Rubric
Use the following rubric to successfully complete this exercise.

Dissatisfaction with body image and unhealthy eating behaviors are important issues for adolescent girls. Many young women believe that they are overweight and want to weigh less.

Several cross-sectional studies have reported a positive association between exposure to beauty and fashion magazines and an increased level of weight concerns or eating disorder symptoms in girls.

A study of the relationship between media and eating disorders among undergraduate college students found that media exposure predicted disordered eating symptomatically, drive for thinness, body dissatisfaction and ineffectiveness in women, and endorsement of personal thinness and dieting in men.

In a cross-sectional survey of 548 girls from grades 5 to 12, participants self-reported the frequency of reading fashion magazines, and attitudes and behaviors, including dieting and exercise.

Explanation:

Media literacy, an example of such an intervention, is a process of understanding and using mass media and has been shown to help young people evaluate program and advertising content more critically. In particular, media education interventions have revealed a decrease in the harmful effects of media violence and alcohol advertising on children and adolescents.

While the media may contribute to the development of weight concerns and body dissatisfaction in children and adolescents, we cannot disregard the fact that media can also be used as an important tool for health promotion and prevention strategies.

The 3 negative influences are located in the answer, and the three ways to overcome such influence is located in the explanation.
