Sheikh, Arzoo (2023) Instagram unfiltered: how young women who self-identify as body-dissatisfied experience Instagram : an interpretative phenomenological analysis. Doctoral thesis, London Metropolitan University.

Abstract

With the rise of social networking sites (SNSs), including the increasingly popular image-based platform Instagram, women have been shown to experience self-objectification, anxiety and low mood, among other psychological outcomes.
