This research aims to explore how social media and dating app usage relate to body image among young men across different countries.
Conducted a cross-country analysis on social media and dating app usage
Assessed body image dimensions and related indicators
Collected data focusing especially on young male demographics
Increased social media use correlates with poorer body image
Higher dating app engagement is linked to negative body image indicators
Findings emphasize significant cross-country variations in these associations

Greater social media and dating app use may be related to poor body image and related indicators across countries, particularly among young men.
