Utdata (utdrag)
H1: Adolescents who spend more daily time on image-focused social media will report lower body-image satisfaction than those who spend less time. H2: The negative relationship between image-focused social media use and body-image satisfaction will be stronger for adolescents with lower baseline self-esteem. H3: Following appearance-focused accounts will predict greater upward social comparison, which in turn predicts lower body-image satisfaction. Each is grounded in Social Comparison Theory's premise that exposure to idealized images drives unfavorable self-evaluation.
