This online experiment of US women (N = 118) takes a media psychology approach to understanding how fitness images on the social networking website Pinterest contribute to social comparison as well as intentions to engage in extreme weight-loss behaviors. Findings suggest that individuals who follow more fitness boards on Pinterest are more likely to report intentions to engage in extreme weight-loss behaviors. Additionally, endorsement of an ideal female body type was positively related to both social comparison and intentions to engage in extreme weight-loss behaviors.

Through 24 in-depth interviews, this study examines secondary school girls' self-presentation and peer comparison behaviors on social network sites where the girls posted self-portrait photographs or “selfies” and collected peer feedback in the forms of “likes,” “followers,” and comments. Results of thematic analysis reveal a gap between teenage girls' self-beliefs and perceived peer standards of beauty. Feelings of low self-esteem and insecurity underpinned their efforts in edited self-presentation and quest for peer recognition. Peers played multiple roles that included imaginary audiences, judges, vicarious learning sources, and comparison targets in shaping teenage girls' perceptions and presentation of beauty.

The aim of the present study was to qualitatively explore media and social media influences on body image and associated behaviors among young women in Japan, with a specific focus on body positive media content. Female university students in Japan (n = 29) participated in majority group and some individual interviews. Thematic analysis revealed four primary themes: (1) media appearance pressures: additive pressures of Japanese and Western ideals through globalization, (2) criticism of, resistance to, and negotiating appearance ideals, and (3) presence of body positivity in Japan, and (4) media as a background for interpersonal appearance pressures. High pressure towards thinness emerged, perceived as contributing to weight control behaviors that were calibrated to avoid being "unhealthy." Desire for greater body diversity in Japanese media emerged; however, findings suggest body positive messaging is scarce and mainly limited to high-profile celebrities.

This results in developmental and epistemic benefits for us and other people, also to ensure us from getting too detached from social reality but to navigate it more easily.
- Why is it bad?: the bias impedes the formation of well-founded beliefs, reduces people’s ability to correct their mistaken views => less reliable information processing, overconfidence => an illusion of knowledge.
parasocial relationships
A study in Finland consists of 23 young women representing older gen Z - they use sm constantly => significant role in their efforts to build identity. Since sm is so closely tied to the lives of gen-Zers, many marketing strategies have been set up where influencers are utilized as a bridge from marketers to teens. Referring to pr, if the viewer “knows” the endorser , such as having followed her on sm for a long time, will put trust in the endorser and the products she promotes.
They use sm to stay updated to what’s hot and what’s in, then further use it to express themselves to their peers. 
They look at celebs, find them relatable, then further on constructs their self-concepts. (McCracken, 1989)
Teens who feel a high need to belong are the ones who use sm and keen to transfer celebs images on themselves. (Escalass and Bettman, 2017)

]]> 2021-06-19 04:08:52 UTC https://padlet.com/thuylinhl/Bookmarks/wish/1615222911 Gen Z's approach to products and services via social compasses tramquynh2310 https://padlet.com/thuylinhl/Bookmarks/wish/1615520095 Key points:
1. Gen Z tend not to be loyal to any brand
- Some of the main criteria
+ Affordable
+ Online (How shopee always rcm us the same product with lower price - app's algorithm) 
+ Micro moments (buy anywhere, anytime)
+ Apps that offer one-time-purchase is declining. Subscription (monthly, quaterly, yearly) has replaced (ex: Netflix, Spotify, Grammarly, etc.)

2. Ethical compass 
- Thrifting is the new trend & gen Z is cancelling fast fashion brands
- Exclude and cancel influencers/ any Internet user if they use non-environmental friendly products.
- Ex: Soaps (brands have to change their products in order to break even/ cut losses because customers are moving to other brands with "green ingredients"

3. Services
- CRM is developing and businesses are highly focused on offer training programs
- Fast & cheap delivery (không sử dụng plastic để wrap nữa)
- One of the major approach of big brands: Refund, Demo (ex: when you are allowed to refund a product ppl are reassured - you can refund H&M shirt within 30 days)]]> 2021-06-19 14:57:04 UTC https://padlet.com/thuylinhl/Bookmarks/wish/1615520095 How truth is made a variable by social media agorithms thucngo1227 https://padlet.com/thuylinhl/Bookmarks/wish/1616106762 The Orwellian concept of truth shows that man increasingly use truth as an instrument to “transform reality into sth relative to his interests and function” - or, as Alan Harrington coined in Life in the Crystal Palace” through depicting life in a big America corporation, mobile truth. “If I work for a big corp which claims that its product is better than that of all competitors, the question whether this claim is justified or not in terms of ascertainable reality becomes irrelavent. What matters is that as long as I serve this particular corporation, this claim becomes my truth, and I decline to examine whether it is an objectively valid truth. In fact, if I change my job and move over to the corporation which was until now my competitor, I shall accept the new truth, that its producer is the best, and subjectively speaking, this will be as true as the old truth. In a system where reality has no objective existence, one who don’t believe in what millions do must be convinced that he is insane".

The "truth" that's distorted above does not just refer to the act of blatanly accepting opposite of the objective truth like 2 + 2 = 5, but to a larger extent the act of taking in blindly - without analysis and comparison with your own reasoning - ideals and perception that are embraced by the corporation. Nowadays, people all submit to one kind of "corporation" - the social media one. The "truths" they embrace are those made popular by Facebook agorithms, including not only beauty standards but what it means to be any kind of human at all.

- Subtitle: 
+ Our innate confirmation bias and its role in a social context (shaping, influence the society we live in)
+ What if this bias is perpeptuated far and wide, with phenomenal speed and strength by a friend every one of us casually kept aside - social media? -> How these algorithms  work, and will continue to work - because the more attention they can get from us, the more money the corporations make, and they simply cannot slow down on making money. (The Social Dilemma documentary will be very useful here)
+ This has molded the way we perceive, and thus our actions in a very profound manner. ]]> 2021-06-25 05:38:05 UTC https://padlet.com/thuylinhl/Bookmarks/wish/1624888537
