Abstract

As a social media platform primarily focused on sharing and communication, Little Red Book has created an idealized image of digital women through the sharing of beauty, skincare, fashion, fitness, and other content, invisibly exacerbating the appearance anxiety of women. As a medium of information dissemination, Little Red Book constantly amplifies this anxiety. During browsing, liking, and commenting, users continuously receive information about idealized female images, which contrasts with their real-life self-image, leading to or exacerbating appearance anxiety. This article deeply analyzes the complex relationship between digital female images and appearance anxiety on Little Red Book from the perspective of media studies, explores the influence of media on aesthetic concepts and self-awareness, and reflects on the role of social media in shaping idealized images and exacerbating anxiety. Expect to raise awareness of social media content orientation and responsibility, promote the formation of healthy and rational aesthetic concepts, and alleviate psychological issues such as appearance anxiety. 65-77 Research on the relationship between digital female images and appearance anxiety from the perspective of media studies——Take “Little Red Book” as an example 下载 Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 Share this: Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook
