Exploring the associations between muscularity teasing and eating and body image disturbances in Chinese men and women
This study described muscularity teasing in both men and women and explored its associations with eating and body image disturbances in adults from China. A total of 900 Chinese adults (50% women) were recruited online. Correlation and regression analyses were conducted to examine the relationships between muscularity teasing and a battery of measures on eating and body image disturbances. Gender differences in the associations were examined. Men reported more muscularity teasing than women (31.6% men vs. 15.6% women; χ2(1,N = 900) = 31.99, p < .001). Muscularity teasing was significantly and positively correlated with...

How social media images of sexualized young women elicit appearance commentary from their peers and reinforce objectification
Body Image. 2024 Mar 6;49:101683. doi: 10.1016/j.bodyim.2024.101683. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSocial media platforms like Instagram enable users to share, view, and provide feedback on images, including photographs of oneself (e.g., selfies). In a 3 × 2 between-subjects online experiment, we investigated how women evaluate and react to photographs of their peers on social media and the role that feedback might play in both objectification of others and oneself. U.S. adult young women (N = 256; Mage = 20.06, SDage = 1.57) viewed social media images of sexualized peers, non-sexualized peers, or landscapes (control). Th...

Daily instability in body dissatisfaction in individuals with and without eating disorders
Body Image. 2024 Mar 4;49:101688. doi: 10.1016/j.bodyim.2024.101688. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBody dissatisfaction (BD) includes negative thoughts and feelings about one's body shape. Although typically assessed as a trait, BD has been found to fluctuate within a day. The present study examined whether daily instability in BD differs according to trait BD, eating disorder (ED) diagnosis, and engagement in maladaptive exercise. Participants with EDs (n = 166) and controls (n = 44) completed a self-report measure of trait BD and reported BD and engagement in maladaptive exercise five times daily for 14 days as part of a...

Positive self-beliefs mediate the association between body appreciation and positive mental health
Body Image. 2024 Mar;48:101685. doi: 10.1016/j.bodyim.2024.101685. Epub 2024 Feb 21.ABSTRACTPrevious work has supported direct, positive associations between body appreciation and positive mental health, but has largely neglected to examine possible indirect mechanistic pathways. Here, we propose one relevant mediational pathway, wherein body appreciation is associated with positive mental health via positive self-beliefs (i.e., cognitions that lead individuals to view themselves, their lives, and/or their futures under a positive outlook). To test this hypothesis, we asked an online sample of 496 adults (249 women, 247 me...
