Sexualisierung in the media impairs the health of young girls

(openPR) - one study published of the American Psychological Association (APA) made clear now that the increasing Sexualisierung in the media and in the advertisement has extremely precarious consequences for the health well-being being issued and the psychosocial development of many young girls. For the 72seitigen introduced now report was balanced a multiplicity of publications, in which effects of sexistischer photos and advertising messages had been examined for the intellectual and emotional development by girls and young women, in addition, effects for their psychological and physical health. Also many investigations are specified, which clarify, in which mass the Sexualisierung in the last decades increased.

Particularly problematic it appears to the psychologists that increasingly also children are made direct addressees of the advertising messages. Young girls daily with pictures confronted, which show perfectly gestylte Models and high-attractive Popsängerinnen, women, reduced are on a perfectly beautiful body. Other dimensions of the personality are completely faded out, so that with many younger viewer inside the impression settles that alone physical attractiveness is decisive for appreciation, social acknowledgment or success in the life.

Effect of it is in many cases an unsatisfactory self value feeling and a negative self picture, in the long run often also the beginning of health crises. Likewise the relationship of the girls and young women to their own Sexualität is lastingly impaired. By the scientists a study is quoted, in which diaries of young girls were evaluated from the last 100 years. That girls described their in former times once predominantly by progress at school and an extension of their knowledge, in the last 20 years however primarily over physical changes and improvements of its physical attractiveness showed up.

The scientists report a large number of scientific investigations, which show that the Sexualisierung within three ranges brings extremely negative effects out for many female young people.
