In my search for valid research sources i have found and article that really supports my question for my research paper which was how does instagram affect the female body image. or in other words how instagram makes women feel about their body. The first article i have is below.
Hendrickse, Joshua, et al. “Full Length Article: Instagram and College Women’s Body Image: Investigating the Roles of Appearance-Related Comparisons and Intrasexual Competition.” Computers in Human Behavior, vol. 74, Sept. 2017, pp. 92–100. EBSCOhost, doi:10.1016/j.chb.2017.04.027. In this article it discusses how women who interact with appearance related social media sites such as instagram feel about their body. It states that these women often experience body dissatisfaction and end up with food eating disorders. that women on these websites fall in love with the thin ideal that these sites promote. and that the thin ideal is getting smaller and smaller even though the women's body has gotten bigger in the last two decades. this website is credible and has provide specific studies that i will use in my research paper. it is also allows the average women to personally connect while reading this article. Its extremely relatable and easy to understand. The second article Im going to use is focusing on one study of females between the ages of 18-25 here in the united states and some women in Australia. Fardouly, Jasmine, et al. “Instagram Use and Young Women’s Body Image Concerns and Self-Objectification: Testing Mediational Pathways.” New Media & Society, vol. 20, no. 4, Apr. 2018, pp. 1380–1395. EBSCOhost, doi:10.1177/1461444817694499. this article discusses how women on these social media apps end up self-objectify and having body issues. how these women compare themselves to other women and how they compare themselves to celebrates. this all leads to eat disorders and an overall depression amongst young women. this article is emotionally moving and appeals to ethos. It also uses logic because it is a specific study amongst a small ranged age group.
