“…Past research literature provides conclusive evidence that fashion and shopping behavior differ among men and women (e.g., Campbell, 1997; Chang et al, 2004; Otnes & McGrath, 2001). Scholars have documented gender socialization as the cause behind the strong linkages observed between femininity and interest in beauty and fashion (Freedman, 1986; Paoletti & Kregloh, 1989). Women have a higher level of fashion consciousness and stronger interest in shopping (e.g., Chang et al, 2004).…”

Fashion leadership is an important consumer characteristic due to the interpersonal influence essential in the consumption process of apparel. Based on the human motivations theory and Sheth’s shopping preference theory, this study examines the hypothesized relationships of fashion leadership and five hedonic shopping motivations (gratification, value, social, idea, and adventure). This study advances current understanding of fashion leadership by studying a broad national female population base and offers empirical evidence into how fashion leadership shapes consumer need for emotional and experiential satisfaction in shopping. Results show fashion leadership to be significantly related to all but one hedonic shopping motivation. Additionally, this study finds that adventure shopping motivation may be derived from other types of hedonic shopping activities. Discussion concerning how current findings expand our understanding of fashion leadership within the context of shopping is presented.

“…The current beauty ideal requires not only youth, but thinness, which has been a central feature of Western beauty culture for about 50 years. In fact, as the average woman in the United States grew larger, the ideal woman got smaller (Freedman, 1986; Stearns, 1997). This trend means that fewer and fewer women will find it possible even to approach the ideal body weight and shape; however, that virtual impossibility does not stop many women from attempting unsafe weight loss.…”

Women's bodies have often been positioned in art and popular culture as monstrous or defiled and women's bodily products (e.g., menstrual fluid, breast milk) as disgusting. This framing has led to the stigmatization of aspects of women's bodies (e.g., leaking fluids, lumps of fat, and lines in the skin that indicate aging), especially those aspects that are perceived as threats to culture and society. In this article, the author draws on feminist theory, stigma theory, and terror management theory to explain the positioning of menstruating, fat, and old women as threatening and stigmatized. Evidence for the stigma is discussed, as are the effects of stigma on the stigmatized and the stigmatizers. Ways of resisting, reframing, and coping with stigma are suggested.

“…Decades of work by feminist social scientists, philosophers, and social critics have documented the social pressures for physical attractiveness on girls and women (e.g., Adams & Crossman, 1978; Bartky, 1990; Brumberg, 1997; Fallon, 1990; Faludi, 1991; Freedman, 1986; Wolf, 1991). More than is the case for men, women and girls are socialized to attend to and enhance their physical appearance and are evaluated by others on the basis of their attractiveness.…”

Rates of cosmetic surgery procedures have increased dramatically over the past several decades, but only recently have studies of cosmetic surgery attitudes among the general population begun to appear in the literature. The vast majority of those who undergo cosmetic surgery are women. We examined cosmetic surgery attitudes among 218 undergraduate women, most of whom were White. Specifically, we examined their acceptance of cosmetic surgery and expressed desire to undergo cosmetic surgery procedures, and several potential predictors: appearance attitudes of mothers, fathers, and friends; awareness and internalization of sociocultural appearance messages; and materialism. Multiple regression analyses indicated that materialism and internalization of sociocultural messages consistently emerged as significant predictors of acceptance of cosmetic surgery and desire for cosmetic surgery procedures. Paternal attitudes positively predicted acceptance of cosmetic surgery for social reasons and desire for cosmetic surgery; nonmaterialism negatively predicted considering cosmetic surgery and the desire for cosmetic surgery procedures.
