“…For instance, when children compare themselves to a better-performing other, and the child contrast themselves, they may experience negative affect and feel inferior, but when they identify with a better-performing other, they may feel inspired to perform better (Dijkstra et al, 2008). In addition, research has also shown that individuals may show resilience to social comparisons when they believe the other person is not a relevant target for comparison (Ogden and Russell, 2012). Although no previous study has examined this among preadolescent boys, Anschutz et al (2012) found that 6- to 8-year-old girls showed higher body satisfaction after exposure to the thin ideal characters.…”

Social comparisons are related to the development of body dissatisfaction among adolescents and adults, yet this relationship remains relatively unexamined among children. This study examines children's peer and media-related social comparisons, and how this impacts on their body image. Children aged 8-10 years completed interviews (17 girls and 19 boys in individual interviews, and 16 girls and 16 boys in focus groups). Analyses revealed that appearance-related comparisons were more common among girls, whereas sports/ability-related comparisons were more common for boys. In addition, boys viewed media comparisons as inspiring, whereas girls reported negative emotions. Implications for future research and prevention programmes are discussed.

Ogden and Russell (2013) contend that this occurs because fashion models signify the 'societal ideal' (p. 1589), thus are often used as comparison figures.…”

Young people’s experiences of fashion modelling: An exploratory phenomenological study

Research about fashion modelling within Psychology remains sparse. Rare empirical studies which do exist exhibit a tendency to pathologise models, and provide only a superficial insight into this career. Little is known about who a fashion model really is, what a young person who models experiences in their careers, or how they make sense of this role. With this in mind, the current study sought to explore the lived experience of young people who are fashion models. Three participants offered experiential accounts of modelling in the fashion industry, and Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) revealed superordinate themes: 'Growth and Development', 'Changes in Self-Perception', and 'A Job? Or a Way of Life?'. Change was found to be an integral part of the participants' experiences, which led to both positive and negative developmental outcomes, including a self-reported growth in confidence and maturity, yet a potentially more self-critical view of one's appearance. The role seemed to be an all-encompassing lifestyle rather than a job, and it is argued that modelling at a young age may act as a catalyst for a transition into adulthood. This study is exploratory in nature but provides an initial insight into the experiences of fashion modelling. The discussion identifies ways in which cognate sub-disciplines of Psychology may contribute to this area of research, thus developing and extending further the Psychological literature base in the field of fashion studies.

Cognitive Assessment: Think‐Aloud and Thought‐Listing Technique

Analyses of cognitive responses have been central to empirical research in communication since the cognitive turn in psychology as well as the establishment of transactional models of perception and reception at the beginning of the 1980s. Methods developed for analyses of judgment, information processing, and the impact of persuasive communication means that cognitive reactions are accessible in two different ways: the think‐aloud procedure and the thought‐listing technique. Current fields of application of these methods in the context of media and communication include research on the acquisition of social networking media, learning with multimedia, usability and eye‐tracking studies as well as research on the acquisition of media services in a social and interpersonal context. Furthermore, the use of both methods is currently being intensively discussed in qualitative research.
