Repetitive exposure to idealized images and interaction with appearance-related content may be the cause of this relationship. The present study used a cross-sectional survey to examine the associations between body checking behaviors and SM use, emotional eating, perceived stress, and self-esteem among adults (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 423; aged 18\u201350 years, 71.9 percent female). Results showed that the number of online friends\/followers, emotional eating, perceived stress, and general SM use significantly correlated with higher body checking scores. Conversely, self-esteem was negatively correlated with these scores. In multivariate regression analyses, perceived stress (B = 0.94,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; 0.001), emotional eating (B = 0.60,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; 0.001), general SM use (B = 0.18,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 0.002), and lower educational level (B = \u22122.17,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 0.011) independently predicted higher body checking scores, explaining 31.7 percent of the variance. These findings indicate that interventions focusing on media literacy and the management of stress and emotional eating may help mitigate the adverse effects of SM on body image and body-checking behaviors.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/21522715261430510","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,27]],"date-time":"2026-07-27T05:40:26Z","timestamp":1785130826000},"page":"255-259","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Social Media Use and Body Checking Behaviors: The Roles of Stress, Emotional Eating, and Self-Esteem"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Aya","family":"Korkomaz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition and Food Science, School of Arts and Sciences, Lebanese American University, Byblos, Lebanon."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sophia","family":"Jamal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition and Food Science, School of Arts and Sciences, Lebanese American University, Byblos, Lebanon."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mariam","family":"Hakim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition and Food Science, School of Arts and Sciences, Lebanese American University, Byblos, Lebanon."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nadine","family":"Zeeni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition and Food Science, School of Arts and Sciences, Lebanese American University, Byblos, Lebanon."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11199-014-0384-6"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bodyim.2016.02.008"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/1747-0080.12581"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.29329\/jsomer.33"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/eat.10012"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.brat.2006.01.015"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/eat.22867"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/001872675400700202"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bodyim.2013.07.011"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/cyber.2016.0384"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s40337-023-00769-0"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s40337-022-00701-y"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s40337-024-01112-x"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/2136404"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/1098-108X(198602)5:2<295::AID-EAT2260050209>3.0.CO;2-T"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1515\/9781400876136"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.chb.2013.06.006"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s40337-024-01168-9"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.29329\/jsomer.47"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_21_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.29329\/jsomer.27"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_22_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.32604\/ijmhp.2025.071081"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_23_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.actpsy.2025.105748"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_24_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Psychometric evaluation of the Malay version of Weight Stigma Exposure Inventory (WeSEI) among Malaysian young adults","volume":"62","author":"Gan WY","year":"2025","unstructured":"23.Gan WY, , Chen I-H, , Tung SEH, et al.
