ABSTRACT

In recent years, the topic of "appearance anxiety" has frequently appeared in the themes reported by major media, especially in the wider dissemination among young people. With the prevalence of the "beauty economy" and the arrival of the era of "beauty is justice", some young people have developed a pathological mentality of exacerbating their appearance anxiety due to the dissemination of information through various channels. Appearance anxiety has become widespread among young people, and its influence is also showing an increasingly strong trend. This survey mainly uses in-depth interviews and questionnaire surveys to analyze the causes of appearance anxiety among young people in the era of media and provide corresponding measures.
