Such body dissatisfaction has been linked to increased negative affect, unhealthy dieting practices, and the development of eating disorders (Stice, 2001; Stice & Shaw, 2002). Recent research has emerged indicating that both the media and maternal influence can affect prepubescent girls’ body image. However, this research has examined maternal direct and indirect influences on prepubescent daughters using reports primarily from daughters. The current study used reports from prepubescent daughters and their mothers to examine media and maternal direct and indirect influence on prepubescent daughters’ body dissatisfaction. The daughters completed self-report measures of media internalization and body dissatisfaction and their mothers completed self-report measures of maternal influence on daughters’ body dissatisfaction. Results indicated that direct maternal influence, indirect maternal influence and media did not individually or in combination predict daughters’ body dissatisfaction as measured by the Children’s Figure Rating Scale. However, further analyses with the variables Pressure to Eat (direct maternal influence), maternal body dissatisfaction (indirect maternal influence) and media in combination significantly predicted 34% of the variance of daughters’ body dissatisfaction. Based on the results, there may be a potential relationship between mothers’ body dissatisfaction, influence on daughters’ eating, and prepubescent girls’ body dissatisfaction that warrants further investigation 2015-07-01 English text Xavier University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=xavier1435676066 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=xavier1435676066 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
