| Summary: | Social media which has been used to define one’s beauty as something objective and difficult
to achieve especially among young adults who often use this medium eventually leads to social
comparison that cause body dissatisfaction and eating disorder behavior. Therefore, this study
is conducted to identify the relationship between social media usage, body image concern and
eating disorder behavior among young adults which involved 510 students from public
universities located in Selangor. Survey method was used in this study and the questionnaires
were distributed online by the researcher. Results show significant relationship between social
media usage, body image concern and eating disorder behavior. However, this study found that
social media does not play a major influence on body image concern and eating disorder
behavior. These findings has indirectly supported the theories used in this study such as
sociocultural theory, social comparison theory and objectification theory. |
