Tucker (2004) conducted a study where television (and exposure to body shape ideals via telephone) was introduced to a rural area of Fiji. This study found that:

A) Native culture was relatively immune to western ideas of body image.
B) Over three years, hours of television viewing increased drastically and significant weight gain was noted in over half of the participants.
C) Within the first year, almost one-quarter of the participants had developed some form of an eating disorder.
D) Social learning was evident as the Fijian girls wished to emulate people they had seen on television.
