Abstract

In this study, we are trying to understand how girls in Costa Rica respond to Western and Latina body image ideals in magazines and how their mothers talk to them about the images. We have conducted a quantitative survey to first examine 92 girls exposure to the images, their comparisons with the images, their mothers' comments about the images, and their own body satisfaction. We have also conducted qualitative interviews with a smaller sample of the daughters and their mothers to contextualize these issues. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
