Detection of the time spent on social media
The time spent on social media will be assessed by using the social networking usage questionnaire (SONTUS) for all women in both groups (A and B).
Evaluation of body composition and basal metabolic rate
They will be evaluated using Inbody (Bodecoder)(CHL-818, made in China) and its software (2.2.1 apk)
Evaluation of eating behavior among social media users
Scale of effects of social media on eating behavior (SESMEB) will be used for all women in both groups (A and B) to assess the effect of social media on their eating behavior. The SESMEB consists of one subscale and eighteen items. It is a reliable and valid scale, items scale is evaluated with five-point Likert scale. Each item is evaluated as 'always' five points, 'often' four points, 'sometimes' three points, 'seldom' two points and 'never' one point. There is no reverse coded substance. As it is mentioned in item analysis part, total score can be calculated. According to this minimum eighteen and maximum ninety points from SESMEB scale can be taken as total point. As a result, the increase in the person's scale score means that the level of being affected by the eating media increases.
