The Paradoxical Influence of Social Media Use on Disordered Eating Behaviors and Recovery

Social media is an integral part of daily functioning in modern society. This has increased exposure to both potentially harmful and beneficial content. The aim of this research project was to understand the paradoxical relationship social media use has with disordered eating behaviors and recovery. It considered whether exposure to appearance-ideal content (Pro-Ana, fitspiration, etc.) or body acceptance content (#EDRecovery, body positivity, etc.) impacts body image and thought patterns regarding oneself. Analyses of surveys and self-reports were examined to understand how social media influences opposite ends of the disordered eating spectrum.
