“Recent findings suggested that it is not only exposure to typical forms of media (i.e., television, magazines, etc.) but also social media (SM) that is creating these unattainable, media-reinforced, societal body ideals and, thus, potentially contributing to increased body dissatisfaction, decreased self-esteem, increased negative mood states, and increased disordered eating behaviours.”
