| dc.description.abstract | When it comes from a peer, a negative comment about a young woman's weight can make her feel unhappy with her body – even when the young woman is not overly concerned with her weight. This is the first study to demonstrate how negative comments, from peers, impact a young woman's body image. | en_US |
