Researchers found Western women also experience greater media pressure to be thin than black Nigerian and Chinese women of all ages.White women are less confident about their bodies than women from other cultures, according to a new study.
The study, which involved more than 1,100 women aged 18 to 80, was intended to gain new insight into the impacts of culture and age on body appreciation – two aspects that have had limited research focus to date. Black Nigerian women did not display a strong pressure towards a thin or athletic build and reported higher levels of body appreciation.Study leader Louise Hanson said: “Most research around body appreciation to date has focused on younger white Western women. Chinese women predominantly continued to endorse a thin body type across all ages, but reported less media pressure than white women.
“We found that body appreciation was relatively stable across all ages and socio-cultural pressure was evident in all cultures. “Additionally, there is also a need for interventions to be tailored to account for cultural differences, such as greater media literacy for white western women who reported the highest pressure in this area.”
