- Exposure to such images in the media increases body dissatisfaction in men and women, including those with different weight statuses like anorexic, bulimic, and pregnant women.
- Paradoxically, despite seeing a mix of real people in daily life, exposure to media images doesn't balance out the dissatisfaction.
- Daughters tend to reflect their mother's level of body dissatisfaction, possibly due to sharing similar physiques and social pressures.
- The media's portrayal of body forms on TV does not align with reality, leading to increased dissatisfaction.
- The media's response to public desires does not justify its role in increasing body dissatisfaction.
- The current preoccupation with thinness and dieting may be shaping the female and male body towards a sexual ideal.
- Throughout history, sexual ideals have shaped the human body form, often exaggerating existing gender differences.
- Historical examples include foot binding in China, corsets in Victorian times, and the impact of the women's liberation movement in the 60s.
- The psychology of dieting is influenced by body dissatisfaction, leading to restrained eating as a conscious attempt to control body size and food intake.
- The restrained eating approach explains why dieting can sometimes lead to weight gain rather than loss.
