As a result, it has been established that body shaming is an emerging factor in the adaptive process, which has not been adequately studied, especially for young university students. Therefore, the influence of body shaming on university adaptation was examined in order to serve as a starting point for the development of intervention strategies that facilitate a successful transition to professional life. The objective of this research was to examine the influence of body shaming on university adaptation through the development of a research instrument (questionnaire) that allowed for the evaluation of the interrelationship between the study variables. The analyzed sample consisted of 177 students from the Early Childhood Education program at the Universidad Técnica de Ambato. It was based on a mixed approach and two data collection instruments were used: a teacher interview related to social adaptation to the university environment and a questionnaire to explore students' perceptions of body shaming and its possible relationship with university adaptation. The main results reflect that within the factors of the adaptive process are social interaction, academic performance, integration into university life, sociocultural adaptation, and social support. The research instrument met the proposed objective and allowed for determining that young university students who experience body shaming perceive this phenomenon with anxiety, feelings of shame, low self-esteem, and anxiety related to body image. Therefore, the mentioned indicators can trigger disorders and limit the social adaptation of the university student. It significantly affects academic performance and social interaction, concluding that body shaming influences university adaptation. This research is part of the "Netnographic Study of communication from invisible to visible in digital violence" project

    Images or visual representations are indispensable visualization tools for individuals. Currently, the image of a woman exposed in the cyberspace, especially in social networks, represents a stereotyped image, where the body is the most affected. On the Instagram platform, where visual things predominate, millions of women upload photos exposing a body considered as perfect. For this reason, the objective of this research was to explain the body beauty ideals of a woman on Instagram. To demonstrate it, this investigation had a qualitative virtual ethnographic approach, where 5 young Ecuadorian women, around 20 and 27 years old, participated and were chosen through a non-probabilistic convenience sampling. The instruments used to collect data were the interview, life history and photographic analysis. Through the data collected in the interview, it was possible to extract the discourses about beauty that predominate nowadays. On the other hand, the life history and photographic analysis of each participant allowed to explain the beauty ideals about female body image that are presented on Instagram. The results demonstrated that women share images according to the stereotypes imposed by society, however, they have tried to lower the high standards of beauty by normalizing realistic bodies.
