Media-portrayed idealized images, body shame, and appearance anxiety
Article Abstract:
A study was designed to determine the effects soft media-portrayed idealized images on young women's body shame and appearance anxiety, and to establish whether the effects depend on advertisement type and on participant self-objectification. Results indicated that appearance anxiety increased after viewing advertisements featuring idealized images and there was also a significant interaction between self-objectification level and idealized body.
