Influencia que tiene el uso de redes sociales en mujeres estudiantes de la universidad EAFIT sobre su autoconcepto en el año 2025

Objective: To explore the possible influence that the use of social media has on the self concept of female students at Universidad EAFIT in the year 2025 Method: This research employed a qualitative approach using the phenomenological method. Eight semi structured interviews were conducted to understand the participants' subjective experiences in relation to the research objective. The analysis was organized around the categories of social media and self-concept. Results: The findings indicate that social media platforms such as Instagram and TikTok not only serve communicative purposes, but also shape personal interests, behaviors, and perceptions. A strong presence of idealized images was identified, which generates social comparison processes that directly impact the physical, social, and academic dimensions of self-concept. Conclusions: Social media plays an active role in shaping young women's self-concept. While it generates physical, social, and professional comparisons and feelings of discomfort, there is also a motivation to set personal boundaries and engage in a more conscious consumption of platform content.
