Understanding the Impact of Thin Media Models on Women's Body-Focused Affect: The Roles of Thin-Ideal Internalization and Weight-Related Self-Discrepancy Activation in Experimental Exposure Effects (2009, background): “Only two previous studies address the association between self-discrepancies and media exposure, one showing that preexisting self-discrepancies mediate the relationships between prolonged exposure to thin-ideal media and adolescents’ body dissatisfaction (Harrison, 2001), and the other that body im”
The Impact of Sexually Objectifying Media Exposure on Negative Body Emotions and Sexual Self-Perceptions: Investigating the Mediating Role of Body Self-Consciousness (2007, background): “In addition, Harrison (2001) showed that body-specific discrepancies, in which participants reported a discrepancy between how they actually look and how they would ideally like to look, mediated the relations between exposure to thin-ideal media and eating disorder symptomatology.”
Crime News and Racialized Beliefs: Understanding the Relationship Between Local News Viewing and Perceptions of African Americans and Crime (2008, methodology): “In order to understand whether this misrepresentation influenced perceptions of Blacks and crime, a media measure was created based on calculations advanced by Huesmann and colleagues (Harrison, 2001; Huesmann & Miller, 1994; Huesmann, Moise, & Podolski, 1997).”
Frequent Social Comparisons and Destructive Emotions and Behaviors: The Dark Side of Social Comparisons (2006, background): “Research on eating disorders, for example, points to external standards of body size and shape in the media as factors in individual pathology ( Harrison, 2001; Stice, Spangler, & Agras, 2001).”
Media Exposure, Current and Future Body Ideals, and Disordered Eating Among Preadolescent Girls: A Longitudinal Panel Study (2006, background): “This basic theoretical argument is implicit in media effects research on body image and eating disorders from a variety of theoretical perspectives including social comparison theory (e.g., Botta, 1999), social learning theory (e.g., Harrison and Cantor, 1997), and self-discrepancy theory (e.g., Ha”
Body Image and Self-Esteem Among Adolescent Girls: Testing the Influence of Sociocultural Factors (2005, background): “Harrison (2001) found that exposure to thin-ideal TV was associated with a rise in eating disorder symptoms in adolescent girls; this effect was partially mediated through increasing perceived discrepancies between actual and ideal body shape.”
Longer-term implications of responsiveness to 'thin-ideal' television: support for a cumulative hypothesis of body image disturbance (2003, unknown): “, 1999; Harrison, 2000, 2001; Harrison & Cantor, 1997; Levine, Smolak, & Hayden, 1994; Stice, Schupak-Neuberg, Shaw, & Stein, 1994), particularly the consumption of media high in appearance content, such as fashion magazines, television soap operas and music videos (Anderson, Huston, Schmitt, Lineba”
The Good, the Bad, and the Beautiful (2010, methodology): “Using self-discrepancy theory as a framework, Harrison (2001) explored the effects of induced discrepancies by manipulating images to either show thinness being rewarded or obesity being punished.”
Mass Media and Self-Esteem, Body Image, and Eating Disorder Tendencies (2007, background): “In a study by Harrison (2001), respondents rated television program characters’ body sizes using a 7-point rating scale (1 = conspicuously fat and 7 = conspicuously thin).”
For Your Health? The Relationship Between Magazine Reading and Adolescents' Body Image and Eating Disturbances (2003, result): “The findings of the present study and others (e.g., Cusumano & Thompson, 1997; Harrison, 2001; Levine et al., 1994) support the argument that processing is a better indicator of BIED than exposure.”
Changes in Television and Magazine Exposure and Eating Disorder Symptomatology (2003, background): “Second, variables that mediate the relationship between media use and eating issues should be examined (e.g., Harrison, 2001; Stice et al., 1994; Stice & Bearman, 2001).”
Who's that Girl: Television's Role in the Body Image Development of Young White and Black Women (2004, background): “…typically supports this notion, indicating associations between greater body dissatisfaction and both higher levels of overall TV viewing (e.g., Harrison, 2001; Harrison & Cantor, 1997; but see Botta, 2000, for null results), and higher levels of 38 exposure to specific genres such as music…”
