Social Sciences - Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc. / Research paper on eating disorders
Spanish term or phrase: (perfiles) con carga comparativa alta
This is from a research paper analysing eating disorders and people's exposure to imagery of body ideals on social media:

"Se ha empleado un diseño experimental aleatorizado con dos condiciones experimentales de exposición a imágenes y a perfiles de Facebook con carga comparativa alta y carga comparativa baja. Se ha considerado de carga comparativa alta cuando las imágenes incluyen personas con cuerpos dentro del ideal de delgadez y los perfiles de Facebook son de figuras famosas que cumplen con el ideal de belleza y éxito."

I'm not sure how best to express this. Any thought please?

Many thanks

neutral  Muriel Vasconcellos: As I see it, the "carga" refers to the description of the type of individual, not to the level in the population. See my comment in the discussion.
