Two constructs, media processing and critical thinking about media, are relevant for research examining media literacy in the context of eating disorder risk factors. Media processing has been outlined in the message interpretation process model [8] and adapted for application to eating disorder prevention research [6, 9]. The model specifies processes by which individuals interpret and internalise media messages and images, and ultimately, whether media messages and portrayals are accepted or rejected. These processes involve assessments of the realism, similarity, and desirability of media messages. Lower levels of scepticism in relation to media being interpreted as realistic, similar to one’s own and other’s experiences, and highly desirable, are proposed to lead to greater acceptance of media messages [8].
