Depression And Body Image Among College Student Women." College Student
Journal 45.2 (2011): 439-448. Academic Search Premier. Web. 15 Oct. 2015.
This peer reviewed article talked about
an experiment that was conducted with female college students. The experiment
had images of thin attractive models, and after the college students reviewed
these images their reactions and comments about their own bodies were recorded.
At the end of the day each women expressed dissatisfaction with their body and
were continuously comparing themselves to the images of the thin models. I will
use this information to make a strong point about the large number of women who
are constantly degrading themselves because of images they see of other women.

This peer reviewed article focused more
on adolescent girls, and how they viewed themselves after looking through
modeling magazines. Most girls, just as the college students in my above article,
compared themselves to the images. The article continues talking about low self
esteem and the effects of the Medias idea of an “ideal body.” This source will
be useful because it gives me adifferent age range and I can express how young
girls and women suffer the same thing.

This peer reviewed article discusses
more about the side effects women suffer from the Medias representation of
beauty. Women begin to show signs of depression and hate towards their body
because they don’t look perfect. This article will give me good facts of the
side effects women face and this will help me make a strong argument.

This article, again, focused on adolescent girls. This
time the article focused more on the effects of knowing and comparing body mass
indexes. Each participant in the study showed negative mood swings after the
experiment, and almost half of the participants said no to participate in phase
two of the study. This will tie into my other source that dealt with adolescent
girls and allow me to have more sufficient evidence.

This articles describes an ongoing Body Project which is trying to mold a
new age look at beauty. It talks about loving yourself in your own skin and to
stop comparing yourself to what others want you to look like and appreciate
what your body looks like. This articles stresses the idea of self love and
self worth. I will use this source to display how people are trying to spread
the word and make a change.
Female
Body Image and the Mass Media: Perspectives on How Women Internalize the Ideal
Beauty Standard” Westminster. Westminster, web. 13 Oct. 2015.
This web page talks about how the “ideal body image”
is almost unattainable to achieve, and dangerous to attempt. The article
describes why the body image is unattainable due to the heavy photo shopping
modeling and magazines companies take part in. The ideal body image is a false
advertisement. This site will be use a lot throughout my paper, and I will use
this to help me make a strong thesis

This articles talks about the severe physical
effects that can occur to young women who feel that their body is not perfect.

dissatisfaction. I will be able to use this site as an example of the negative
effects that are currently happening to women across the nation.

This article talks about Doves efforts to re invent
a new form of beauty. It also displays pictures from different women expressing
their flaws and loving themselves in hopes to set a new tone for the rest of
women in America. I plan on using this article more towards the end of my paper
to show that every woman is beautiful and that each of our flaws makes us who
we are, because we are all different, and that’s the beauty of it.

This peer reviewed article took females, ages 18-55,
and studied their eye movement when seeing other women who were thin and
attractive. They studied their eye movement and linked it to the parts of their
body that they were critiquing themselves and comparing too. I will use this
source as a different view on how women today are constantly comparing us to
one another.

This article consisted of more information on body dissatisfaction.
It did more experiments on body mass index, and with the different sources I
have found regarding body mass index and female reaction to it, I will use it
to create a stronger point when I address it in my paper.

This particular article focuses on how young women
between the ages of 15-17 admit to trying to lose weight and diet to look like
celebrities they see in magazines. The young women also talk about trying to
follow the celebrities exact diet tips. This information will be very useful in
my paper because it will allow me to show just how much young women yearn to
look like what they see in the media.

In this article the author talks about the constant
exposure to ultra thin models and celebrities in the media, and how it is the
underlying reason why there is a social pressure to be thin. Because of mass media alone, a large amount
of women's sense of worth and value are negatively affected. This article gives
me a lot of good information that I will be able to put into my introduction
paragraph.
Moore,

This website allows me to read over a PowerPoint
that discusses women’s roles in advertisements. It showed different images of
women who have been photo shopped for their ad and other photos show women un-photo
shopped. Addressing these pictures in my paper will lead allow my audience to
really understand how damaging the Medias effect can have on women.

This site provided me more information
on the anxiety women feel after viewing images of an idealized female body. It
talks more about how women compare and what body parts they are more likely to

women compare each other.

This article displayed images of “super
woman” which showcased women as strong and independent. The article described
the photos expressing that women can do it all. Women can work long weeks and
come home to their families and continue working. I will use these findings in
my paper to show what positive media towards women looks like.

Beauty.” New York. Palgrave Macmillan. 2012. Print.
This book is the forgotten story of a
group of women copywriters who launched an ad campaign in the 1920s and spread
an American notion of feminine appeal from Bangor to Bangkok. This will be very
useful in my paper because I will be able to express just how long this issue
has been relevant.
Lawrence, Mary. “A Big Life- In Advertising.” Touchstone.

This book is yet another story about how
a young woman built herself up in a big city. I will use this source as an
abstract view that beauty isn’t just looks it is power too. A woman who is self
made and accomplishes goals on her own is beautiful.

This site talks about the large amount
of body shaming done after women view images of thin attractive women. It
discusses more of the psychological effects that women suffer. This will be
good information to use in my paper because it is a different view point I can
let the readers understand.
