BACKGROUND
Appearance anxiety, a distress stemming from dissatisfaction with one's physical appearance, disproportionately impacts young females. This study identifies certain Instagram features that correlate with increased appearance anxiety. In response, we designed three features for Instagram: a single-click option to hide likes and followers, redesigned time reminders, and altered content recommendations. These interventions aim to reduce the factors that contribute to appearance anxiety and body image concerns, enhancing users' experiences on social media and providing a model for future technological measures to mitigate the negative mental health impacts of social media.
DESIGN QUESTION
How Might We reduce appearance anxiety on Instagram through technological support？
