Appearance Pressure From the Media Mediates the Relationship Between Internalized Weight Bias and Eating Disorder Risk for Young Women: A Cross-Sectional Study
Findings of this study suggest that women who have internalized negative stereotypes about people in larger bodies may be motivated to control their weight in maladaptive ways following increased exposure to appearance-related pressure from the media. More research is needed to examine these relationships longitudinally and in a clinical sample.
