Image is AI generated. The inquiry question I will be answering is the change in the economy after a change in housing price. In the economy when hosing prices increase there is a wealth effect (1) where consumer spending increases and paying mortgagee decreases because their house increases in value […]
Platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok have evolved beyond being simple displays of idealized visuals; they serve as battlegrounds for vigorous social comparison, where users perpetually assess their value against digitally improved representations of others. This omnipresent digital landscape fosters a culture of continuous observation and evaluation, where body image is endlessly judged against an ideal of curated perfection. The effects of this paradigm shift are considerable, influencing body image contentment and, in turn, mental health. Research indicates a complicated link between social media involvement and body image issues, showing that greater social media activity correlates with more body dissatisfaction, lower self-esteem, and increased anxiety regarding physical appearance. This trend is especially noticeable among teenagers and young adults, who represent a significant portion of social media users and are at a crucial phase in forming their self-identity and body image. (1) The desire for likes and validation on social media is grounded in fundamental human desires. Humans are naturally social creatures that desire acceptance and validation from those around them. This idea originates from our earliest forebears, who depended on social connections for their survival. The desire for social interaction has led to the emergence of a new platform: social media. (2)Social media addresses this need by offering immediate responses via likes, comments, and shares. Every notification prompts a release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter linked to pleasure and reward. This resembles the wave of contentment a person often experiences when they triumph in a game or are given praise. The promptness of this feedback is crucial, as it delivers an almost immediate feeling of achievement and validation. (2)Nevertheless, this pattern of pursuing validation can lead to both beneficial and detrimental outcomes. On one side, it can create a feeling of community and connection, especially for individuals who might feel alone in the real world. Conversely, it may result in an unhealthy fixation on online validation, frequently sacrificing genuine relationships and experiences in the real world. (2)Additionally, the effects of these likes and shares are both psychological and physiological. The dopamine triggered by social media engagement can foster an addiction, causing users to rely on these online validations for their self-esteem. This can result in what psychologists refer to as ‘reward dependency’, in which a person’s mood and self-worth become linked to the acquisition of these digital rewards. (2) When you already sense that your life is insufficient, social media merely intensifies what others possess and what is thriving for them. Ultimately, numerous individuals utilize their social media accounts to present an idealized version of themselves through selectively curated images, frequently featuring various filters. Consequently, you might start to feel more negatively about yourself. (3)Social media may also contribute to stress in your everyday life, particularly when assessing your own posts. Whenever you share a photo or status update, you may feel anxious about the likes, shares, and comments your post will receive. This fixation on visibility provides another chance for comparison, prompting you to question why another individual’s photos or material received more attention and favorable responses than yours. (3) As social media platforms evolve, they become increasingly interactive and more “addictive,” leading to a rise in opportunities for social comparison. This may also heighten the possible repercussions: depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, negative body image, and unhealthy eating habits. While it may be unrelated, it is important to highlight that mental health trends (such as depression, anxiety, and body image problems) among youth deteriorated during the same timeframe that teen smartphone and social media usage rose. Creating clear connections between social media usage and broader mental health patterns is difficult for various reasons, but it is evident that extensive negative social comparison probably contributes to these trends. (4)This is due to the fact that fabricating a fake persona on social media to gain likes or followers can make our real-life challenges appear even more daunting, causing us to overlook what is genuine. Even short interactions with social media can initiate social comparison, leading to lower self-assessments when individuals looked at profiles of healthy or accomplished people. (4) Individuals tend […]
