Abstract

Given 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 from the Australian general public to complete a brief survey before and after viewing the film. After viewing the film, significant increases in state body appreciation, state functionality appreciation and state self-compassion were reported for children (d = 0.46 – 0.61) and adults (d = 0.88 – 1.08). They supported the safety of the film by indicating that it did not make them more concerned about their appearance. Findings provide initial support for the film as a scalable intervention that can be safely task-shifted to non-professional audiences. Future research directions include comparing the effect of Embrace Kids against a control film, and testing the longitudinal impact of the film on trait body image.

关于 "拥抱孩子 "电影对儿童和成人身体形象及自我同情影响的前后期评估
鉴于年轻人普遍对身体不满意,而且这种不满意往往会持续到成年,因此需要采取大规模的干预措施来解决这一问题。电影被认为是一种非常适合大规模传播的资源,可以产生广泛的影响和覆盖面。旨在改善青少年身体形象的电影《拥抱孩子》就是这样一种资源。为了评估这部电影对身体形象的影响,我们从澳大利亚公众中招募了 55 名儿童(平均年龄 10.59 岁,平均年龄 1.49 岁)和 47 名成年人(平均年龄 43.75 岁,平均年龄 8.54 岁),让他们在观看电影前后填写一份简短的调查问卷。据报告,观看影片后,儿童(d = 0.46 - 0.61)和成人(d = 0.88 - 1.08)的身体状态鉴赏力、功能状态鉴赏力和自我同情状态都有明显提高。他们支持影片的安全性,表示影片并没有让他们更加关注自己的外表。研究结果初步证明,该影片是一种可扩展的干预措施,可以安全地将任务转移给非专业观众。未来的研究方向包括比较《拥抱孩子》与对照影片的效果,以及测试影片对特质身体形象的纵向影响。
