Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When television was introduced to the island of Fiji, girls who had previously seen a plump body as a symbol of status and beauty developed the strong desire to lose weight. As a result, rates of disordered eating behavior and body dissatisfaction increased among Fijian girls who were exposed to Western media. Boys were less affected by the introduction of television and did not experience the same pressure to change their body shape.
