Fitspiration and Body Image Study
Tiggemann and Zaccardo examined the effect of photographic images on a variety of psychological constructs. A total of 130 undergraduates were randomly assigned to one of two treatment conditions. In the "fitspiration" condition, participants were presented images designed to inspire fitness. These images included men and women wearing fitness clothing and participating in physical activity with fitness-inspiring captions. Participants in the control condition were presented images of exotic destinations with descriptive captions of the landscape. Following the presentation of the images all participants completed surveys to assess mood, body dissatisfaction, and self-esteem. In addition, each participant also reported how inspired they felt from each photo.
