Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The tripartite influence model is specifically designed to understand how sociocultural factors (i.e. social, familial, and media influences) impact body image. While social cognitive theory also addresses the impact of social factors on behavior, it is not as specific to body image as the tripartite influence model. Therefore, choice C (A and B) is not correct. Choice D (neither of the above) is not correct because both theories are relevant to understanding the impact of sociocultural factors on body image, but the tripartite influence model is the more appropriate choice for this particular question.
