Note. Likes, comments, and commentary were averaged across posts. Type of post (self, group, others, no people) is the proportion of each type of post to total posts. Prop comm represents the proportion of posts that has at least one comment. Differing subscripts for means between males and females indicate that means differed at p<.05 in independent sample t-tests. ASMC=appearance-related social media consciousness. ACOSW=Appearance-contingent self-worth. Post Comm = Comments made by poster. PosAppear = Positive appearance commentary. NegAppear = Negative appearance commentary. PosNonAppear = Positive nonappearance commentary. NegNonAppear = Negative nonappearance commentary.
