The findings of the moderate analysis revealed that stereotypes representing gender on the notion of youth self-image regulate the link between media generated stereotypes and young attitudes about self-image, which leads to behavioural changes. Additionally, the negative impact of media-generated stereotypes has been compounded as a result of such behavioural and social variables. The findings supported previous study that suggested stereotypes in media material may engage instinctively and have a detrimental influence owing to one's sociocultural vulnerabilities.
