Body talk and the internalization of the ideal body image: examination based on the tripartite influence model
Negative fat talk and positive body talk did not moderate the effect of exposure to thin-ideal images on the internalization of the thin ideal. In contrast, exposure to thin-ideal images emerged as a significant factor in promoting the internalization of the thin ideal. Among women, negative muscle talk promoted the internalization of athletes' bodies. These findings may advance future research in eating disorder pathology and media psychology.
