 2016).”

In the citing paper
“As proposed by Rodgers (2016), SM may increase the pressure to be thin, which can lead to thin-ideal internalization and social comparison, and in turn, body dissatisfaction and disordered eating.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
