| Abstract: | The article studies the influence of consumers' weight control beliefs, advertising model's body size and product type on consumer evaluations and body perceptions. Data for the study is gathered from 371 undergraduate students in Australia. Factor analysis reveals that models with a larger body size make consumers feel less social pressure of being thin whereas slim models increased their want to be slim as well. Furthermore, the study indicates that a boundary condition exists for the extent of the generalization of endorser-product congruency theory to endorsers of a larger body size. |
