The role of the media in body image concerns among women: a meta-analysis of experimental and correlational studies. (2008, background): “…bodies are so skewed, showcasing an ideal that is out of reach to most, adopting this reality may lead to decreased satisfaction with one’s own body (e.g., Levine & Harrison, 2004) and to behaviors aimed at meeting this ideal, behaviors such as dieting, bingeing and purging, and skipping meals.”

Oppressive Beliefs at Play: Associations among Beauty Ideals and Practices and Individual Differences in Sexism, Objectification of Others, and Media Exposure (2010, background): “Within this perspective, it is argued that some media communicate and reinforce beauty ideals, which are then internalized and used by individuals when judging oth- ers (Levine & Harrison, 2004).”
The sociocultural attitudes towards appearance scale-3 (SATAQ-3): development and validation. (2004, unknown): “…evidence that the internalization dimension is predictive of the onset of eating disturbances and responsive to intervention techniques (Levine & Harrison, 2004; Stice & Hoffman, 2004; Thompson & Stice, 2001), it would appear relevant to evaluate these new dimensions of athlete-internalization,…”
