The impact of media images on adolescents' body image and thin ideal endorsement has been consistently asserted in the body image literature, yet has remained inadequately tested. I used social comparison theory and critical viewing with a sample of 214 high schoolgirls to predict adolescents' body-image disturbance and thin ideal endorsement. Media variables accounted for 15% of the variance for drive for thinness, 17% for body dissatisfaction, 16% for bulimic behaviors, and 33% for thin ideal endorsement. Results suggest that body image processing is the key to understanding how television images affect adolescent girls' body-image attitudes and behaviors.
