Episode 129 - Dr Weston Talks with Dr Danielle Paddock: 'Feel Cute, Might Delete Later' - Teens and Appearance-based Interactions on Social Media

In this interview, we talk to cyberpsychologist Dr Danielle
Paddock about her fascinating examination of how teens converse
with each other about appearance on social media. We know that
appearance-related concerns are very high among teens in the UK.
We also know that visual social media platform design encourages
both image creation/sharing and interactions about these images.
Dr Paddock chats about key themes that have emerged in her work,
fruitful ways to talk to teens about this issue, and the positive
impact of a brief school-based intervention about
appearance-based interactions on young people's body image.
