Researchers found Western women also experience greater media pressure to be thin than black Nigerian and Chinese women of all ages.

The study, conducted by Durham University psychologists, looked at the impacts of age and socio-cultural pressures on “body appreciation” — feelings of positivity and pride about one’s body — among white Western, black Nigerian and Chinese women.

Researchers found that all three groups had relatively stable body appreciation across different ages, but there were “significant” cultural differences.

White Western women were found to experience much higher pressure from the media to conform to thin or athletic body ideals across their lifespan.

The pressure did decrease with age but, even at its lowest, the pressure felt by Western women was still higher than for the other ethnic groups.

Black Nigerian women recorded the highest body appreciation and far less media pressure regarding body image. The pressure also decreased with age.

Chinese women reported the highest ongoing family and peer pressure around body image, but media-related pressure was less and decreased with age for them.

The study, which involved more than 1,100 women aged 18 to 80, was intended to gain new insight into the impacts of culture and age on body appreciation – two aspects that have had limited research focus to date.

Black Nigerian women did not display a strong pressure towards a thin or athletic build and reported higher levels of body appreciation.

Chinese women predominantly continued to endorse a thin body type across all ages, but reported less media pressure than white women.



So I guess the bbl craze among white sloots is not as popular as we originally thought
