  • Title: Can disclaimer labels or Dove Evolution commercial mitigate negative effects of thin-ideal exposure?
    Author: Cragg DN, Mulgrew KE, Kannis-Dymand L.
    Journal: J Health Psychol; 2019 Jun; 24(7):918-928. PubMed ID: 28810393.
    Abstract:
    We examined the comparative effectiveness of the Dove Evolution commercial and disclaimer labels as media literacy interventions. Women ( N = 287) viewed thin-ideal images by themselves, preceded by the Dove Evolution commercial, or containing specific or generic disclaimer labels. Participants completed pre- and post-test measures of body satisfaction, post-test social comparison, and media literacy. Interventions were not effective in mitigating drops in body satisfaction, reducing social comparison, or increasing media literacy, despite women understanding their purpose. A 2-week follow-up showed no delayed effects on media literacy. None of these interventions were effective in counteracting the negative effects of media exposure in women.
