A Study on the Influence of Social Media on body Dissatifaction Among Physically Challenged Individuals

This Speedy growth in online sharing platforms changed how people see their bodies and value themselves. Even though plenty of work looked at links between screen time and negative body views in average groups, little attention went to those with physically challenged individuals’ people often overlooked or judged by society. This research explored how digital spaces affect body feelings in disabled individuals. Researchers used number-based methods to spot patterns across answers. People involved were two hundred fifty individuals with mobility challenges, ages eighteen through sixty, chosen purely by chance. Using the Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale helped track how much sway online platforms held. Meanwhile, body image concerns came into view through responses on the BISQ scale. Research leaned on basic stats and correlation measures to make sense of the numbers. A small but clear link showed up more exposure tied to sharper unease about appearance. Even if slight, that connection stayed consistent across answers. People facing greater pressure from feeds tended to feel worse about their bodies. Digital spaces shape inner experiences, especially for those already pushed aside. Knowing how tech shapes thought helps too. Support tuned to real needs can shift how people feel inside their skin.
