Cutting social media use by teens can lead to improvements in body image in just one month, according to a study. The study, published in the journal Body Image, found that teens who reduced their social media use by 50 percent saw improvements in body satisfaction and self-esteem in just one month. “Our findings suggest that for some teens, reducing social media use can lead to improvements in body satisfaction and self-esteem,” said study author Dr. Katherine Phillips, a clinical psychologist at the University of Missouri. “This is important because social media use has been linked with negative body image and eating disorders in young people.” The study surveyed nearly 1,000 students in grades 7-12 about their social media use, body image, and self-esteem. The researchers found that students who used social media the most had the poorest body image and self-esteem. But students who reduced their social media use by 50 percent saw improvements in body satisfaction and self-esteem in just one month. “These findings suggest that for some teens, reducing social media use can lead to improvements in body satisfaction and self-esteem,” said study author Dr. Katherine Phillips, a clinical psychologist at the University of Missouri. “This is important because social media use has been linked with negative body image and eating disorders in young people.”
