Abstract

Existing studies have reported on the potentially harmful effect of Instagram for women’s self esteem and body perception. This study investigates
the differences when women browse Instagram posts with images that have been
edited to look more conventionally attractive, and posts that include unedited images. Preliminary results from an online experiment (n = 400) suggest that
women who view edited images have lower self esteem and higher body image
concerns, but only if those women choose to “like” the posts. We describe an
ongoing follow-up laboratory study that uses EEG, alongside eye-tracking and
galvanic skin response, to analyze the psychological and physiological effects
when women view these two types of posts.
