Abstract in brief

  • The study used experience sampling via smartphones to investigate how exposure to thinspiration and fitspiration content affects body satisfaction and emotional well-being in college students, finding that women and men encounter these types of content frequently, with women experiencing more exposure.
  • Exposure to thinspiration was linked to decreased body satisfaction, lower positive feelings, and higher negative feelings, while fitspiration exposure was associated with lower body satisfaction and reduced positive feelings but not increased negative feelings.
  • The findings suggest that both types of exposure, especially to thinspiration, may negatively impact emotional health and body image in everyday life for young adults.]
