CATER:

Good day to our research adviser (Ma'am Maronelle Longa ), to the panelist , Ma'am Abigael
Remot , Sir. Florencio Magallon , Ma'am Lovely Villanueva , and Sir Herbert Beraquit

I am Axel John O. Cater and I would like to greet you all a pleasant afternoon! We will be
presenting to you our study entitled SALAMIN SALAMIN SANA'Y AKO RIN: SOCIAL MEDIA
EXPOSURE AND IT'S RELATIONSHIP WITH BODY IMAGE together with my groupmates , Christian
James Aringo , Jeanne Dela Vega , Mark Arvin Bolon , Keire Hernandez , Warren Vega , and
lastly Jay Ar Amparado .

The title of our study is about how social media affects how young people feel about their
bodies.

- "Salamin, Salamin, Sana'y Ako Rin" is a a Filipino phrase that means "Mirror, mirror, I wish I
was like them."The "mirror" in the title is a metaphor for how social media reflects back to us
on what we should look like. It's about the way of how social media influences our self-image
and the idea of wanting to look like someone else, often because of pressure from what we see
around us. This phrase perfectly captures the core theme of the study, which is how social
media's idealized images can affect Filipino students' body image.

- While the phrase ," Social Media Exposure and it's relationship with body image "is more
technical and directly addresses the core of our research. It highlights the two key aspects of
our study which is the Social Media Exposure and Body Image.By examining the relationship
between these two variables, we aim to understand how social media exposure influences body
image perceptions among students.

NOW THAT I AM DONE WITH THE TITLE PRESENTATION OF OUR STUDY , LET'S PROCEED TO
THE PRESENTATION OF THE STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM TO BE REPORTED BY MY
GROUPMATE, JEANNE DELA VEGA

DELA VEGA

The statement of the problem of this study is to investigate the impact of social media exposure
on the body image perceptions of senior high school students at Casay National High School.
This research aims to understand the complex relationship between social media use and how
students feel about their bodies.

And , Here are the reasons why this research is important:

First, - Social Media is Everywhere: In the Philippines, almost everyone uses social media, and
this can have a big influence on how young people see themselves.

Second , - Unrealistic Beauty Standards: Social media is full of pictures and videos that show
people looking perfect. This can make it hard for students to feel good about their own bodies,
especially when they compare themselves to these unrealistic images.

And lastly ,- Mental Health Concerns: Feeling bad about your body can lead to problems with
self-esteem, anxiety, and even depression.

Specifically, this study seeks to answer the following questions:

1. What are the common social media platforms that the students uses by gender ?

2. What is the average length of time exposure in social media?

3. Is there a significant relationship between the average length of time students spend on
social media and their body image perceptions?

4. Based on the findings, what suggestions or recommendations can be formulated to develop

positive body image?

In Simple Words: This study is trying to figure out if social media makes Filipino students feel
bad about their bodies. They want to know which social media platforms are most popular, how
much time students spend on them, and if there's a link between social media use and body
image issues. They hope to find ways to help students use social media in a healthy way and
feel good about themselves.

AND FOR THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY, HERE'S KEIRE HERNANDEZ

Significance of the Study:

This research on social media exposure and body image among senior high school students at
Casay National High School is important for several reasons:

1. Helping Students: This study will help students understand how social media can affect their
feelings about their bodies. It can empower them to use social media in a healthier way,
avoiding the negative feelings that can come from comparing themselves to unrealistic images.

2. Guiding Teachers: The findings will provide valuable information for teachers. They can use
this knowledge to create lessons and activities that help students develop healthy body image
and learn how to use social media in a positive way.
3. Supporting Parents: This research will give parents a better understanding of how social
media might be affecting their children. This can help them have conversations with their kids
about social media, promote healthy online habits, and offer support and guidance.

4. Advancing Research: This study will add to what we already know about the connection
between social media and body image. It will provide a foundation for future researchers to
continue exploring this important topic.

5. Creating Positive Change: By highlighting the potential problems of social media, this
research can help create a more positive and supportive online environment for young people.
It can lead to strategies and programs that promote healthy body image and mental well-being.

In short, this study has the potential to improve the lives of students, teachers, parents, and
researchers, and to create a more positive and healthy online world for everyone.

NOW LET'S MOVE FORWARD TO RELEVANT THEORIES OF OUR STUDY TO BE REPORTED BY

CHRISTIAN JAMES ARINGO

RELEVANT THEORIES OF OUR STUDY:

This research paper, "SALAMIN SALAMIN SANA'Y AKO RIN: SOCIAL MEDIA EXPOSURE AND IT'S
RELATIONSHIP WITH BODY IMAGE," explores the impact of social media exposure on body
image perceptions among senior high school students. To understand this complex relationship,
the study draws upon four key theories:

1. Social Comparison Theory:

- Proposed by: Leon Festinger (1954)

- Core Concept: Individuals evaluate their own qualities and abilities by comparing themselves
to others, particularly those they perceive as similar.

- Relevance to the Study: Social media platforms constantly bombard users with idealized
images of beauty and physique, often presented as attainable and desirable. This constant
comparison to unrealistic standards can lead to feelings of inadequacy and dissatisfaction with
one's own body.

2. Objectification Theory:

- Proposed by: Barbara Fredrickson and Tomi-Ann Roberts (1997)

- Core Concept: Women are often viewed as objects, primarily based on their physical
appearance.

- Relevance to the Study: Social media platforms often emphasize physical attractiveness,
contributing to the idea that women's worth is primarily based on their appearance. This can
lead to a heightened focus on physical appearance, a sense of shame about one's body, and
internalizing unattainable societal beauty standards.

3. Social Cognitive Theory:

- Proposed by: Albert Bandura

- Core Concept: Individuals learn and internalize behaviors through observation, especially by
observing role models.

- Relevance to the Study: Social media platforms constantly expose users to images and
messages that reinforce specific body image ideals. This exposure can lead to a distorted
perception of one's own body and a desire to conform to these unrealistic standards,
potentially leading to unhealthy behaviors like excessive dieting or exercise.

4. Cultivation Theory:

- Proposed by: George Gerbner and Larry Gross (1976)

- Core Concept: Media consumption shapes our perceptions of the world, including our
understanding of what is considered "normal" or "desirable."

- Relevance to the Study: Social media's constant stream of images and messages can influence
our understanding of what is attractive, potentially contributing to dissatisfaction and negative
self-perceptions among those who don't conform to these ideals. This can create social
pressure to conform to unrealistic beauty standards, leading to feelings of inadequacy and a
diminished sense of self-worth.

Integration of Theories:

By integrating these four theories, the study provides a comprehensive understanding of how
social media exposure can impact body image. This framework highlights the complex interplay
between social comparison, objectification, observational learning, and the cultivation of
media-driven perceptions. This understanding is crucial for developing strategies to promote
positive body image, foster healthy self-esteem, and mitigate the potential negative effects of
social media on individuals' mental well-being.
NOW WE ARE MOVING TO THE CHAPTER 3 OF OUR STUDY WHICH IS THE RESEARCH
METHODOLOGY AND HERE'S MARK ARVIN BOLON

CHAPTER 3: RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

BOLON

This chapter explains how the researchers conducted their study to understand how social
media affects how Filipino students feel about their bodies.

Let's start with the Research Design of our study

This study uses a correlational design because we the researchers are looking to see if there's a
connection between how much time students spend on social media and how they feel about
their bodies.

📌 RESPONDENTS OF THE STUDY

The respondents of this study are the senior high school students of Casay National High
School during the 2024-2025 school year.

We chose this school because we wanted to see how social media affects body image
specifically among Filipino students. We have a total of 193 students participating in this study,
53 students in grade 12 - Socrates , 49 in grade 12 -Voltaire , 46 in grade 11 - Prudence , and
lastly in grade 11 - Courage that have 45 students all . However we are not going to get them
all as the participants of this study , so the researchers are going to use a simple random
sampling method. By This method it will make sure that each student has an equal chance of
being chosen.

📌 INSTRUMENTS OF THE STUDY

This study will employ a structured survey questionnaire specifically designed to gather data on
social media exposure and body image perceptions among senior high school students. The
questionnaire will include sections on demographic information, social media usage, and body
image perceptions. The section on body image perceptions will include a subset of items from
the validated THE BODY-IMAGE QUESTIONNAIRE (BIQ): AN EXTENSION (Koleck et al., 2002),
chosen for their relevance to the specific research questions of this study. Additionally, the
questionnaire will include original items developed by the research team to further explore the
relationship between social media exposure and body image concerns in this particular context.
