Tiggemann, M. & Zaccardo, M. (2015) . "Exercise to be fit, not skinny": The effect of fitspiration imagery on women's body image. Body Image, 15, 61-67.
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.
-(Scenario II) At the end of the study, Tiggemann and Zaccardo explained to the participants that they had expected those who saw fitspiration photos to express more body dissatisfaction than those who saw photos of exotic landscapes. In research, this is referred to as:

• A) informed consent.
• B) summarizing.
