Abstract

This study experimentally tested the effects of taking a one-week break from social media (SM) on body image and self-esteem among young women. Female undergraduate students (N = 66) were randomly assigned to either take a one-week break from SM or continue their normal use (control condition). State self-esteem and body satisfaction were measured at baseline (Time 1) and one week later (Time 2). As predicted, participants in the break condition reported higher body satisfaction and higher state self-esteem (total, performance, social, and appearance domains) at Time 2 than did those in the control condition, controlling for Time 1 scores. The benefits of taking a break from SM on body satisfaction were especially pronounced for women with higher baseline levels of thin-ideal internalization. The findings demonstrate the short-term benefits of taking a break from SM for one week on self-esteem and body image among young women.

脱离圈子远离社交媒体一周,年轻女性的自尊和身体形象得到改善
本研究通过实验测试了暂停使用社交媒体一周对年轻女性身体形象和自尊的影响。女大学生(66 人)被随机分配到暂停使用社交媒体一周或继续正常使用社交媒体(对照组)。在基线(时间 1)和一周后(时间 2)测量了状态自尊和身体满意度。正如预测的那样,与对照组相比,中断使用 SM 的参与者在时间 2 报告了更高的身体满意度和更高的状态自尊(总分、成绩、社交和外表领域),控制了时间 1 的得分。对于瘦身理想内化基线水平较高的女性来说,暂停 SM 对身体满意度的益处尤其明显。研究结果表明,在短期内让年轻女性脱离 SM 一周对她们的自尊和身体形象都有好处。
