dc.description.abstractThis capstone explores the psychological and relational influence of social media use on young women, with a particular focus on self-perception, body image, and well-being. As social media platforms become significantly popular and central to identity development, young women may experience heightened vulnerability to social comparison, internalized beauty standards, mental health challenges, and relational implications. This paper highlights the intricate ways online engagement can influence emotional and interpersonal outcomes by examining current research on social media use, body dissatisfaction, and relational dynamics. This capstone aims to raise awareness of the extent to which social media use can influence young women while providing practical strategies that foster self-compassion, critical awareness, and healthier online interactions.
