ImpactModerate impact

The discussions highlight that this review has meaningful implications for understanding SNS effects and shaping future research, though some dismiss simplistic claims about 'washing away' viruses or overgeneralization.

Abstract in brief

  • A systematic review of 20 peer-reviewed studies found that social networking site (SNS) use is linked to negative impacts on body image and disordered eating, especially activities like viewing/uploading photos and seeking negative feedback.
  • Research suggests that appearance-based social comparisons on SNSs mediate the relationship between SNS use and body image or eating concerns, but gender does not significantly influence this relationship.
  • While current studies mainly show correlational evidence of SNS's harmful effects, there is a need for more longitudinal and experimental research to better understand the underlying processes and causality.]
