The problem, however, is that many of these brands post content communicating unrealistic and incorrect ideals regarding how people should look. This can be greatly triggering from a psychological perspective. This research paper specifically aims to analyze how the themes communicated in social media marketing on Instagram by brands in the aforementioned industries are capable of triggering eating disorders.
