According to the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders, 69% of girls in the 5th- 12th grades reported that magazine pictures influenced their idea of a perfect body shape. I used to let myself fall into the lie that a women should look just like one of these dolls.

Each room had a doll, hence the name “Bobo doll experiment.” The aggressive children’s group was shown an adult being extremely aggressive and beating the doll, in some cases with a hammer (McLeod n.p.). The non-aggressive children’s group was shown an adult who played with tinker toys in a quiet and subdued manner, completely ignoring the doll. The final twenty-four children were not exposed to any model at all. After this,…
