Get PDFInstagram’s Influence on the Body Image of Young Adult Women
No full textWomen face daily bombardment with messages promoting societal standards of beauty which are often unrealistic, not to mention digitally altered. Internalization of the thin ideal has been linked to body image dissatisfaction, with recent research extending these findings to examine the role of social media suggesting a link exists between negative body image and social media use. However, while previous research has explored social media use, only more recently has Instagram become a target of study. Additionally, studies have primarily focused on the negative outcomes of social media use. As much of this literature has explored these topics using a quantitative lens, understanding the individual lived experiences of Instagram users on a deeper and more personal level has also been overlooked. The present study aimed to address these gaps by examining the influence of Instagram use on young adult women’s body image and how they protect themselves from negative body image experiences while using Instagram. Data was gathered by conducting 45-60-minute Zoom interviews with eight young adult women ages 18 to 30 years old. From these interviews, the use of thematic analysis highlighted three broad themes of Negative Body Image Experiences on Instagram, Positive Body Image Experiences on Instagram, and Protective Factors. Furthermore, considerations for healthier Instagram use, clinical implications, and future directions for research are explore

More Than a Housewife: The 1950s Housewife in Postwar Magazine Illustration
No full textThe 1950s housewife has been a mainstay of American visual culture, used to embody both the hopes of postwar economic opulence and the limitations of the domestic sphere that second wave feminism pushed against. This paper explores the visual representation of the 1950s housewife, analyzing her representation in advertising illustration, cover illustration, and illustrations for parenting columns. Placing these images into the context of postwar marketing practices, the impact of women’s magazines, child psychology, and Betty Friedan’s The Feminine Mystique, this paper demonstrates that the housewife image was a highly malleableimage used to idealize the white, middle-class American lifestyle. Although the idealized domestic imagery featured in advertisements and cover illustration affirm Freidan’s assertion that postwar society put limitations on women, the illustrations for parenting columns offer another perspective on her critiques. Parenting columns provided a unique opportunity for illustrators to portray a more realistic conception of housewifery. Illustrators Lorraine Fox and Howard Sparber took full advantage of this opportunity, creating illustrations that portray the ups and downs of domestic life, portraying the housewife as an individual with the talent and intellect to actively engage with the developing field of child psychology. These illustrations present agrounded depiction of housewifery that plays on the imperfections of domestic life, while also uplifting the work of the housewife. Rather than presenting the housewife as gleeful, glamorous women, or discontented, creatively stifled women, Fox and Sparber validate the struggles of domestic life and as well as the intelligence of the individual housewife
Annihilationism or Salvation? A Philosophical Case for Preferring Universalism to Annihilationism
No full textIn God’s Final Victory: A Comparative Philosophical Case for Universalism, we argue that for every version of the doctrine of hell there is a version of the doctrine of universal salvation that, granted traditional Christian teachings, is more philosophically defensible. This article explores whether a parallel case can be made for preferring universalism to annihilationism. While assuming for the sake of this article that the chief arguments for favouring universalism over the doctrine of hell, developed in God’s Final Victory, are strong, we argue that a comparably strong parallel case for favouring universalism to annihilationism can indeed be made
