Whether we'd like to admit it or not, social media is shaping our concept of beauty. We are, for better or worse, constantly consuming images posted online. As a result, social media and body image - the way we perceive our own physical appearance - have become inextricably linked. Social media influences how we look at ourselves both positively and negatively, and it's important that we understand the effects in order to limit their impact on our mental health.

Positive Effects of Social Media on Body Image

Social media can positively impact body image in a number of ways. Health and wellness, fitness, and plant-based food accounts can all be inspirational models for some users. Through these frameworks, social media users can maintain a healthy and positive outlook on their body image.

Recently, the organization Eating Disorder Hope detailed how social media can potentially benefit the way women feel about their body image. They said the landscape of body positivity on the internet has created a more understanding and inclusive space for all body types. As a result, "body image advocacy on social media can make a huge impact on individuals actively struggling with eating disorders." Further, social media can help some users navigate the heavily stigmatized topic of body image with different support groups available across different platforms.

Similarly, Sarah Gervais, Ph.D. of Psychology Today illustrated that Instagram has the ability to empower users because the platform has made eating disorder-specific keywords or hashtags unsearchable. When these search terms are excluded, people can focus on healthier representations of bodies on social media. This is a great example of how body image and social media don't always have to have negative connotations.

Beth Daley, writing for the Conversation, reported on research she'd recently conducted on body positivity and social media. The study "found that brief exposure to body-positive Instagram posts resulted in improved body image and mood in young women, compared to idealized and appearance-neutral posts."

At the same time, though, Daley also discovered the surveyed women thought about their bodies more in general. In other words, body positivity-oriented posts could boost women's self-esteem, but the content would also put women into a position of thinking about their physical appearance even more.

The Psychology of Social Media

Because of the trend of extended use, researchers are joining the field to analyze the psychology of social media in our constantly connected culture. Learn more in our latest guide.

How Does Social Media Affect Body Image Negatively?

Although it can have a positive effect on the mental health of some of its users, early research for the most part indicates that social media negatively affects people's perception of their body image.

Project Know, a nonprofit organization designed to help people with addictive behaviors, explored how social media can exacerbate eating disorders and may trigger or worsen "certain genetic or psychological predispositions." While social media hasn't been definitively proven to cause psychological disorders, it can intensify pre-existing mental health conditions.

Continuing in this vein, an article out of the journal Body Image explained that young women often compare their appearances negatively with other women on Facebook. The study surveyed 227 female college students and found that "young women who spend more time on Facebook may feel more concerned about their body because they compare their appearance to others (especially to peers)." This means there are profound psychological consequences for women's body image when they compare their physical appearances to others.

The ways that people compare their bodies to images they see in the media has been an increasingly important topic for researchers. Deanna Puglia, a burgeoning specialist in media and journalism, provided just as much. She stated "social media is a new avenue for individuals to engage in maladaptive body comparison processes, creating a need for health communication and behavior change interventions that address this issue, especially among vulnerable populations." The call for more research should be heeded, since more and more young women compare their bodies to altered versions of bodies. It is easy to see the impact social media and body image have in society today.

A bombshell study conducted by the Florida House Experience, a healthcare institution, uncovered that both women and men compare their bodies with those in the media. The survey included 1,000 men and women and focused on their body image, confidence, and the media. It found that 87% of women and 65% of men compare their bodies to images they consume on social and traditional media. In that comparison, a stunning 50% of women and 37% of men compare their bodies unfavorably.

An article in Time outlined how this unfavorable self-concept can lead to other issues because of an excess of editing software. "Thanks to an array of free applications, selfie-holics now have the power to alter their bodies in pictures in a way that's practically on par with makeup and other beauty products." The article went on to say that painstakingly editing photos can lead to a false sense of control where users feel as if they can alter their bodies to get more positive attention. This disconnect between perception and reality increases the distance between what users feel about themselves in real life and what they think about their online persona.

Users need to be aware of the negative effects of social media on body image. The consequences can be devastating on the mental health of users, which makes it absolutely necessary that the psychology of social media receives more and more attention.

How to Prevent Body Image Issues

As far as preventative measures and treatment for a negative body image caused by social media, a lot more research needs to be done. Scholars and psychologists haven't pinpointed the best practices for screening and treating mental health problems associated with social media. Still, some researchers have offered tips on how to maintain a positive body image in the world of social media.

The BBC recently offered some pretty relatable advice: "Put down your phone." At the same time, though, they suggested that abandoning social media platforms and accounts altogether might prove too difficult for most.

Instead, the BBC recommended social media users change the focus of their feeds and followers. Rather than following celebrities with heavily edited photos, "finding inspiring landscapes, delicious food, and cute dogs to fill your Instagram feed might just help you remember there's more to life than what you look like." While this isn't a scientifically proven treatment method, it's definitely a step in the right direction.

Moreover, a piece in Forbes offered tips for how social media users can maintain a positive outlook on their body image, including:

Unfollow or unfriend accounts that try to sell you products with their bodies.

Keep up with accounts that promote healthy living with factual information.

Tap into the way body positive influencers treat body image.

Avoid speaking negatively about your body, especially in real-life.

Disconnect from social media to be active.

Social media users should remember to treat their self-esteem seriously. The organization Better Help, which works to provide affordable counseling services, said, "A negative body image and low self-esteem can lead to other mental health issues such as anxiety and depression." They recommended that, for the best long-term results, social media users struggling with body image seek help from mental health professionals.

Other researchers are looking to the future for preventative practices. An article appearing on the National Eating Disorders Collaboration's website recommended we " educate young people on appropriate social media use and to increase awareness that social media may not always reflect reality." Educational measures can inform young people on the pitfalls of cyberbullying, the consequences of unfair or unethical body image comparisons, and the benefits of digital critical thinking tools.

One of the best ways to approach this issue is to learn more. Social media will only continue to present unexpected mental health challenges, particularly on the way we perceive our own body image. Because research in this field is on the rise, it's time to consider concentrating on the psychological effects of social media by earning an online bachelor's in psychology. This degree is designed to educate students in the breadth and depth of psychological theories and research with special emphasis on how these areas relate to the real world.

King University offers a fully online B.S. in Psychology that allows students to progress through the degree path comfortably and at their own pace, sometimes as quickly as in 16 months. Our program allows students to work within a diagnostic framework and learn about evidence-based techniques that can be immediately applied to your job.

Young women who actively engage with social media images of friends who they think are more attractive than themselves report feeling worse about their own appearance afterward, a York University study shows.

It's no secret that social media can blur the lines on what's real and what's fantasy, but new research at York's Faculty of Health now shows how young women interact with images online can affect how they feel about their own bodies.

The research entitled "The effects of active social media engagement with peers on body image in young women" appears in the journal Body Image. The study was conducted by Jennifer Mills, associate professor in the Department of Psychology and Jacqueline Hogue, a PhD student in the department's Clinical Program. It focused on young women, aged 18 to 27 years old, who liked or commented on photos of people they deemed to be more attractive than themselves.

"The results showed that these young adult women felt more dissatisfied with their bodies," says Mills. "They felt worse about their own appearance after looking at social media pages of someone that they perceived to be more attractive than them. Even if they felt bad about themselves before they came into the study, on average, they still felt worse after completing the task."

The research included 118 female undergraduate students from diverse ethnic backgrounds. Participants reported their age, ethnicity, whether English was their first language, and years of post-secondary education in an online questionnaire six weeks before the experiment. Each participant was given a consent form and questionnaire where they had to indicate using a specific scale how satisfied or dissatisfied they were with their appearance or body image.

Participants were then randomly assigned into one of two experimental conditions. One group of participants were asked to log into Facebook and Instagram for a period of five or more minutes and find one peer that was the same age who they felt was more attractive than themselves. After looking at the photos, each participant was asked to leave a comment of their choice. In the control group, participants were asked to do the same task except this time comment on a post of a family member whom they did not think was more attractive than themselves. The data showed that participants' views of their own appearance were not affected when interacting with their family members.

"I think in a lot of cases, young women who post to social media are hoping to get positive reinforcement for what they're posting and the way in which women use social media is more appearance-based than it is for men."

Mills said particularly in this age group, 18 to mid-20's, appearance is very important, and women care a great deal about how they are perceived by other people. They are also most likely to use social media.

"When we compare ourselves to other people, that has the potential to affect the valuation of ourselves," says Mills. We really need to educate young people on how social media use could be making them feel about themselves and how this could even be linked to stringent dieting, eating disorders or excessive exercise. There are people who may be triggered by social media and who are especially vulnerable."

Campaign overview

Cybersmile and Claire's worked together to develop an awareness based fundraising campaign for Bullying Prevention Month with the aim of inspiring young people to follow their dreams without letting bullies and online negativity stop them from doing what they love. The #DreamBigWithClaires campaign also educated children and teenagers about the effects of cyberbullying and how to ask for help when dealing with difficult situations online.

Prior to the launch of the campaign, Cybersmile and Claire's worked proactively behind-the-scenes to create a series of co-branded assets that included quote cards and graphics for use on both websites and for distribution via multiple social media platforms. Claire's was also featured prominently on Cybersmile's social media headers as well as occupying the primary banner position on the official Cybersmile website throughout the month of October.

Launched at the start of October 2017, the campaign shared the co-branded, inspiring and educational quotes and assets on social media throughout the month which also included a bespoke content hub on the Claire's website promoting Cybersmile's Golden Rules for navigating a safe and positive online life. The hashtag #DreamBigWithClaires was used to create a sense of community which offered everybody a chance to be involved in the campaign. Stores across North America, Canada, Europe and the U.K. took part in the campaign with in-store decorative assets and by offering customers the opportunity to support the campaign through a donation at the point of sale.

As part of the campaign, Cybersmile and Claire's launched a #DreamBigWithClaires giveaway. The prize was made up of a number of popular Claire's products and also included signed celebrity t-shirts and official Cybersmile merchandise.

Co-branded Positive Playlists from Cybersmile's celebrity ambassadors were also released throughout the duration of the campaign from the likes of Normani, Johnny and Lauren Orlando, and Paige Spiranac.

The campaign has enabled Cybersmile to help over 43,000 children affected by cyberbullying and online abuse.

Claire's feedback on campaign

Claire's decided to choose Cybersmile as the charity partner for the campaign due to the strong brand and demographics alignment. Cybersmile was considered the best organization for the important message that the retailer wanted to send out to young audiences around the world.

"We've teamed up with a leading international anti-bullying charity, Cybersmile, to tackle this issue. Here at Claire's we're dedicated to drawing attention to the harmful effects of cyberbullying and providing expert advice and support to those affected around the globe. Together with Cybersmile, we're working to build a safer and friendlier digital community, where young people are able to follow their dreams and achieve their goals without the threat of online abuse."

Claire's website statement

Claire's proactively promoted the partnership and released a series of social media posts and supporting blogs. Ahead of the Bullying Prevention Month campaign, the retailer also created signage to help support Claire's customers in-store, showing them how to donate and where they could find out more about dealing with cyberbullying and online negativity.

"With most of our customers being exposed to the social media world, where they can sadly experience cyberbullying or negativity online, we are really pleased to be working alongside Cybersmile throughout October. Here at Claire's we believe in all our girls to be able to follow their dreams, think big and positively encourage each other whether it's through social media or in person making our #DreamBigWithClaires campaign the perfect platform to speak to our girls against cyberbullying, allowing our valuable customers to know we are there for them and part of a great cause."

Hind Palmer, Claire's Global Brand Marketing & PR Director

The campaign produced a stream of positive and educational messages for Claire's customers, while the giveaway offered everybody the chance to be involved in the campaign without geographical limitation - opening up the campaign to the rest of the world. This gave Claire's an opportunity to showcase some of their new and existing products to multiple territories.

Social conversation

Internet users around the world were able to participate in the #DreamBigWithClaires online activities. Although the campaign was primarily aimed at children and young teenagers - parents, and young adults were also very keen to participate. With the release of several Positive Playlists, new audiences were introduced to Claire's and Cybersmile - and were engaged in a fun, uplifting campaign where they could also appreciate the favorite songs of their idols - who also promoted the campaign.

Campaign overview

Cybersmile and Rimmel London launched a global campaign to create awareness of beauty cyberbullying and its effects on people of all ages.

Ahead of its official launch, Cybersmile and Rimmel London worked together on developing the concept for an impactful campaign to raise awareness of the problem through social media and the wider web. A script was developed and then a production was set into motion and shot on location in a studio setting. A number of Rimmel London Ambassadors, social media influencers and beauty bloggers that had personally experienced beauty cyberbullying took part in the shoot.

The mission of the #IWillNotBeDeleted campaign was to demonstrate the devastating impact that abusive comments can have on people, while creating a narrative that would empower people to recognize and celebrate their own beauty. Additional issues addressed by the campaign included prejudice, discrimination, gender and equality.

In October 2018, the video was launched ahead of Anti-Bullying Week following a special launch event in London with Rimmel Ambassadors Cara Delevingne and Rita Ora. At the event, it was also announced that Rimmel London would be supporting the development of a groundbreaking artificial intelligence support product, named Cybersmile Assistant. The AI smart assistant would help people with issues related to anxiety, cyberbullying, depression, eating disorders, mental health and more.

Rimmel's feedback on the campaign

Rimmel London chose to partner with Cybersmile for its unique perspective and experience with beauty cyberbullying. Cybersmile was considered the best alignment for the campaign in raising awareness of the problem, but also for finding solutions that could be implemented at scale to users around the world.

"At Rimmel, we have a clear purpose as a brand to inspire people to experiment and express themselves through make-up. Beauty cyberbullying is on the rise and the white paper that we publish today includes some truly shocking findings. We spoke with several different organizations but immediately felt on the same page with Cybersmile. They work to promote diversity and inclusion by building a safer, more positive digital community. The fact that their team had direct experience with Beauty Cyberbullying was also important for us as it meant that they understood the issue and were able to bring us valuable insight not only on the issue itself but also on how to best tackle it and do something concrete to help."

Sara Wolverson, VP of Rimmel Global Marketing

In addition to announcing the launch of Cybersmile Assistant, the campaign event was also used to launch a Beauty Cyberbullying Toolkit to help and empower those affected by any kind of bullying or abuse aimed at their appearance or identity.

Cybersmile and Rimmel London worked together to promote the campaign on social media, with various influencers and celebrities supporting the campaign message. Below you can see a small selection of comments from users on Twitter who engaged with the campaign:
