5. Review at least one source
With social media and networking sites becoming increasingly popular, the influence these media and sites can have on the body image of young persons deserves further investigation. Building on a recent study that revealed that young girls using Facebook had significantly more body image concerns than non-users, this study examines the influence of the use of social networking sites on the body image of 100 university students aged 18-25.The study used the quantitative method where participants completed online surveys about their use of social media over four months. Results of this study found that there was a link between social media and body image especially amongst girls.
