“…First, while many instruments measure global satisfaction with body or appearance, the present study developed a scale which measures four most prominent aspects of body and appearance satisfaction among adolescents. Second, given that research (Fitzsimmons-Craft et al 2012b) suggested that general measures of social comparison may be too general and that appearance-related measures of social comparison may be too narrow to adequately predict body dissatisfaction, this newly developed scale seems particularly relevant as it combines body satisfaction and social comparisons. Third, all items of the present study were originally written and no item was precisely copied from existing measures in the literature.…”

“…One of the most popular theories described to the comprehension of the influence of media in self-evaluation is the Theory of Social Comparison, by , which describes that people evaluate their desires and opinions through comparison with others, in order to understand how and where they fit into the world (Fitzsimmons-Craft et al 2012).
