Abstract

Social media platforms have revolutionised the way individuals present and perceive themselves. This study examined the relationship between social media usage and self-perception among young adults. Employing a mixed-methods approach, we surveyed 500 participants using standardised scales and conducted in-depth interviews with a subset of 30 individuals. The results indicate that higher engagement with image-focused platforms correlates with increased social comparison and lower body satisfaction. Qualitative analyses revealed coping strategies such as selective self-presentation and digital detox. The implications for mental health interventions and platform design are discussed, along with suggestions for future research.
