Book Synopsis Self-objectification in Women by : Stacey Tantleff-Dunn
Download or read book Self-objectification in Women written by Stacey Tantleff-Dunn and published by American Psychological Association (APA). This book was released on 2011 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Modern industrialized society chronically and pervasively objectifies the female body, and many women have come to view themselves through the lens of an external observer, habitually monitoring their own appearance whether in public or private settings. Given the negative effects associated with self-objectification--such as body shame, appearance anxiety, depression, and disordered eating--an empirically based approach to researching and counteracting self-objectification is critical. This book integrates recent research developments and current clinical knowledge on self-objectification in women. Using Barbara L. Fredrickson and Tomi-Ann Roberts' objectification theory as a framework, the contributors address various aspects of the theory, including evidence for and causes of self-objectification across the life span, psychological consequences, and associated mental health risks. The book also discusses various scales for measuring self-objectification, as well as approaches to prevent and disrupt this phenomenon. With research from a variety of disciplines--psychology, sociology, anthropology, women's studies, and political science--this book should be read by everyone interested in the well-being of women"--Publicity materials.

Download or read book Pornland written by Gail Dines and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2010-08-06 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor Gail Dines has written about and researched the porn industry for over two decades. She attends industry conferences, interviews producers and performers, and speaks to hundreds of men and women each year about their experience with porn. Students and educators describe her work as “life changing.” In Pornland—the culmination of her life’s work—Dines takes an unflinching look at porn and its affect on our lives. Astonishingly, the average age of first viewing porn is now 11.5 years for boys, and with the advent of the Internet, it’s no surprise that young people are consuming more porn than ever. But, as Dines shows, today’s porn is strikingly different from yesterday’s Playboy. As porn culture has become absorbed into pop culture, a new wave of entrepreneurs are creating porn that is even more hard-core, violent, sexist, and racist. To differentiate their products in a glutted market, producers have created profitable niche products—like teen sex, torture porn, and gonzo—in order to entice a generation of desensitized users. Going from the backstreets to Wall Street, Dines traces the extensive money trail behind this multibillion-dollar industry—one that reaps more profits than the film and music industries combined. Like Big Tobacco—with its powerful lobbying groups and sophisticated business practices—porn companies don’t simply sell products. Rather they influence legislators, partner with mainstream media, and develop new technologies like streaming video for cell phones. Proving that this assembly line of content is actually limiting our sexual freedom, Dines argues that porn’s omnipresence has become a public health concern we can no longer ignore.

Book Synopsis The Need to be 'liked' in the Selfie Generation by : Leslie Gilhooly
Download or read book The Need to be 'liked' in the Selfie Generation written by Leslie Gilhooly and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's young adults, or Millennials, have been nicknamed the "selfie" generation due to their high rates of social media use and unique position as the first generation to experience the formative years of late childhood through emerging adulthood on social media. Social media offers an easy way to connect and share with countless others online and provides users a unique opportunity to carefully construct positive representations of themselves for others to view. Research shows this aspect of social media contributes to harmful social comparisons that influence users' self-esteem and subjective well-being. These findings are particularly concerning for the current general of young adult women, given that females are most active on social media and tend to be especially vulnerable to threats to self-esteem and social comparison throughout crucial developmental years. This study aimed to investigate the impact of social media use on today's young adult women by examining the role of social comparison in the relationship between social media use, self-esteem, and life satisfaction in a sample of 118 female Facebook and Instagram users ages 18-31 years. In addition to overall social media use, this study also examined the specific activity of posting selfies, or self-photography, and the social comparison processes involved in the way young women evaluate themselves based on the amount of positive feedback they receive on those selfies in the form of "likes," "favorites," and comments from other users. Results of correlational analyses showed that increased social media use was related to decreased self-esteem and life satisfaction in this sample of young adult women. A greater tendency to compare oneself to others was also associated with decreased self-esteem and life satisfaction. Of greatest significance, results showed that participants' self-esteem and life satisfaction depended on the way they evaluated themselves based on the amount of positive feedback they received on their selfies compared to the amount other users receive.
Book Synopsis The Psychology of the Selfie by : Barrie Gunter
Download or read book The Psychology of the Selfie written by Barrie Gunter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-01 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Psychology of the Selfie provides a comprehensive overview and analysis of research on the significance of selfies, offering insights into the topic from a psychological perspective and examining important issues such as body image, self-objectification, mental health and psychological benefits. Selfies are a worldwide phenomenon. Although dismissed by critics as a sign of self-absorbed narcissism, they are also a social currency that maintains and reinforces friendships, a feedback loop for self-identity affirmation, a promotional tool for gaining social influence, and a method for preserving memories of life events. In this book, Barrie Gunter expertly explores the psychological underpinnings of the contemporary global phenomenon of "selfies", from the historical roots and meteoric rise due to technical advancements, to the different personality types of selfie-takers, to social relationships, to group and personal identity. Looking at both the psychological nature and impact of selfies, this book reviews different psychological outcomes for selfie-takers, both positive and negative, and the growth in psychological and physical problems that can sometimes arise. Presenting a comprehensive analysis specifically of selfie behaviour, this book is an essential reference for students and researchers in communications and media, journalism, information studies, psychology and sociology, as well as anyone with a general interest in the phenomenon.
Download or read book More Than a Body written by Lexie Kite and published by Houghton Mifflin. This book was released on 2020-12-29 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drs. Lindsay and Lexie Kite know firsthand how hard filtering out media influence is when it comes to self-image. Both struggled as young women to overcome the expectations of body size and shape, but were able to learn to love, appreciate, and reclaim their own bodies, eventually earning their PhDs in body image resilience. The twin sisters founded the nonprofit Beauty Redefined and have made it their mission to help other women see themselves without societal expectations distorting their self-perception. More than a Body is a self-help book focused on going beyond body positivity, showing how a mindset focused on appearance sets women up for insecurities and self-judgement. In this book, they offer an action plan for readers to combat that mindset, and instead learn how the body can be "an instrument, not an ornament," with practical, actionable steps to take when consuming media, exercising, practicing self-reflection and self-compassion, and finding a purpose in life.

Book Synopsis Social Media Usage and Its Relationship to Self-Esteem Among Female Adolescents by : Ann Berrios
Download or read book Social Media Usage and Its Relationship to Self-Esteem Among Female Adolescents written by Ann Berrios and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolescents, much like the adult population in the 21st century, use and perhaps overuse technology. Beyond required access for classwork and homework, adolescents spend an average of nine hours a day online (American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 2018; Common Sense Media, 2015; Rosen et al., 2014). In conjunction with digital advancements and time spent engaging with technology, an expanding body of research on the mental health of adolescents in the United States continues to emerge. Creating a firm sense of identity is a crucial component of adolescent development. This research sought to explore the relationship between social media usage and high school students’ positive and negative feelings of self-worth to gain an understanding about how students’ online participation with social media drove their self-esteem. Through the conceptual framework of pragmatism, this study explored the experiences of female high school adolescents at two high schools to understand the relationship between their social media usage and perceptions of their self-esteem. This study focused on the following research questions: 1. How do high school female adolescents describe their use of social media (frequency, content, communication, etc.)? 2. How do high school female adolescents connect what they see and hear on social media to their feelings of self-worth? As a qualitative study, this researcher utilized a descriptive survey, semi-structured student interviews, and focus group interviews. Data were analyzed and triangulated for emergent themes and findings. The study’s results identified three findings: (a) user participation depended on the social relevance of the social media platform; (b) female adolescents shared what they wanted others to see about them; (c) peer response and peers’ posts on social media affected self-esteem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Psychology - Social Psychology, grade: 97.0, language: English, abstract: Social media has completely transformed the way we communicate, form and nurture relationships, and interact with the people in our lives. For adolescents growing up as digital natives, social media usage can serve as a unique obstacle to their emotional and behavioral development as they continue to try to master such tasks as effective communication, emotional regulation, impulse control and identify formation in what is essentially a virtual reality. This paper examines the effect social media has on the attitudes and behavior of adolescent girls and attempts to identify some of the major concerns their participation raises. Utilizing data from peer-reviewed journals, case studies, and independent surveys, we examine some of the major impacts social media usage has on young female users including changes in self-esteem, responsibility, levels of aggression and academic performance.
Book Synopsis Selective Exposure To Communication by : Dolf Zillmann
Download or read book Selective Exposure To Communication written by Dolf Zillmann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-04 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1985. Research into what is usually referred to as mass communication has concentrated on the societal impact of the media. The ways in which these media influence people and affect their behavior have been at issue. For the most part, undesirable effects were pondered and documented. Only a few desirable effects received similar attention and scrutiny. The research preoccupation with impact has been so pronounced that, comparatively speaking, next to no attention has been paid to questions such as why people enjoy whatever they elect to watch or hear, and more fundamentally, why they elect to watch or hear, in the first place, whatever it is that they elect to watch or hear. Without a symposium on research into selective exposure to informative and entertaining messages nor a publication that brought together the recent research in this area, this volume was put together in an effort to end this dilemma and to put selective-exposure research on the map as a significant research venture.

Book Synopsis Visual Culture Approaches to the Selfie by : Derek Conrad Murray
Download or read book Visual Culture Approaches to the Selfie written by Derek Conrad Murray and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-19 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection explores the cultural fascination with social media forms of self-portraiture, "selfies," with a specific interest in online self-imaging strategies in a Western context. This book examines the selfie as a social and technological phenomenon but also engages with digital self-portraiture as representation: as work that is committed to rigorous object-based analysis. The scholars in this volume consider the topic of online self-portraiture—both its social function as a technology-driven form of visual communication, as well as its thematic, intellectual, historical, and aesthetic intersections with the history of art and visual culture. This book will be of interest to scholars of photography, art history, and media studies.
