In a qualitative approach using semi-structured interviews, participants were 25 adult women in southern Brazil aged 19-59 who have tried to lose weight or modify their bodies. Thematic categories emerged: motivations and influences to lose weight, external and internal pressure to lose weight, and influences from the media and the ideal of beauty which point to factors like the media, family, and society step in nutritional education of Brazilian women. These factors influence decisions related to weight loss and pursuit of a beautiful body; this cult of thinness influences women to lose weight and makes physical appearance an essential dimension of the female identity. Programs are also needed that regulate the media in its use of models involving standards of beauty which are followed and copied by the general population. 2021 artículo científico 2177-093X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=609868451007 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6098/609868451007/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6098/609868451007/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6098/609868451007/609868451007.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6098/609868451007/movil 10.20435/pssa.v13i1.995 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=6098 Revista Psicologia e Saúde application/pdf Universidade Católica Dom Bosco Revista Psicologia e Saúde (Brasil) Num.1 Vol.13 |
