Abstract
This web study of urban college women found increased social media use and body image concerns during the COVID-19 pandemic. Disordered eating attitudes were predicted by COVID stress levels and specific SM content, not overall screen time. COVID stress and SM use were both positively related to psychological distress symptoms.
