Selective Self-Presentation and Social Comparison Through Photographs on Social Networking Sites
Abstract
Through social media and camera phones, users enact selective self-presentation as they choose, edit, and post photographs of themselves (such as selfies) to social networking sites for an imagined audience. Photos typically focus on users' physical appearance, which may compound existing sociocultural pressures about body image. We identified users of social networking sites among a nationally representative U.S. sample (N = 1,686) and examined women's and men's photo-related behavior, including posting photos, editing photos, and feelings after engaging in upward and downward social comparison with others' photos on social networking sites. We identified some sex differences: women edited photos more frequently and felt worse after upward social comparison than men. Body image and body comparison tendency mediated these effects.

“The visual attention directed toward body appearance (for example, in a mirror or pictures) might trigger behaviors such as body monitoring, potentially related to self-objectification and body shame experiences (Butkowski et al., 2019; De Vries & Peter, 2013; Fox & Vendemia, 2016; Vandenbosch & Eggermont, 2012).”

“Rudd and Lennon (2000) stated that feelings of shame related to physical appearance could promote higher engagement in several behaviors of body improvement (such as body image control in photos) to improve their acceptance and achievement of social goals (Fox & Vendemia, 2016), often normalizing risky behaviors.”

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.
