The Affect of Attractiveness and Media on Self-Esteem

The experimenter wants to know the relationship between self esteem and appeal, and more importantly, how the influence of the media on the attractive image affects his self esteem and self esteem. The experimenter wants to use the Rosenberg self-esteem scale (RSE) as a preliminary test for all adult participants. When the participants complete the preliminary test they will be exposed to images of 50 very attractive people for about 20 to 30 seconds. If the participant throws all the images, the Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale (RSE) is given again to see if the score has changed.

As we all know, social media sites such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. affect users' self-esteem. Self-esteem is a subjective emotional evaluation of personal value. This is my own judgment and attitude to myself. In the past few years, opportunities have increased for young people to build and maintain relationships on social media and the Internet. Valkenburg, Peter and Schouten (2006) conducted research to investigate the impact of friends 'websites on youths' self-esteem and happiness. Researchers survey 881 teenagers in the Netherlands online between the ages of 10 and 19. Researchers measured social self-esteem, happiness, use of a friend's website, frequency of responses to personal data, and tone of responses to personal data. Percentage shows correlation between social media and self-esteem

The problem of self-esteem has been focused on media for a long time, but it can be said that it is only a catalyst to help the media boost or enhance low self-esteem. The media indirectly influenced self-esteem. For example, you want people to recognize how they perceive themselves, how they want to be recognized, and further clarify the position of people on social media. Zuckerman, Li, and Hall (2016) conducted experiments to explore factors influencing self esteem among different sexes. The study concluded that gender difference did not affect self-esteem, but these problems in developed countries seem to be greater than in developing countries. This is thought to be due to the fact that more advanced countries feature values ​​of equality or freedom.
