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...

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...

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...

Sociocultural pressures and engagement with cosmetic products and procedures in adult women
Body Image. 2024 Mar 22;49:101701. doi: 10.1016/j.bodyim.2024.101701. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPrevious studies have shown that cosmetic procedures and products that perpetuate Western hegemonic beauty standards among women have become increasingly popular, and pressures from sociocultural agents to utilize them are significant. However, little work has documented the relationship between perceived sociocultural pressures and use of cosmetic procedures and products among a larger age range of adult women. A community sample of 308 women aged 18-66, mean (SD) age of 35.7 (9.7), reported on the cosmetic procedures they ...
