“That the thin ideal exists as a cultural phenomenon in Western society is supported by studies of social media content [e.g., (Boepple and Thompson, 2016; Boepple et al., 2016a)] and post-hoc ratings of beauty pageant winners (Bozsik et al., 2018).”

In the citing paper
“Indeed, research suggests that muscularity ideals seem to be emerging among women (Bozsik et al., 2018) and therefore may be more likely to be held and transmitted among peer groups, not yet having been adopted by traditional media or parental sources of pressure.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
