Investigating the impact of using Instagram on the evaluation of body image among university students
Abstract
One of the newest areas of study in the social sciences and health is body management and body image. Body image and negative body satisfaction can have numerous consequences on people's function. This is especially important for young people. The use of new media in Iran, especially Instagram, has increased the importance of the body category for young people. The study was based on a quantitative and cross-sectional approach. The study method was a survey type. The statistical population included Shiraz Medical Sciences University students, and the sample size was calculated to be 400 subjects. Sampling was done by simple random sampling, and SPSS analyzed data. The results showed a significant negative relationship between age and body image. There was also a significant difference between men and women in appearance evaluation among pharmacy, dentistry and medicine, and other students. Overall, it seems that weight concerns most students in terms of body image. Students' satisfaction is high for almost all areas of the body.
