Help is needed for my survey for CAFS IRP. As I have had to take CAFS I have chosen the topic of Does the media influence teenage males perception of body image.
Can you please help by answering the survey which I have put together.
1. How do you feel about the way your body looks?
A. Fine - you’re satisfied with your body, most of the time.
B. Okay - although there are parts of it you don’t like very much.
C. Bad - there are a couple of parts that you like, and the rest you hate
2. What should the male body look like?
A. Muscular with wide shoulders and tanned skin.
B. Lean and healthy
C. This is a stupid question- male bodies come in all shapes and sizes.
3. Do you ever get depressed about the way your body looks?
A. All the time - life would be so much better if your body was strong and muscular.
B. Not really - you’re more interested in what your body can do (like sports) than what it looks like.
C. Sometimes - especially if you are teased by other people, or see someone else with a better body than yours.
4. Do you think you’re fat?
A. Yes - you need to lose a few kilos.
B. No - you’re about the right weight for your height.
C. Yes - even though your family and friends reckon you’re not.
5. Do you crash diet to lose weight?

B. Sport is all about how you play, not how you look.
C. You mostly exercise for fun and fitness, but some things you do (like weight train) are just to improve your looks.
8. What do you think about steroids?
A. Steroids are dangerous, and a cheat’s way of getting ahead.
