Abstract: (10 Views)
The present study aimed to examine the relationship between internet addiction and social media use with body dysmorphic disorder through a systematic review and meta-analysis. The study population consisted of scientific articles published between 2010 and 2025, which were identified through a targeted search of PubMed, Scopus, IranDoc, and Magiran databases. After removing duplicate records and applying the selection criteria based on the PRISMA guidelines, a total of 15 eligible studies were included in the meta-analysis. Data were analyzed using a random-effects model, and the reported effect sizes ranged from 0.068 to 0.663. The pooled effect size in the random-effects model was 0.323, which was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Publication bias was assessed using funnel plots, the Begg and Mazumdar rank correlation test, and Egger’s regression test, and the results indicated no significant evidence of publication bias. The findings demonstrate a positive and significant association between excessive and maladaptive use of social media and increased body dysmorphic symptoms, with this relationship being more pronounced among young women due to social and cultural pressures and social comparison processes. Accordingly, the results underscore the necessity of designing and implementing preventive interventions, media literacy education, and cognitive-behavioral interventions to mitigate the negative effects of social media on body image and mental health.
