Online social media platforms (including the creation of content and peer interactions) provide a novel and highly accessible medium for male and female individuals' socializing with self-objectification experiences and objectified body consciousness.
“Therefore, ubiquitous online social media are increasingly replacing traditional mass media, and the use of online platforms (including the creation of content and peer interactions) seems to provide a novel and highly accessible medium for male and female individuals' socializing with self-objectification experiences and objectified body consciousness (Caso et al., 2019; Cohen et al., 2018; De V”

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.
