Another study shows the negative consequences of Mark Zuckerberg's social network. Thus, in this case, the study shows that Facebook has a negative influence on self-esteem.
We already know that the media, music icons, fashion, etc. They transmit physical stereotypes in society. But what about social networks like Facebook?
A coordinated research study between British and American scientists shows that the impact of social media may be even greater than that of traditional media.
The researchers studied the case of 881 young university students. They analyzed, among other factors, their habits, their diet, the exercise they did, the use of Facebook and the perception of their own image.
Finally, when they crossed the data, they concluded that spending time on Facebook was directly related to "more negative feelings" about their self-image In addition, the Women who were trying to lose weight spent more time on the social network paying attention to physical appearances.
Among the dangers pointed out is that the photos on social networks are of acquaintances and, therefore, more influential. Of course, they do not have to be real since photo retouching is a reality on Facebook.
The research found no problems around eating and the use of Facebook but scientists warn that in the end disorders occur indirectly.
