The study investigated body image in young adults from two countries with different histories of media exposure. Questionnaires assessing body dissatisfaction, dieting, disordered eating, leisure pursuits, and media exposure were administered to 394 Australian university students and 415 Estonian university students. Although there were large gender differences between men and women, in contrast to prediction, there were relatively few differences on body concern between Australian and Estonian students
