Dimensiuni ale imaginii corporale feminine
Perspectives on Feminine Body Image

Summary/Abstract: Feminine body image is a social-cultural construction, shaped by the ideal thin body promoted in media and by expectations coming from significant others or just peers. Therefore, the characteristics of the biological body have little impact in the development of the attitude toward own physical appearance. The aim of the article is to disentangle and to analyze different perspectives on feminine body image in relation with socio-cultural pressure. Perceptual, affective, cognitive and behavioral aspects of body experience will be considered.
