dolls or other toys.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>It&#8217;s important to note that our studies included &#8220;benchmark tests&#8221;: we assessed children&#8217;s ideal body measurements before and after they played with the dolls.\u00a0We asked the girls how they judged their own body, what their ideal body would be today and then in adulthood.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In the first experiment, 31 girls aged 5 to 9 played for five minutes with ultra-thin dolls or realistic dolls.\u00a0We found that girls who played with ultra-thin dolls were less satisfied with their bodies and that the ideal bodies according to them were significantly thinner at the end of the session than at the beginning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Those who had dolls with more realistic appearances were more satisfied with their own appearance and their definitions of the ideal body did not change.\u00a0These results suggest that a short period of play with ultra-thin dolls can impact young girls&#8217; ideals and well-being.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Representations internalized by the game<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span>In our second experiment, we wanted to test whether playing with more realistic dolls or other toys like toy cars could offset the negative effects caused by playing with ultra-thin dolls.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>As part of this experiment, 46 girls aged 5 to 10 participated in two three-minute play sessions.\u00a0At the premiere, they all played with ultra-thin dolls.\u00a0During the second, they either played with ultra-thin dolls again, or with more realistic dolls, or with cars sporting faces.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The results replicated one of the key findings from the first experiment.\u00a0The participants&#8217; ideal selves seemed to have slimmed down considerably after the first play session. plays.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This suggests that once a shift in preferences for a leaner body has begun, playing with more realistic dolls or other toys may not &#8220;fix&#8221; it immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>My colleagues and I have hypothesized that this apparent change in preferences may be the result of several psychological mechanisms.\u00a0One of them is to internalize the positive messages that ultra-thin dolls create around their measurements.\u00a0On the other hand, there are more \u201csimple\u201d effects of visual exposure, whereby our brain adapts to a new bodily \u201cnorm\u201d based on what is perceived.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.plos.org\/plosone\/article?id=10.1371\/journal.pone.0048691\"><span>Previous research<\/span><\/a><span>\u00a0has\u00a0shown that these two mechanisms can work together, suggesting that ultrathin dolls can act on representations of young girls by combining cultural and visual elements.\u00a0Combined with previous research, these studies confirm the potential risk these fashion dolls pose to girls&#8217;
