For Your Health? The Relationship Between Magazine Reading and Adolescents' Body Image and Eating Disturbances (2003, background): “Botta’s findings (Botta, 2000b) beg the question of whether ignoring or not noticing the size and shape of models’ bodies is a better defense against the images than being critical of them.”
Who's that Girl: Television's Role in the Body Image Development of Young White and Black Women (2004, background): “First, although the number of Black women in this sample exceeds those from previous studies (e.g., Botta, 2000), generalizations are nevertheless limited both by the small sample size and by the relatively homogenous background of the participants.”
Freaks, gold diggers, divas, and dykes: The sociohistorical development of adolescent African American women’s sexual scripts (2003, background): “Makkar and Strube (1995) found that African American adolescents are more likely to make comparisons with their cohort on television; thus the projected scripts provide a means to gauge how they measure up (Botta 2000; Comstock and Scharrer 1999).”
Media Contributions to African American Girls' Focus on Beauty and Appearance: Exploring the Consequences of Sexual Objectification (2008, background): “For example, Botta (2000) found that, for both Black and White girls, greater idealization of television images was associated with a stronger drive for thinness and greater body dissatisfaction.”
The role of the media in body image concerns among women: a meta-analysis of experimental and correlational studies. (2008, methodology): “…beta weights from multiple regressions had been used as opposed to correlations representing the relation between media use and body image (e.g., Botta, 1999, 2000; Harrison, 1997; E. Henderson-King & Henderson-King, 1997; Jane, Hunter, & Lozzi, 1999)2; (b) the methodology was not appropriate,…”

Social Media Effects on Young Women’s Body Image Concerns: Theoretical Perspectives and an Agenda for Research (2014, background): “African-American women are less prone to be dissatisfied with their bodies than White women (Botta 2000; Fitzsimmons-Craft and Bardone-Cone 2012; Franko and Roehrig 2011; Gillen and Lefkowitz 2012), in light of different subcultural norms.”
Influence of Mass Media on Body Image and Eating Disordered Attitudes and Behaviors in Females: A Review of Effects and Processes (2010, background): “On the one hand, a set of studies provides evidence that Black girls and women are just as vulnerable to effects of images represented in the media too (see, e.g., Borzekowski et al., 2000; Botta, 2000; Gordon, 2008).”
Does Race Matter? (2004, result): “These data are consistent with prior research that found that African American women are able to buffer self-esteem when exposed to idealized images in ads (e.g., see Botta, 2000; Caution, 1984; Milkie, 1999).”
Integrating Black feminist thought into conceptual frameworks of African American adolescent women's sexual scripting processes (2005, background): “Thus, the projected scripts provide a means to gauge how they measure up to images projected as ideal (Botta, 2000; Comstock & Scharrer, 1999).”
Racial Identity and the Development of Body Image Issues among African American Adolescent Girls (2004, background): “…and African-American women and adolescents is increasingly becoming a part of research agendas (Atlas, Smith, Hohlstein, McCarthy, & Kroll, 2002; Botta, 2000; Chandler, Abood, Lee, Cleveland, & Daly 1994; DiGioacchino, Sargent, & Topping, 2001; Falconer & Neville 2000; Harris, 1994; Molloy &…”
