    Ultra-thin models may hurt women’s self-esteem, study finds
    by Beth Krane – December 11, 2006

    Magazine ads featuring ultra-thin models may make young women feel worse about themselves, especially if they already suffer from poor body image, according to a new study conducted by Gayle Bessenoff, an assistant professor of psychology based at the Stamford campus.

    Bessenoff’s findings were published in the most recent issue of Psychology of Women Quarterly.

    (Note: Psychology of Women Quarterly, Vol. 30, issue 4, pg 239 “Can the Media Affect us? Social Comparision, Self-Discrepancy, and the Thin Ideal.”)
