Less than 10 minutes of TikTok may be enough to have a negative impact on women's body image, new research shows.The study, which sought to fill a gap in research on how TikTok affects women's body standards and self-image, found that pro-anorexia content is particularly harmful to viewers.Researchers at Charles Sturt University in Australia collected data from 273 women between the ages of 18 and 28.
Both groups took questionnaires about eating habits and perception of body image.Both groups reported having lower body image satisfaction after watching the videos, but those who had watched pro-anorexia content reported a larger dip in satisfaction and were more likely to internalize unrealistic body standards. The study also showed, however, that a greater daily exposure to TikTok did not contribute to increased disordered eating behavior.
