Annotated Bibliography
Grosez, L., Levine, M., Murnen, S.- “The effect of experimental presentation of the media images on body satisfaction. A meta-analytic review.”
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/eat.10005/full. Published 26 December 2001.
This article is about the effects of experimental manipulations of how thin beauty is portrayed after female body image being seen in mass media. Research was done from studies that examined the effect comparison as pre existing body image problems before and after media intake. Results show mass media contributes to a slender ideal of body satisfaction and the vulnerability, especially amongst teens. This will be useful in my research as it supports my points including information on how mass media has an impact on girls and body image.
Perrin, A. “Social Media usage 2005-2015. 65% of adults now use social media networking sites- a nearly tenfold jump in the past decade.”
http://www.pewinternet.org/2015/10/08/social-networking-usage-2005/2015. Published 08 October 2015.
This article is about the statistics on the increase of the use of social media of all age groups, genders, and social status groups. Statistics show how social media has affected such things as communicative patterns, teenage life and communities. Special analysis were taken over the past decade documenting the increase of technology while still growing. This article compares the gender, age differences, and socio-economic differences of users. This article will help me in my argument as how dependent society has become on social media and the increase since the past decade and who it effects.
Schurgin O’Keeffe, G., Clarke-Pearson, K. “Council and communications and media.”
Vol 127, no.4. From the American Academy of Pediatrics Clinical Report.

This article is about the use of social media by tweens and teens and the potential risks. Being that social media is the biggest form of communication, it can have negative effects on kids and teens. This article shows statistics to understand how much social media is being used and explains how difficult it may be for parents to regulate what their kids are watching or engaging in. They are susceptible to peer pressure, bullying, and sexual experimentation. Although, this article also speaks of the advantages of social media, it will help me in supporting my point because it compares the statistics of the dangers of social media as well.
