Abstract : The objective of this review paper is to analyze the existing literature on the impact of social media usage and assess the impact of promoting body image dissatisfaction among youth. A systematic review of 70 studies was conducted, focusing on research on both men and female . Findings reveal the negative effects of constantly seeing ‘perfect bodies’ on social media, highlighting increased feelings of dissatisfaction, especially among adolescents.
