Sexually Objectifying Selfies: Gender Impression Management, Body Image Concern, and Appearance-related Social Comparisons

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this study was to empirically examine sexually objectifying selfies. Building my argument by drawing on data collected from FHE Health, Georgia Tech, LEWIS, Pew Research Center, PicMonkey, and Statista, I performed analyses and made estimates regarding ways of sharing selfies (%, by demographic profile), % of U.S. adults who have ever taken a selfie and uploaded it to a social media website (by gender), and number of selfies posted weekly (%, by gender). The structural equation modeling technique was used to test the research model.
