Book excerpt: "Ideas move mountains, especially in turbulent times. Lovemarks is the product of the fertile-iconoclast mind of Kevin Roberts, CEO Worldwide of Saatchi & Saatchi. Roberts argues vociferously, and with a ton of data to support him, that traditional branding practices have become stultified. What’s needed are customer Love affairs. Roberts lays out his grand scheme for mystery, magic, sensuality, and the like in his gloriously designed book Lovemarks.” —Tom Peters Tom Peters, one of the most influential business thinkers of all time, described the first edition of Lovemarks: the future beyond brands as “brilliant.” He also announced it as the “Best Business Book” published in the first five years of this century. Now translated into fourteen languages, with more than 150,000 copies in print, Lovemarks is back in a revised edition featuring a new chapter on the peculiarly human experience of shopping. The new chapter, "Diamonds in the Mine," is an insightful collection of ideas for producers and consumers, for owners of small stores and operators of superstores. So forget making lists! Shopping, says Kevin Roberts, is an emotional event. With this as a starting point, he looks at the history of shopping and how it has changed so dramatically over the last ten years. Using the Lovemark elements of Mystery, Sensuality, and Intimacy, Roberts delves into the secrets of success that can be used to create the ultimate shopping experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a baffling, troubling, and hard to treat phenomenon that has increased markedly in recent years. Key issues in diagnosing and treating NSSI adequately include differentiating it from attempted suicide and other mental disorders, as well as understanding the motivations for self-injury and the context in which it occurs. This accessible and practical book provides therapists and students with a clear understanding of these key issues, as well as of suitable assessment techniques. It then goes on to delineate research-informed treatment approaches for NSSI, with an emphasis on functional assessment, emotion regulation, and problem solving, including motivational interviewing, interpersonal skills, CBT, DBT, behavioral management strategies, delay behaviors, exercise, family therapy, risk management, and medication, as well as how to successfully combine methods.

Download or read book Media's Portrayal of the "ideal Image" with Emphasis on the "thin Ideal" and Its Effects on Women's Body Image written by Cristina Avila and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women are bombarded with reminders of what they should look like to be considered attractive. The "ideal body image" represented by the media which emphasizes thinness, youth, and height is difficult for the average woman to attain. Past research has shown that exposure to media images representing the "ideal body" has negative effects on women's body image, self-esteem, mood, and can promote the development of eating disorders. The present study examined how the ideal female body image portrayed by the media impacts the way women feel about themselves in terms of body dissatisfaction, mood, self-esteem, and social comparison. Additionally, because past research has shown that the inclusion of warning label helps ameliorate the known negative effects of exposure to such images, this study explored the effects of warning labels on women's body dissatisfaction, mood, self-esteem, and social comparison. Participants were randomly assigned to one of four conditions: digitally altered without a warning label media image condition, digitally altered with a warning label media image condition, unaltered media image condition, or neutral condition. Overall, it was found that there were no significant effects of media image condition on measures of body dissatisfaction, negative affect, self-esteem, and social comparison. However, women who viewed digitally altered images with a warning label had significantly lower positive affect scores than those who viewed neutral images. Additionally, findings revealed that the use of warning labels does not reduce the negative effects associated with exposure to thin idealized media images. Although the present study did not demonstrate the profound negative effects of viewing the "ideal body image" found in most previous studies, further research is warranted given the importance of this topic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2015 in the subject Communications - Public Relations, Advertising, Marketing, Social Media, , language: English, abstract: The work examines the concept of beauty and unrealistic body image and beauty standards propagated by the media. The Body has been traditionally understood as a gift. Generally a gift is given and accepted and not demanded. The dissatisfaction about the body-gift is partly caused by the images that are being bombarded through various media. As a result ideals of body shapes are formed both in men and women, nowadays from a very early age. Children in many countries (more so in developed ones) consume media for three to four hours daily on average. The perfect body image standards set by the media are almost impossible to live up to. This can cause low self-esteem and can lead to psychological disorders such as depression. Contemporary media’s presentation of the body, especially in advertisements, almost amounts to "organs without body". However, some individuals and organizations have come forward to counter the unrealistic body image and beauty standards propagated by the media. Ultimately, one must develop a positive body image.

This book was released on 2023-08-30 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2023 in the subject Communications - Public Relations, Advertising, Marketing, Social Media, grade: C, Paedagogic Institute for Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy Hannover, language: English, abstract: Social media offers a plethora of opportunities for individuals to share their thoughts, experiences, and interests with a global audience, blurring the lines between personal and public spheres. Users can post photos, videos, status updates, and engage in real-time conversations, facilitating instant communication and fostering virtual communities. Beyond personal interactions, social media has also emerged as a powerful platform for businesses, influencers, and organizations to reach their target audiences, influencing consumer behaviors and shaping societal trends. The allure of social media lies in its promise of connectivity and belongingness, allowing users to form and maintain social relationships regardless of physical proximity. However, the pervasive nature of these platforms and the constant exposure to a stream of curated content have raised concerns about their potential impact on individuals' psychological well-being. In light of these concerns, researchers and mental health professionals have sought to understand the intricate relationship between social media usage and individuals' psychological well-being, particularly concerning self-esteem and body image. By investigating the potential effects of social media on these aspects, researchers aim to unveil the complexities of virtual interactions and their implications for mental health. This research paper aims to explore the impact of social media on individuals' self-esteem and body image, with a focus on understanding how these platforms influence self-perception, body satisfaction, and overall psychological well-being. By shedding light on this critical area of study, this research intends to provide valuable insights for individuals, parents, educators, mental health practitioners, social media platforms, and policymakers, guiding the development of strategies to promote a healthier and more positive online environment.

This book was released on 2020-08-06 with total page 1524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a growing knowledge base in understanding the differences and similarities between women and men, as well as the diversities among women and sexualities. Although genetic and biological characteristics define human beings conventionally as women and men, their experiences are contextualized in multiple dimensions in terms of gender, sexuality, class, age, ethnicity, and other social dimensions. Beyond the biological and genetic basis of gender differences, gender intersects with culture and other social locations which affect the socialization and development of women across their life span. This handbook provides a comprehensive and up-to-date resource to understand the intersectionality of gender differences, to dispel myths, and to examine gender-relevant as well as culturally relevant implications and appropriate interventions. Featuring a truly international mix of contributors, and incorporating cross-cultural research and comparative perspectives, this handbook will inform mainstream psychology of the international literature on the psychology of women and gender.

Book excerpt: There is no denying that media has had a profund impact on our culture in recent years; however, research is beginning to reveal that media's influence is not always positive. The news is especially disturbing were young women are concerned. Aside from the normal biological, congitve and psychological changes young women face that cause uncertainty about self-worth and body image, these young women are also bombarded by unrealistic images of the media's portrayal of the perfect woman. This distorted body perception has disturbing effects such as drastic, dangerous dieting, eating disorders, depression, immoral conduct, risky behavior and sacrifice of integrity and character. One of the most common causes is our society's extreme emphasis on appearance as seen in television, magazines, runway models, music and advertising. This thesis will discuss the natural causes of adolescent body image as well as the increased availability of media to adolescents and the effects of both on overall adolescent self-esteem and body image. Youth workers must be aware of both the natural and outside influences affecting the self-esteem, personal perception and character of today's young women and, be prepared to confront these influences with Biblical principles and Christian alternatives.

Book excerpt: The Rise of Social MediaSubchapter: The Rise of Social Media In today's digital age, social media has become an integral part of our daily lives. From scrolling through news feeds to posting updates, it has revolutionized the way we connect and communicate with others. However, with the rise of social media, there has also been a significant impact on body image and self-esteem. Social media platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat, have created a space where individuals can showcase their lives, highlight their accomplishments, and present an idealized version of themselves. This constant exposure to carefully curated and often unrealistic images can lead to feelings of inadequacy and a negative impact on self-esteem. One of the ways social media lowers self-esteem is through the constant comparison it encourages. It is all too easy to fall into the trap of comparing ourselves to others, especially when everyone seems to be living their best lives online. Seeing friends and acquaintances posting about their achievements, exotic vacations, or perfect bodies can leave us feeling like we are not measuring up. This constant exposure to seemingly perfect lives can lead to feelings of inferiority and a distorted sense of self-worth. Moreover, the prevalence of photo editing apps and filters on social media platforms has further exacerbated the issue. These tools allow users to alter their appearance, creating an unrealistic standard of beauty. Seeing flawless skin, perfect bodies, and flawless features can make individuals feel inadequate and dissatisfied with their own appearance. It can lead to a relentless pursuit of perfection and unrealistic beauty standards, ultimately damaging self-esteem. Another factor contributing to the negative impact on self-esteem is cyberbullying. Social media platforms have provided a breeding ground for online harassment and body shaming. People can hide behind anonymous profiles and unleash hurtful comments, further damaging individuals' self-esteem and body image. The constant fear of judgment and criticism can make individuals feel vulnerable and anxious, leading to a decline in self-confidence. While social media has undoubtedly impacted body image and self-esteem, it is essential to recognize its positive aspects as well. It has provided a platform for marginalized voices, fostered communities, and increased awareness about body positivity and self-acceptance. However, it is crucial to understand the potential negative consequences and take steps to mitigate them

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When women are told that what is important about us is how we look, it becomes increasingly difficult for us to feel comfortable with our appearance and how we feel about our bodies. We are told, over and over—if we just lost weight, fit into those old jeans, or into a new smaller pair—we will be happier and feel better about ourselves. The truth is, so many women despise their appearance, weight, and shape, that experts who study women’s body image now consider this feeling to be normal. But it does not have to be that way. It is possible for us as women to love ourselves, our bodies, as we are. We need a new story about what it means to be a woman in this world. Based on her original research, Hillary L McBride shares the true stories of young women, and their mothers, and provides unique insights into how our relationships with our bodies are shaped by what we see around us and the specific things we can do to have healthier relationships with our appearance, and all the other parts of ourselves that make us women. In Mothers, Daughters, and Body Image McBride tells her own story of recovery from an eating disorder, and how her struggles led her to dream of a new vision for womanhood—from one without body shame, negative comparisons, or insecurities, to one of freedom, connection, and acceptance.
