INFLUÊNCIA DAS REDES SOCIAIS NA FORMAÇÃO DA AUTOIMAGEM DA MULHER

Abstract

Social media are being part of society on a daily basis and with that bringing information, connecting people, modifying social behavior, especially in women. With this, the present work identified the psychological impacts and consequences of the use of these networks, through investigations of the impacts of excessive and moderate use, exposure to unrealistic beauty standards and to analyze the role of these interactions. The work was through field research with the use of a questionnaire in Google Forms to obtain opinions from a specific group of women, raising issues such as the time of use and consumption of content within these platforms, whether they were positive or negative. Considering the result of the opinions and roles of these networks, it was possible to find that there are influences from the networks, whether positive or negative, and how much the consumption of content can change the perception of the image. Concluding what was already expected within this research and study of the subject, that social media can influence the formation of women's self image, which can bring benefits in terms of harm, regardless of the time of use of the networks or age, but raising the importance of self-knowledge in behavior or for the identification of emotions and how this can interfere in the role of using these social media.
