摘要
In light of extant research demonstrating that social media influences young women's body image ideals, the present research examines whether these findings extend to TikTok. Three types of appearance-related engagement on TikTok (i.e., leaving appearance-related comments on others' TikTok videos, following health/fitness TikTok accounts, and following celebrity TikTok accounts) were investigated as correlates of young women's body image and acceptance of cosmetic surgery. Based on a survey of 424 young adult women, leaving appearance-related comments on others' TikTok videos and following health/fitness TikTok accounts were related to the acceptance of cosmetic surgery. Moreover, body dissatisfaction mediated the link between following celebrity TikTok accounts and acceptance of cosmetic surgery.
