Based on McCracken's (1986) meaning-transfer model, the author has created a body-image meaning-transfer (BIMT) model. It suggests how cultural discourse and interactions can shape individual consumers' understanding of socially 'good' and 'bad' bodies. It emphasizes the notable impact of mainstream advertising, media, and celebrity culture that commonly promote a thin-and-muscular beauty-ideal, and the process of normalization which implies feelings of guilt, anxiety, public observationExport marketingCase studiesMarketingVocational guidanceExport marketingMarketingVocational guidance.382.6Jobsky Anke1642778MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910816778103321The body-image meaning-transfer model3987666UNINA
