✦ Synopsis

Objective:

The present study examined changes in women's mood states resulting from their viewing pictures in fashion magazines of models who represent a thin ideal.

Method:

Female university students completed the profile of mood states (poms), the body parts satisfaction scale (bpss), and the eating disorder inventory (edi). they were then exposed to 20 slides; the experimental group (n = 51) viewed images of female fashion models and a control group (n = 67) viewed slides containing no human figures. all subjects then completed the poms and the bpss again.

Results:

Women were more depressed (r2 = 0.745, p < .05) and more angry (r2 = 0.73, p < .01) following exposure to slides of female fashion models.

Discussion:

Viewing images of female fashion models had an immediate negative effect on women's mood. this study, therefore, supports the hypothesis that media images do play a role in disordered eating.
