DOWNLOAD EBOOKLeading theoreticians and researchers present current thinking about the role played by group memberships in people's sense of who they are and what they are worth. The chapters build on the assumption, developed out of social identity theory, that people create a social self that both defines them and shapes their attitudes and behaviors. The authors address new developments in the theoretical frameworks through which we understand the social self, recent research on the nature of the social self, and recent findings about the influence of social context upon the development and maintenance of the social self.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBody Image: Understanding Body Dissatisfaction in Men, Women and Children presents a review of what is presently known and the results of some new research on body image. It compares the effects of gender, sexuality, social class, age and ethnicity on satisfaction with the way we look and suggests how these differences arise. Why, for instance, are heterosexual men much happier with their body images than women or gay men? Sarah Grogan discusses the effect of media presentation of the ideal body and other cultural influences. Surprisingly, despite the almost exclusive media preference for very young female bodies, she finds that older women are not less satisfied with their bodies than younger women. Written for readers from a variety of disciplines, this clear and eclectic book will make the ideal text for students from psychology, sociology, gender and media studies.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA great deal of research has sought to demonstrate a relation between exposure to thin-ideal media images and body-image disturbance among women. Many of these studies have found that exposure to thin-ideal images has either an adverse main effect on self perceptions or an interactive effect with pre-existing body-image disturbance, such that individuals with pre-existing body image disturbance experience adverse effects of these images. However, women are also frequently exposed to thin others through their interactions with peers, but relatively little research has examined the effects of exposure to thin peers on body dissatisfaction. Furthermore, closer examination of the literature reveals inconsistent effects of exposure to thin-ideal fashion models both across and within studies. The purpose of this series of studies was to demonstrate that young women who are concerned about their weight will use information about a peer's weight to evaluate themselves and that, in general, social comparisons of body weight with thin peers have a more negative impact than comparisons with fashion models because peers are more similar and therefore more relevant for self-evaluation. Studies 1 and 2 aimed to demonstrate that information about a peer's weight is used to determine self-evaluation among young women who are concerned about their body weight. Studies 3 and 4 directly compared the effects of exposure to thin and attractive fashion models and peers with the aim of demonstrating that young women are more adversely affected by thin and attractive peers than fashion models. The results of study 1 showed negative effects of exposure to a peer's weight on body dissatisfaction and appearance state self-esteem among restrained eaters. The subsequent two studies failed to detect a negative impact of exposure to information about a peer's weight. However, study 4 found that for participants with low trait appearance self-esteem only, exposure to a thin and attractive peer resulted in lower global state self-esteem. Exposure to thin peers does not appear to have consistent negative effects on young women. The effects of exposure to thin peers appear to be similar to the effects of exposure to thin fashion models---in that the effects are inconsistent.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFor two and a half years, Amanda Czerniawski was a sociologist turned plus-size model. Journeying into a world where, as a size 10, she was not considered an average body type, but rather, for the fashion industry, “plus-sized,” Czerniawski studied the standards of work and image production in the plus-sized model industry. Fashioning Fat takes us through a model’s day-to-day activities, first at open calls at modeling agencies and then through the fashion shows and photo shoots. Czerniawski also interviewed 35 plus-size models about their lives in the world of fashion, bringing to life the strange contradictions of being an object of non-idealized beauty. Fashioning Fat shows us that the mission of many of these models is to challenge our standards of beauty that privilege the thin body; they show us that fat can be sexy. Many plus-size models do often succeed in overcoming years of self-loathing and shame over their bodies, yet, as Czerniawski shows, these women are not the ones in charge of beauty’s construction or dissemination. At the corporate level, the fashion industry perpetuates their objectification. Plus-size models must conform to an image created by fashion’s tastemakers, as their bodies must fit within narrowly defined parameters of size and shape—an experience not too different from that of straight-sized models. Ultimately, plus-size models find that they are still molding their bodies to fit an image instead of molding an image of beauty to fit their bodies. A much-needed behind-the-scenes look at this growing industry, Fashioning Fat is a fascinating, unique, and important contribution to our understanding of beauty.
