Aybay, Yonca, and Nurten Kara. "THE IMPACT OF TEEN MAGAZINES ON ADOLESCENT GIRLS
IN NORTH CYPRUS." Social Behavior and Personality: An International Journal, vol. 46, no. 1,
This journal discusses the impact of teen magazines on young Turkish girls. In the
journal teen girls were asked various questions regarding the ideal beauty. Majority of the
answers from the participants were answers such as thin, blonde or Brunnett, tall, light eyes, light
skin, and defined facial features. The research conducted showed that the magazines were used
by young girls as a reference point as to what they should look like to be considered the “ideal
beauty”.
This journal serves as useful to me because it shows how young impressionable girls can
be influenced to look a certain way from mass media, in this case magazines. This journal is also
helpful to my research because, it gives evidence to support my main thesis that the Beauty
Industry only supports one type of beauty as shown by the findings and its participants answers.
This journal also has no bias within it because it is purely based research and its findings.
This journal related to my topic because it discusses how teen magazines effect teen girls'
views of the ideal beauty. This relates to my other sources because its diseases some of the same
