A 12-year-old girl's expressed goal to be "super thin" is a body image issue influenced primarily by:
1. Peer pressure
2. Societal values
3. Teenage role modeling
4. Normal developmental changes
ANS: 2
Cultural and societal attitudes and values influence body image. Culture and society dictate the accepted norms of body image and influence one's attitudes. Peer pressure and role modeling are influenced by the perceived social preference. Normal physical developmental changes resulting from puberty do not typically result in "super thin" body types.
