1.Your best friends may just be your worst enemies,especially when it comes to young women checking out images of their friends on social media sites.
This is according to a recent study carried out by researchers at the Center for Emotional Health at Macquarie University,Australia.The study found that young women are much more likely to be affected by images of their friends on social media than those of celebrities(名人)in traditional media.
A hundred and fifty female undergraduate students were questioned in five daily surveys over a five-day period.The students were asked questions such as whether they had compared their appearance with someone were asked questions such as whether they had compared their appearance with someone else's,and whether they made that comparison after looking at social media,traditional media or in person.
Results showed that young women are more likely to compare their appearance with that of their peers'(同齡人的)images on social media than those of models'or movie stars'in traditional media.Most students thought others looked better than them on social media.This led some to diet and exercise,although the majority of those who did were not overweight and didn't need to do so.
The negative effect images of skinny models in mass media has on young women is a well-known source of concern throughout the world,but social media appear t make things worse.
Jasmine Fardouly,lead researcher in the study,explained why social media might be more damaging than traditional media.
"Celebrities may seem more distant and their appearance may have less influence than people you work with or see regularly,"she told The Guardian.
In Fardouly's opinion,people could unfollow or avoid those who post highly improved images of themselves.This may reduce how often people think others look more attractive than them on social media.
But more critical (批判的)thinking may also do the trick."When surfing social media,it may be helpful for people to stop and think about the motivation behind each post and question how realistic each image is,"Fardouly wrote on news site The Conversation.
