The Effect of Thin Ideal Media Images on Women’s Self-Objectification, Mood, and Body Image (2008, background): “Current sociocultural theory offers the most robust theoretical framework for understanding body dissatisfaction, contending that the thin ideal is created and reinforced by a number of social influences (Thompson et al. 1999).”

Examining a Multidimensional Model of Eating Disorder Symptomatology among College Women. (2004, neutral): “To our knowledge, no research to date has examined whether pressure for thinness directly predicts negative affect or poor social support, but on the basis of the theory of Thompson et al. (1999) and Pipher (1994), these relations seem defensible.”

Social Media Effects on Young Women’s Body Image Concerns: Theoretical Perspectives and an Agenda for Research (2014, background): “2009), and the sociocultural perspective on body image (Thompson et al. 1999; Tiggemann 2011) assign central importance to media, emphasizing that exposure to media messages can impart unrealistic images of female beauty.”
Body Size Stereotyping and Internalization of the Thin Ideal in Preschool Girls (2010, background): “…girls and women cognitively accept the cultural beauty ideal of thinness and a slender body shape as their own personal standard and engage in behaviors designed to help them meet that standard (Thompson et al. 1999; Thompson and Stice 2001)—and is typically measured via self-report questionnaires.”
The Relationship Between Body Image Concerns, Eating Disorders and Internet Use, Part I: A Review of Empirical Support (2016, background): “Sociocultural Theory Cultivation The sociocultural theory of body image and eating concerns emphasizes the role of messages from media and interpersonal influences such as peers and parents on body image and eating concerns (Thompson et al. 1999).”

Ethnicity and body dissatisfaction among women in the United States: a meta-analysis. (2006, background): “Body image dissatisfaction creates risk for mental health concerns that disproportionately affect women: Women experience higher levels of depression (sex ratio 2:1; NolenHoeksema, 1987, 2001; J.
