George Gerbner, founder of the Cultural Indicators Research Project and former dean of communications at the University of Pennsylvania, told Seed magazine that “What we see on TV and in magazines eventually becomes our standard of reality and desire; failing to meet it is perceived as deficiency.”
San Francisco State University psychologist Deborah Schooler added that “People see the same images over and over and start to believe it’s a version of reality. If those bodies are real and that’s possible, but you can’t attain it, how can you not feel bad about your own body?”
Writing for The Huffington Post, freelance writer Kate Fridkis used the example of a Marvel Comics superhero: “In the Captain America story, we fairly cheer when the slender, delicate hero is transformed into a strapping, muscle-bound fighting machine. He can save the world now, because he’s jacked. Before, there was no chance. He had to switch bodies to succeed.”
