Abstract

BACKGROUND

The social isolation due to the COVID-19-related lockdown has had an impact on social media consumption around the world. This study examines the relationship between fear of COVID-19, Facebook use and disordered eating.

METHODS

Structural Equation Modeling was used to analyse two-wave survey data (T0: Italian first lockdown; T1: after two months) during the pandemic. Young adults with self-reported dysfunctional eating behaviors (N = 115; 91.3% females; mean age = 28.60 ± 7.31) were recruited to complete an online survey at T0; 66 participants (92.4% females; mean age = 28.85 ± 7.85) completed the survey at T1. They were assessed on Facebook use, dysfunctional eating cognitions, and fear of COVID-19.

RESULTS

Participants' disordered eating cognitions increased during the pandemic. At T0, higher fear of COVID-19 was positively associated to time spent on Facebook, which in turn predicted disordered eating cognitions at T1. Moreover, maladaptive Facebook use mediated the relationship between daily time on Facebook and Shape concerns.

CONCLUSIONS

The findings of this study suggest an influence of dysfunctional Facebook use in increasing disordered eating cognitions during the pandemic.

摘要

背景

由于 COVID-19 相关封锁导致的社交隔离对全球社交媒体的使用产生了影响。本研究探讨了对 COVID-19 的恐惧、脸书使用与饮食失调之间的关系。

方法

采用结构方程模型分析了大流行期间两次（T0：意大利首次封锁；T1：两个月后）的调查数据。招募了自我报告有饮食失调行为的年轻人（N=115；91.3%为女性；平均年龄=28.60±7.31）在 T0 时完成在线调查；66 名参与者（92.4%为女性；平均年龄=28.85±7.85）在 T1 时完成了调查。他们评估了脸书使用、饮食失调认知和对 COVID-19 的恐惧。
