DescriptionResearch indicates that sociocultural factors such as media, family and peer influence children in developing body dissatisfaction (Davidson el al., 2000; Smolak, 2004). Some research suggests the girls as young as 5 years old begin to express dissatisfaction with their bodies. As for boys they express body dissatisfaction not until their teenage years, where masculinity and peer pressure play a large role in their lives (McCabe & Ricciardelli, 2004). Due to the severity of negative consequences on body image it is essential to research and investigate further on media, family, and peers influence on children’s obsession with body perfection.
