Summary: Photo manipulation on social media is associated with increased facial dissatisfaction, attitudes towards cosmetic procedures, and appearance-based self-discrepancy in young women. It is a significant predictor of cosmetic procedure attitudes and intentions, with appearance-based self-discrepancy moderating the relationship between photo manipulation and facial dissatisfaction. These findings suggest the need for intervention and prevention programs to help young women limit appearance-based photo manipulation behaviors on social media.

Analyzing Reddit conversation data, researchers found a notable increase in the number and sentiment of GameStop-related comments prior to the squeeze. By introducing a model of opinion dynamics, they demonstrate the self-reinforcing mechanism triggered by user engagement that leads to consensus formation and potentially successful collective actions.

Summary: In recent years, the importance of photos on Social Networking Sites (SNSs) for young adults has greatly increased. The focus on visual self-presentation can lead to body shame, affecting individuals' body esteem and potentially promoting photo manipulation (PM). Two studies were conducted to evaluate the PM scale and examine the relationship between body shame and PM. The results showed that body shame was directly and indirectly associated with PM, mediated by body esteem appearance for both genders and by body esteem attribution among young men.

Summary: The study of collective behavior is crucial in understanding how group actions and characteristics emerge from individual information sharing. In the digital age and with the rise of social media, social systems are undergoing rapid changes, posing challenges for scientific progress, democracy, and addressing global crises. It is argued that collective behavior research should become a crisis discipline, providing actionable insights for policymakers to steward social systems.
