Objek dari penelitian ini merupakan media sosial TikTok, sebagai salah satu media sosial berbasis gambar (photo-based) dengan subjek penelitian pengguna TikTok yang berbasis di Indonesia dan memiliki rentang umur 17 – 26 tahun. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan metode gabungan pendekatan kuantitatif dan kualitatif. Data kuantitatif didapatkan melalui penyebaran kuesioner dengan hasil 507 responden dan diolah menggunakan metode Covariance Based Structural Equation Modeling (CB-SEM) dengan bantuan aplikasi SPSS AMOS. Kemudian, untuk kualitatif dilakukan dengan mewawancarai 32 responden dan dianalisis dengan metode content-analysis. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa upward appearance comparison dipengaruhi oleh photo-based activity dan appearance motivation, sedangkan untuk thin-ideal internalization dipengaruhi oleh appearance motivation dan social media literacy. Upward appearance comparison dan thin ideal internalization comparison memberikan dampak buruk terhadap body satisfaction penggunanya. Hasil penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan kontribusi bagi penelitian selanjutnya dalam topik pengaruh media sosial terhadap persepsi tubuh penggunanya, serta bagi pihak media sosial TikTok dalam usahanya menciptakan lingkungan media sosial yang sehat bagi penggunanya.
