Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: The objective of this project was to identify themes, patterns and predictors related to attractiveness ideals and appearance norms among a sample of men and women in the U.S. The sociocultural theoretical model has the strongest empirical support for understanding body image disturbance and appearance anxiety (Heinberg, 1996; Thompson, Heinberg, Altabe, Tantleff-Dunn, 1999), by presenting to women through media representations the current societal standard for image and appearance. This study’s objective was to assess which variables—entertainment and sports media exposure, sociocultural attitudes, or self-discrepancy—would be the stronger predictors of higher or lower appearance evaluations of other women. Findings suggest that, overall, men were more critical in their assessment of other women’s attractiveness and that self-discrepancy in women was related to higher attractiveness evaluations in others. These and other findings are discussed.
