Body Image. 2024 Apr 17;49:101712. doi: 10.1016/j.bodyim.2024.101712. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe rise of short-form video content has prompted research into its impact on body image; however, little remains known regarding the effects of exposure to food-related content of this type. The present study aimed to fill this gap in the literature by conducting a between-subjects experiment (N = 316) examining the effects of exposure to low-calorie versus high-calorie "What I Eat in A Day" food diary TikTok videos on young adults' body appreciation, body dissatisfaction, and diet intentions. Additionally, this study sough...

"I felt so powerful to have this love in me": A grounded theory analysis of the experiences of people living with and recovering from eating disorders while in diverse romantic relationships
Body Image. 2024 Apr 13;49:101709. doi: 10.1016/j.bodyim.2024.101709. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRomantic partners have the potential to influence attitudes and behaviors related to body image and disordered eating. However, the role that romantic relationships can play in eating disorder (ED) recovery has not been comprehensively investigated. The present study aimed to explore the ways that people living with and recovering from EDs experience their romantic relationships, with the specific objective of developing a novel theoretical framework, grounded in the experiences of people in diverse romantic relationships, t...

Does a nature walk improve state body appreciation in children?
Body Image. 2024 Apr 5;49:101707. doi: 10.1016/j.bodyim.2024.101707. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe available evidence suggests that exposure to natural environments promotes more positive body image, but to date this research has not considered impacts on children. To answer this question, we invited two groups of children in Poland - matched in terms of age (range = 6 to 12 years), gender identities, and racialised status - to go for a group walk in either a natural environment (n = 80) or a built environment (n = 81). Before and after the walks, participants were asked to complete an adapted, state version of the Bod...

Enhancing inferences and conclusions in body image focused non-experimental research via a causal modelling approach: A tutorial
Body Image. 2024 Apr 4;49:101704. doi: 10.1016/j.bodyim.2024.101704. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCausal inference is often the goal of psychological research. However, most researchers refrain from drawing causal conclusions based on non-experimental evidence. Despite the challenges associated with producing causal evidence from non-experimental data, it is crucial to address causal questions directly rather than avoiding them. Here we provide a clear, non-technical overview of the fundamental concepts (including the counterfactual framework and related assumptions) and tools that permit causal inference in non-experimen...

Explaining the prospective paths from body appreciation to intuitive eating facets: Does body image flexibility serve as a mediator?
Body Image. 2024 Apr 2;49:101710. doi: 10.1016/j.bodyim.2024.101710. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTInitial evidence suggests that body appreciation prospectively predicts intuitive eating. However, the limited number of longitudinal studies focused solely on girls and women, with a lack of evaluation among men. Furthermore, the underlying mechanisms explaining this relationship remain poorly understood. The present study examined whether body appreciation prospectively predicted intuitive eating facets among women and men in Germany. We also tested whether adaptive affect regulation skills (i.e., body image flexibility) me...
