  1. ^PPS = Peer pressure score
  2. *BID = Body Image Dissatisfaction Score.
  3. §Chi square test was applied here to find significant results showing that high media exposure correlates with negative BID scores. Yates corrected values were used for better accuracy.
  4. +The percentages are calculated by dividing the numbers by the totals of the BID groups
