Abstract

The problem of appearance anxiety is becoming more and more serious in today’s society, and it has even risen to become a major focus problem that affects people’s physical and mental health and social development. Among all appearance-anxious people, college students are major victims of appearance-anxiety problems. In this survey, we took college students as the survey objects and collected 101 questionnaires about appearance anxiety. We found that the main causes of college students’ appearance anxiety are the single definition and pursuit of beauty in social media, the rigid requirements and halo effect in job hunting, the lack of self-confidence in the growing environment, and certain defects in appearance itself. On the basis of the analysis of the reasons, this article will propose corresponding solutions and programs to help college students relieve anxiety and promote the development of society in a positive and healthy direction.
