Abstract
We are investigating social network site (SNS) usage to predict disordered eating and extreme attitudes about having a muscular body. Participants will be surveyed about body dissatisfaction, social comparison evoked from both in-person interaction and from SNS usage, disordered eating, and attitudes about muscularity. We expect that taking these factors into account will permit statistical prediction of disordered eating and excessive concern about muscularity.
