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...

The impact of fitspiration comments on adult women's body dissatisfaction and negative affect
Body Image. 2024 Mar 29;49:101708. doi: 10.1016/j.bodyim.2024.101708. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe present study examined the impact of writing different types of comments in response to fitspiration (fitness inspiration) images on women's body dissatisfaction and negative affect. Women (N = 256) from the general population (age range: 18 to 49) were randomized to write one of three types of comments on the same fitspiration images: appearance (comment on the woman's appearance), functionality (comment on what the woman's body can do), or background (comment on the image background). Participants completed measures of...

Two sides of the self-love coin: Self-compassion text-only posts and body positive photo-based content both positively affect body image
Body Image. 2024 Mar 29;49:101686. doi: 10.1016/j.bodyim.2024.101686. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAlthough body-positive content is associated with increased positive body image, concerns regarding the continued focus on appearance have emerged. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine whether self-compassion text-only content provided benefits beyond traditional photo-based body positivity content. Undergraduates (n = 283; 179 women, 104 men) were randomly assigned to view body positive photos, self-compassion text-only content, or architectural images (control condition). Participants assigned to both experi...

A pre-post evaluation of the impact of the Embrace Kids film on children's and adults' body image and self-compassion
Body Image. 2024 Mar 29;49:101700. doi: 10.1016/j.bodyim.2024.101700. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGiven the prevalence of body dissatisfaction among young people, which tends to persist into adulthood, a need exists for large-scale interventions that address this problem. Film has been identified as a resource that is well-suited to large-scale dissemination, which can achieve broad impact and reach. Embrace Kids, a film aimed at improving young people's body image, is one such resource. To evaluate the film's impact on body image, 55 children (M = 10.59, SD = 1.49) and 47 adults (M = 43.75, SD = 8.54) were recruited fro...

Psychometric evaluation of a revised version of the body appreciation scale-2 for autistic adults (BAS-2A)
Body Image. 2024 Mar 28;49:101706. doi: 10.1016/j.bodyim.2024.101706. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEmerging evidence points to unique conceptualisations of positive body image in autistic individuals. However, there are no existing measures of positive body image that have been developed or validated for use with autistic adults. To rectify this, we developed a revised version of the BAS-2 - the BAS-2A - and examined its factorial validity and psychometric properties in a sample of autistic adults from the United Kingdom. Based on the results of exploratory factor analysis and scale purification, we extracted a 12-item, u...
