The More You See Yourself, The Less You Like Yourself: The Impact of Digital Self-Viewing on Body Image and Mental Health

Biography

Signify 2025

I am Yasmina Jmila, a fourth-year undergraduate student in Professional Communication at Toronto Metropolitan University with a minor in Business Essentials. Growing up in the 21st century amid rapid technological change, I experienced firsthand how early exposure to digital innovations can shape individual identity. Because technological progress often outpaces research, my generation has borne the mental health impacts—an enduring reality that now drives my academic inquiry.

My primary objective with this research was to promote social good and effect positive change. By raising awareness of the potential risks associated with digital self-viewing, particularly regarding body image and mental health, I aim to help individuals make more informed decisions about their technology use. Overall, this research provides evidence-based insights to inform strategies that support and empower future technology users.
