Beauty Standards in Cyberspace: Implications of Social Media onBody Perception
Isi Artikel Utama
Abstrak
Social media has played a significant role in shaping beauty standards that affect individual body perceptions. Platforms such as Instagram, TikTok and Facebook often present unrealistic images of idealized bodies, which can lead to body dissatisfaction and psychological disorders. The use of filters and digital image editing further exacerbates this problem, creating physical appearance anxiety. Social media algorithms also reinforce beauty standards that do not reflect physical diversity, limiting views of real beauty. Movements such as #bodypositive are emerging to challenge beauty stereotypes and promote more inclusive body acceptance. This study aims to explore the impact of social media on body perceptions and how beauty standards shaped online affect individuals in real life. The results of this study point to the need for greater awareness of the importance of more diverse body representations on digital platforms. Education and awareness about self-acceptance and diversity are crucial to shaping healthy body perceptions among social media users.
