“…Women, who have a schema on appearance, place high cognitive importance on appearance and invest greatly in their appearances (Cash & Pruzinsky, ; Grogan, ). In addition, those who have high schema on appearance are more likely to have a lower body image, lower self‐esteem, and more negative moods than those who have no or low schema on appearance (Cash & Labarge, ; Cash & Pruzinsky, ; Hargreaves & Tiggemann, ; Ip & Jarry, ; Jung, ; Jung et al., ).…”

“…The motivational salience was less vulnerable relative to the self‐evaluative salience. Ip and Jarry () found women who were high in both self‐evaluative and motivational appearance schema had lower self‐esteem after being exposed to thin‐ideal images. Only those who were high in self‐evaluative appearance schema had greater body dissatisfaction and greater self‐discrepancy.…”

The purpose of this study was to examine how self‐discrepancy and self‐schema influence the effects of exposure to thin versus nonidealized model images on young women's body dissatisfaction, body anxiety, and self‐esteem as an antecedent and moderator. Female college students at a Midwestern university (n = 380) responded to a web‐based survey with stimuli that consisted of thin, nonidealized, and no model images in fashion ads. Results indicated appearance self‐discrepancy and self‐evaluative schema in appearance augmented body dissatisfaction and body anxiety, and decreased self‐esteem, whereas motivational schema in appearance reduced body anxiety and improved self‐esteem. There were no differences in body dissatisfaction, body anxiety, and self‐esteem from these three model stimuli. However, participants with higher appearance self‐discrepancy had greater body dissatisfaction and body anxiety when exposed to thin‐idealized model images rather than nonidealized model images. Self‐evaluative and motivational schema in appearance did not play a moderating role on the effects of exposure to thin versus nonidealized model images on body dissatisfaction, body anxiety, and self‐esteem. Appearance self‐discrepancy provides better insights for the effects of media on body image and self‐esteem than appearance self‐schema as a moderator.

“…Te sheme obuhvataju i kognitivnu komponentu poremećaja slike tela koja se odnosi na stav prema telesnom izgledu, kao i na stepen u kojem osoba ulaže u svoj fizički izgled (Cash, Melnyk, & Hrabosky, 2004). Osim toga, nezadovolјstvo telom je često ispitivano u eksperimentalnim studijama kao moderator odgovora na vizuelne materijale koji prikazuju ideal vitkosti koji je propagiran u medijima (Ip & Jarry, 2008). U tom smislu se navodi da žene koje su nezadovolјne svojim izgledom i težinom negativnije odgovaraju na vizuelne materijale koji predstavlјaju idealizovan mršav izgled (Groesz, Levine, & Murnen, 2002).…”

Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je da se ispita uticaj stepena pokrivenosti telana evaluaciju fizičkog izgleda putem emocionalno obojenih reči kod muslimanki pokrivenog i nepokrivenog stila oblačenja. U svrhe utvrđivanja eksperimentalnih efekata na brzinu procene reči, primenjena je procedura afektivnog primovanja. Obuhvaće-na su dva ponovljena faktora sa po dva nivoa: PRIM (fotografije ženskih figura ispodprosečne i iznadprosečne telesne težine) i META (pozitivna i negativna reč). Uzorak se sastojao od 60 studentkinja muslimanske veroispovesti koje su podeljene u dve grupe. Kriterijum razvrstavanja u grupe bio je način odevanja, pri čemu su prvu grupu činile ispitanice koje nose tradicionalnu muslimansku odeću koja podrazumeva pokrivenost celog tela osim lica i šaka (hidžab), dok su drugu grupu činile ispitanice koje u svom odevanju prate aktuelne modne trendove karakteristične za generaciju kojoj pripadaju. Osim eksperimentalne procedure, korišćeni su i Upitnik opštih podataka i Upitnik opšteg (ne)zadovolјstva telom (BSQ). Dobijeni rezultati pokazuju da kod obe grupe ispitanih postoji statistički značajna interakcija PRIM x META(F=14.189; p<.001). Osnovni efekat afektivne valence prima i grupe, kao ni afektivne valence mete i grupe nisu dostigli statističku značajnost. Između dve ispitane grupe nisu dobijene značajne razlike u brzini procene pozitivnih i negativnih reči, ali je post-hoc testovima utvrđeno da ispitanice modernog stila oblačenja značajno brže procenjuju tip reči mete nakon izlaganja fotografija mršavih figura nego kada im se prvo prikazuje fotografija gojazne figure (p<.05). Ti rezultati ukazuju na to da je kod studentkinja koje prate savremene modne trendove u oblačenju uočena preferencija mršave figure u odnosu na studentkinje koje se oblače u skladu sa muslimanskom tradicijom, te da možemo govoriti o različitoj internalizaciji zapadnih standarda lepote kod te dve grupe.Ključne reči: percepcija slike tela, emocionalno obojene reči, afektivno primovanje, hidžab.

“…Body image was chosen as the specific domain to study given that a woman's perception of her body can be central to her sense of self. Furthermore, body-image satisfaction has been shown to be related to overall self-esteem and self-efficacy (Ip & Jarry, 2008;Mercurio & Landry, 2008;Verplanken & Velsvik, 2008). Given that previous research on the measurement of implicit beliefs about the self has found a weak correlation between implicit and explicit measures of self-esteem (Greenwald et al, 2002;Olson et al, 2007;Yamaguchi et al, 2007), it was hypothesized that women would have positive D IRAP scores and that the size of the D IRAP score would be significantly (but weakly) associated with greater body-image satisfaction and body-image acceptance and less internalization of the thin ideal.…”
