#Bopo: Enhancing body image through body positive social media-evidence to date and research directions

Rachel F. Rodgers et al.

Summary: Body positive content aims to disrupt the monopoly of idealized appearance-focused media, encourage individuals to adopt a positive stance towards their bodies, and reject harmful appearance ideals. Research suggests that body positive social media content has the potential to benefit body image by reducing state appearance comparison. However, efforts to identify individual-level moderators and the focus on comparative effects with idealized social media content and young women have limitations. Further research is needed to bridge the gaps and understand which types of body positive social media content can be most effective in preventing and reducing body image concerns.

Social media and body image: Recent trends and future directions

Laura Vandenbosch et al.

Summary: This review examines recent trends in social media and body image research, focusing on different social media platforms, unique features of social media, and potential positive influences on body image.
