Description
Erhayat Özgür Bayazıtlı and colleagues model how social media use connects with eating behavior among sports science students in Türkiye. The 2026 survey covered 1,576 students at 38 public universities. These students swim in health content online and may later model healthy habits for others, which makes their own eating attitudes worth understanding.
The proposed chain ran from social media factors through nutrition literacy, attitudes toward functional foods, acceptance of cravings, and emotional eating, ending at eating attitudes. Every link tested as statistically meaningful, and together the middle steps carried a substantial share of the total association. The full chain's own effect was tiny, however. Literacy about healthy eating online and acceptance-based coping stood out as key middle steps.
