Can time spent on social media affect thin-ideal internalisation, objectified body consciousness and exercise motivation in women?
Open accessAbstract
The primary aim of this study was to investigate the effect of exposure to social media on ideal body image, awareness of one’s body and motivation to exercise. Participants completed a measure of Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest use, after which they proceeded to complete measures of thin-ideal internalisation, exercise motivation and objectified body consciousness. One hundred female students at a UK university, aged between 18 and 52 years, completed the measures described, with age weight and height used as covariates. Multivariate analysis of covariance revealed that time spent on social media was related to levels of thin-ideal internalisation, objectified body consciousness and motivation to exercise. Exposure to social media has negative effects on female’s perceptions of their ideal beauty and their own body as well as on motivation to engage in exercise.

The amount of time spent on SNS was associated with greater body-objectification.
“In this regard, recent studies reported that the amount of time spent on SNS was associated with greater body-objectification (Andrew, Tiggemann, & Clark, 2016; Barzoki, Mohtasham, Shahidi, & Tavakol, 2017; Graff & Czarnomska, 2019; Melioli, Rodgers, Rodrigues, & Chabrol, 2015; Slater, & Tiggemann, 2015; Vandenbosch & Eggermont, 2012, 2015).”

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.
