Description:
Objectives: This study examined whether photoshopping was negatively associated with young female adults' self-esteem and whether this association was mediated by self-objectification. Methods: A sample of 127 female young adults (n=127) completed surveys on photoshopping behaviour, self-objectification (SOS scale) (Dahl, 2014), and self-esteem (Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale) (Rosenberg, 1979). Results: Results indicated that 1) photoshopping was significantly and negatively related to young adults' self-esteem. 2) self-objectification significantly mediated the relation between photoshopping and women's self-esteem. Conclusion: Findings from this thesis offer us a better understanding of how photo-editing behavior affects self-esteem, which facilitates improving Hong Kong females' self-esteem
