作者：
Highlights：
• The body image concerns of college women who are active Pinterest users have been understudied.
• An attachment theory-guided model for predicting these concerns was proposed.
• Attachment anxiety and social comparisons uniquely predicted body satisfaction scores.
• Only social comparisons uniquely predicted internalization of thin ideal scores.
• Social comparisons partially mediated the attachment anxiety – body satisfaction relationship.
