SOCIAL COMPARISON, WARNING ON SOCIAL MEDIA
participants may develop stereotypes associated with thin and overweight people and make
judgments on that. The results concluded that participants exposed to overweight images used
words like weight and thin which lead to downward social comparison. It also displayed the
stereotypes of other people's bodies who are skinny (Pena & Pan, 2016).
A study by Tiggeman et al. (2012), suggested that the media should put a caption on
pictures that are digitally photoshopped. This would forewarn people that the image is fake, and
they were engaging in upward or downward comparison. The researchers wanted to see the
impact that was associated with women's body dissatisfaction of having warnings that were
specific, nonspecific, and no warning labels on fashion magazines. The participants were given
magazines with no warning and warning labels. The results showed that there was no difference
in results for warning or no warning labels showed for experiment one. However, for the specific
warning label resulted in an increase in women's body dissatisfaction (Tiggeman, et al., 2012).

In a study by Brown and Tiggeman (2016), the researchers wanted to test the impact of
attractive celebrities on one's body image. All the images they collected for the study were from
Instagram. The results concluded that people being exposed to good-looking celebrities had a
negative feeling about themselves, along with having a negative view of their bodies (Brown &
Tiggemen, 2016). This showed that being exposed to people who are prettier than you can
damage your self-esteem.
Another way that social media effects individuals is the way it tends to cause people to
imitate their behavior. A study was conducted by Hinduja and Patchin (2013), where they
believed that teens are influenced by their friends and family's behaviors at school. The
researchers wanted to test if peers, adults, or family had an influence on cyberbullying in
teenagers. The results showed that if their friends are engaging in this behavior, then the

individual said they have also engaged in cyberbullying. Furthermore, the teenagers that were
influenced by their parents or adults that told them bullying is not acceptable, then they were less
likely to engage in that behavior (Hinduja & Patchin, 2013). This study displays that people you
are influenced by can play a role in your actions, despite being good or bad.
The evidence from previous studies suggests that being exposed or forewarned about a
topic can influence the way you think about yourself and that having a forewarning about the
topic can be harmful to individual's health because people will feel negatively about themselves,

Study two
Forewarning is providing an individual with information that they would have otherwise
not have known before time. By having a warning, the individual will start processing that
information, which may have an impact on their feelings toward what is going to happen in the
future. Providing individuals with a forewarning will increase the likelihood of that person being

The impact of internet forewarning on ratings of attraction was researched by Leon, et al.
(2003). The study looked at attraction between male and females. This was done providing the
participants with pictures of the people online. Half of the participants were given a forewarning
message about deceiving people online, and the other half were given no message, just a
statement about the use of the internet. The participants were then able to rate the attractiveness
of the person online, and to see if they would want to continue communicating with that
individual. The people in the photos were all different in attractiveness with different financial
statuses. The researchers wanted to see if the forewarning would make the participants more
cautious about further communications to the individual in the photo. The four conditions were
high or low financial stability, with either attractive or not attractive. The results correlated with
their hypothesis, where the participants that had a forewarning were more cautious and rated the
photos as less attractive, as well as being less likely to continue talking to that person (Leon, et
al., 2002). The use of forewarning in this study made them think that the internet was a way of
deceiving people, and you should not trust what others post online.
A more recent study conducted by Pena and Pan (2016) looked at how being exposed to
skinny/obese and attractive/unattractive models on websites should influences their choice of
wording when replying to a pro-weight lost or anti-weight loss program for advice. The
hypothesis for the study was that participants who were exposed to good-looking and thin people
were more predicted to engage in upward social comparison and give highly motivated advised.
