Social media, especially TikTok, I feed them, worry on the rise to the image of the body of the young people, particularly young women. A recent study looked at the impact of the content, in conjunction with the diet extreme weight loss and exercise more intense the pleasure of the body.
The results show that in just eight minutes, the exposure to these videos, they are sufficient to cause an adverse effect to the delay in the vetëperceptimin of the parts of the body.
The study included 273 women, aged from 18 to 28 years of age, divided into two groups. Part one looked at the contents of TikTok to promote practices, restrictive eating, and the “fitspiration”, and the other looking at the video of a very normal, such as those for cooking, and pets. The results were clear: both groups reported a decrease in satisfaction in the body, but is the first to suffer a decline significantly larger. Furthermore, these participants showed a heart to be added to the standards to an unrealistic beauty.
The interior of the standards of beauty, it is a process in which a person accepts and adopts the models of the aesthetic to be imposed from outside, as well as their own. This phenomenon is particularly dangerous because, for the adopted these ideals, self-esteem, and perception of the body and can worsen dramatically. While the exposure to social media does not lead always to the destruction of a sudden, it përbrendësimi of the messages, and toxic, which leads to negative consequences for sustainability.
An essential aspect of the research was the observation of how the use of the extend of the TikTok could be related to the behavior of the extra-ordinary of eating. The participants who used the app for more than a couple of hours in the day, your symptoms are the most frequent disorder of eating than of those who use it less and less. Although the difference was not statistically significant, these results suggest that prolonged exposure to the contents of the malicious code could contribute to disorders of eating.
These findings fit into a broader context in which the disclosure of the contents of the malicious code on social media is more and more difficult to control. The algorithm of TikTok, which is personalizon the contents of the display based on the preferences of the users, it may expose people to inadvertently share the video to promote the ideal of the twisted bodies, even when they are not looking for them in an active way. This phenomenon is particularly acute, given that a lot of young people spend the greatest part of the time in the platform, not having full control over the content they see."
In this context, it is clear the importance of the regulation, the more severe the social media, in order to protect young people from exposure to the messages on the computer. However, it is equally essential to promote the awareness, the majority of the users on how to avoid content that can be potentially harmful. It is interesting to note that, as well as issues that relate to the overall image of the body can be linked to a discussion of the relevant, such as the growth of the narcizmit of the society, and the need to combat the embarrassment of the body, and sexual harassment in the platforms of digital.
In the end, the provision of a safe environment, and health on the internet for young people requires a joint effort between regulators, platforms and social tv users, to counter the negative effect of the material, which may be potentially harmful to the.
