Body Dissatisfaction and Disordered Eating among College Women in China, South Korea, and the United States: Contrasting Predictions from Sociocultural and Feminist Theories (2007, result): “Although the results of Becker et al. (2002) were compelling and consistent with sociocultural theory and some of the sharpest criticisms of Western media, it is very important to recognize that the relationship between Western media and body dissatisfaction is complex and multiply determined.”
Mags and Abs: Media Consumption and Bodily Concerns in Men (2004, background): “Exposure to “ideal” female bodies via media is correlated with weight concern (Harrison & Cantor, 1997; Posavac et al., 1998), body dissatisfaction (Becker, Burwell, Gilman, Herzog, & Hamburg, 2002; Harrison & Cantor, 1997; Wegner et al., 2000), reduced self-esteem (Wilcox & Laird, 2000), and disord”

Association of the Thin Body Ideal, Ambivalent Sexism, and Self-Esteem with Body Acceptance and the Preferred Body Size of College Women in Poland and the United States (2004, background): “There is compelling evidence that the thin body ideal, high body dissatisfaction, and disordered eating are part of the process of globalization that now touches most cultures and most nations (e.g., Becker et al., 2002; Gordon, 2000; Nasser et al., 2001).”
The Attractive Female Body Weight and Female Body Dissatisfaction in 26 Countries Across 10 World Regions: Results of the International Body Project I (2010, result): “More generally, the present results would seem to confirm fears that the thin ideal and body dissatisfaction have become widely international in nature (Nasser, 1997), partly as a function of globalized Western media (Becker, 2004; Becker et al., 2002).”
Socioeconomic status and obesity. (2007, background): “(43, 44) observed an increase in disordered eating attitudes and behaviors over the 3 years following introduction of Western television.”
