This experimental study examined the impact of attaching self-disclaimer captions (i.e., account holder's captions about the inauthenticity of their appearance) to idealized and edited social media images on 18- to 25-year-old Australian women's (N= 201) body dissatisfaction, mood, perceived realism of social media images, appearance comparisons, and impressions of the user. Participants were shown images of either: (1) an attractive woman, (2) the same woman with self-disclaimer captions, or (3) appearance-neutral images. Self-disclaimers did not ameliorate the higher body dissatisfaction and negative mood experienced by women who viewed idealized images. Images with self-disclaimers were also not perceived as less realistic, nor did women compare themselves less to these images than women who viewed the same images without self-disclaimers. The idealized woman in the images was, however, perceived as less warm, but equally moral and competent when viewed with self-disclaimers. These results suggest that self-disclaimers may not be effective at protecting young women from the harmful effects of unrealistic appearance ideals on social media. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd.
