“…Os achados desta pesquisa convergem com os dos estudos anteriores, agregando à discussão o uso das redes sociais virtuais. O uso destas redes, na contemporaneidade, é uma forma importante de interação do indivíduo com o mundo, e, portanto, um espaço de submissão do corpo a padrões, frequentemente repercutindo em insatisfação corporal [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] . Este efeito pode ser evidenciado pela relação estatística entre satisfação corporal e a dimensão de uso das redes sociais nos cuidados com corpo e aparência.…”

Trata-se de uma pesquisa realizada a partir de uma perspectiva psicossocial, que buscou relacionar a satisfação corporal de jovens adultos com suas práticas corporais e o uso que fazem de redes sociais virtuais. Participaram do estudo 207 jovens, que responderam um questionário online autoaplicado, cujas respostas foram tratadas com estatística descritiva e inferencial. Os resultados indicaram que a satisfação corporal é mais presente entre os praticantes de atividades físicas, e, em contrapartida, observou-se menor satisfação corporal entre os participantes mais aderentes a dietas e cirurgias plásticas estéticas. Algumas práticas corporais encontraram associação estatística significativa com o uso das redes sociais virtuais: praticantes de atividade física as acessam por menor tempo diário e visualizam conteúdos alusivos à saúde; dietas e cirurgias plásticas estão associadas ao maior acesso a conteúdos de influenciadores digitais. Assim, a satisfação corporal e a forma como jovens utilizam redes sociais virtuais podem ter influência sobre suas práticas corporais.

“…It was revealed in the studies on SRs of health and illness that body was an element of SRs (from Herzlich first works to contemporary studies (Aim et al, 2018;Herzlich, 1973;Silveira, Camargo and Giacomozzi, 2021)). In the research on SRs of beauty, it was revealed that the possibility to change one's body through certain surgical interventions in order to meet the standards was normalised (De Rosa, Homlan, 2011).…”

Body is a complex and polymorphic object that lies at the intersection of a number of dimensions: natural-social-cultural; individual-social; body-soul; flesh-spirit; private-public; visible-invisible; decent-indecent; real-virtual; health-illness. If the body is in the heart of psychological research, lay thinking analysis rests somewhat in the shadow of this research line. Following the ideas of the social representations theory, the aim of study was to reveal how the body was represented in groups of young and older Russian women. A total sample consisted of 314 Russian females (N=258 females formed the group of young females from 18 to 25 years old, Mage=19.73, SDage =1.56; N=56 females formed the group of older females aged from 39 to 55 years old, Mage=45.63, SDage =4.68). The snowball technique was used in order to recruit the participants, they were invited to fulfil the online questionnaire. A free-association technique was used. The data were analysed by using prototypical analysis. The obtained results shed light on the articulation of the two normative elements health-beauty in the social representations of body in the two generations of Russian women. The comparison of the hypothetical structure of social representations (my body, ideal body, female body) in the two age groups of Russian women reveals several points concerning the lay mentality as a matter of age. A further study to verify the hypothetical structure of the social representations of body in young and older Russian women is needed.

This study aimed to understand the social representations and acceptance of the Internet among older adults through the STAM. The participants consisted of 18 older adults divided into three groups based on their level of inclusion (low, medium/high, and low/medium). Before and after the group sessions, an attitude questionnaire was administered online. The questionnaire items underwent descriptive and relational analysis, while the data from the focus group were subjected to content analysis. We observed that the first group displayed a potential rejection of the technology due to concerns about time loss and a lack of perceived usefulness. In contrast, the second and third groups viewed the Internet as a tool that brings families together and requires patience, leading to a greater intention to use it and experimentation. The study identified that the older adults’ thoughts, attitudes, and social representations, not only about the Internet but also about aging, significantly influenced their intention to use the Internet and their perception of its usefulness.
