Appearance comparison on Instagram: The impact of fitspiration and transformation imagery on young women's body satisfaction
Eat Behav. 2023 Sep 12;51:101812. doi: 10.1016/j.eatbeh.2023.101812. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFitspiration, or imagery of thin muscular individuals that displays their physiques while posing or exercising, is a popular type of content on Instagram which ostensibly exists to encourage individuals to engage in a healthy lifestyle. A subtype of fitspiration imagery, "transformation" imagery, depicts physical changes following a "lifestyle change" involving diet and exercise. Despite its intentions, fitspiration imagery largely promotes one idealized body type (the fit ideal) and can be accompanied by messages encouraging...

The effects of brief diet and anti-diet social media videos on body image and eating concerns among young women
Eat Behav. 2023 Sep 12;51:101811. doi: 10.1016/j.eatbeh.2023.101811. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe effects of photo-based platforms on body image concerns are well documented, yet it is unknown whether these effects replicate across video-based platforms such as TikTok. Thus, this experimental study aimed to examine the relationship between video-based platform use and body image. Women aged 18 to 21 (n = 421) were randomly assigned to watch two brief, consecutive TikTok videos in one of three conditions: (1) diet culture, (2) anti-diet, (3) neutral. Participants allocated to the anti-diet condition reported greater in...

Evaluating eating behavior traits of virtual targets: Attitudes and empathy
Eat Behav. 2023 Sep 2;51:101808. doi: 10.1016/j.eatbeh.2023.101808. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThere are many common stereotypes related to food consumption and eating behaviors that are considered indicative of one's personal character. Negative evaluations of an individual based on their eating behaviors may lead to stigmatization and other harmful psychosocial outcomes. Using vignette scenarios, we examined 582 participants' attitudes towards two target characters who exhibited bitter food dislike and high reward-based eating drive respectively. In open-ended text responses, participants were more likely to respond n...

Determinants of smoking related weight-concern in smokers participating in a community-based cessation program
CONCLUSIONS: Among adults attempting cessation, women, White smokers, and those less motivated to quit were more likely to smoke for weight control and to relapse due to weight gain. Higher BMI was associated with greater anticipation of relapse for men, but not women. Weight-concerns, for both measures, were not related to smoking history, psychosocial functioning, PA engagement or attitudes, or dietary variables. Results suggest potential cessation intervention targets for weight-concerned smokers.PMID:37699309 | DOI:10.1016/j.eatbeh.2023.101809 (Source: Eating Behaviors)
