Study on the Causes and Effects of Appearance Anxiety among Women in East Asia

Abstract

The continuous exchange and integration of Eastern and Western cultures has caused East Asian women to have the problem of appearance anxiety. In recent years, with the development of information technology, this phenomenon has become more and more serious. This paper focuses on this phenomenon and analyzes the influence of social, cultural, and personal factors on appearance anxiety in East Asian women. Appearance anxiety is mainly manifested in appearance, figure, psychology, etc. This paper argues that cultural exchange is one of the causes of anxiety among women. The spread of culture expands the definition of beauty, but at the same time, it also reinforces women's cultural preference for appearance. In addition, the development of pop culture has caused women to pursue the ultimate beauty, which creates anxiety. Finally, the development of the Internet has led to the proliferation of relevant information, deepening the influence of East Asian women on this idea. Based on this, this paper argues that it is necessary to fully understand women's psychology and concepts to better serve them. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to practical research and give full play to the positive role of online platforms.
