Existing psychosocial interventions are limited, with inconsistent support noted by specialists. Improved provision and accessibility are crucial; yet, the self-perceived needs remain underreported. This study explored the self-reported support needs of affected adults to better understand their needs and inform support provision. An online survey conducted in the UK from October to December 2022 inquired about support preferences, delivery methods, and current and future anticipated considerations when seeking assistance. Quantitative data were analyzed statistically, and open-ended responses were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Five hundred and fifty individuals (aged 18-82 years; 489 (88.9 %) female) participated. The majority (80.5 %) wanted more information on potential treatments, while 53.6 % wanted insights into causes, and 61.3 % wanted help accepting their appearance. Preferred sources included healthcare professionals (89.3 %), online/digital platforms (websites 65.8 %, online support groups 47.6 %) and in-person support (counseling (45.8 %), support groups (37.5 %)). Participants' support-seeking decisions were influenced by access to condition-specific information, evidence-based practices, and healthcare professional awareness. Individuals with visible differences require holistic support from various providers, delivered in a range of formats. Findings can inform support strategies and services.","PeriodicalId":48312,"journal":{"name":"Body Image","volume":"52 ","pages":"101840"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142865758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study aims to explore the content of text-based interactions initiated by self-images on Instagram. Seventeen adolescent girls from the UK (Age M = 15.12; SD = 1.80; Range = 12-18) provided data from their most recent Instagram posts (up to 10 posts) as part of one-to-one interviews. This included images (n = 85), captions (n = 85), direct comments on images (n = 630) and participants' first replies to direct comments (n = 459). An inductive-deductive content analysis was used to analyse Instagram data, and a template analysis was used to analyse the interview data to aid with the interpretation of the content. Analyses showed positive appearance-related compliments were highly prevalent on Instagram posts (79.2 % of comments) and were considered the norm. Compliments tended to focus on general, rather than specific appearance qualities. Girls tended to respond to compliments using likes, gratitude, or affectionate expressions. The findings highlight the role of self-objectification and self-presentation strategies in dictating the norms of adolescent girls' text-based interactions on Instagram. Implications and directions for future research are discussed.","PeriodicalId":48312,"journal":{"name":"Body Image","volume":"52 ","pages":"101839"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142830470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most countries in Latin America (LA) have received little empirical attention. The current study qualitatively explored Nicaraguan women's ideas about appearance, and the role of televisual media in shaping their body image. A total of 24 women of Creole and Mestizo ethnicities from small communities on the rural Caribbean coast of Nicaragua took part in 4 focus groups. A semi-inductive thematic analysis was used to interpret the women's transcribed conversations. Findings suggest that local cultural appearance ideals for women are relatively loosely defined and center on a curvy body shape and other aspects of appearance rather than a low body weight. Most women reported being satisfied with their 'God-given' bodies and showed little desire to modify them, although Mestizo women tended to diet more. Television (TV) was seen as both a positive and a negative influence on women's attitudes towards and behaviours around their appearance and their bodies. Our findings contribute to the scant literature on media influence on body image in under researched contexts and could provide evidence for alternative approaches to preventative work in ethnically diverse Latin American populations.","PeriodicalId":48312,"journal":{"name":"Body Image","volume":"52 ","pages":"101817"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142821771","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This systematic review aimed to collate and synthesise research examining the relationship between diet and fitness app use and disordered eating, including body image concerns and compulsive exercise. Additionally, it sought to identify how app type, frequency of use, and other contributing factors may influence the relationships investigated. A systematic search of peer-reviewed and published journal articles was undertaken using five electronic databases (Medline, PsycINFO, ProQuest, Scopus, and Web of Science). Thirty-eight articles were included. Disordered eating symptomology was higher in young adults who use diet and fitness apps and among those who use them more frequently, than non-users. Qualitative research indicated unintended consequences of this type of app use (e.g., pressure to meet goals and guilt). No causal conclusions could be drawn. Cross-sectional evidence suggests that the use of diet and fitness apps is associated with disordered eating, body image concerns and compulsive exercise. Future research should attempt to disentangle potential differences between app types and features, investigate potential risk and protective factors, and extend work to under researched populations (e.g., adolescents).","PeriodicalId":48312,"journal":{"name":"Body Image","volume":"52 ","pages":"101836"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142822568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While useful, this research exclusively focuses on intentional social media exposure/use: the purposeful use of appearance-related social media content to fulfill particular needs. However, oftentimes young people incidentally encounter appearance content without actively searching for it; i.e., incidental appearance social media exposure. To date, research has yet to differentiate between incidental and intentional appearance exposure and investigate how each of these relates to body image. This review addresses this gap by identifying different ways in which social media incidental exposure may relate to young people's body image. We first explain the potential of incidental social media exposure to promote positive body image, focusing on exposure diversity (exposure to diverse appearance content). Then we reflect upon conditions under which social media incidental exposure may facilitate exposure diversity. Lastly, we discuss how cognitive response states mediate the relationship between social media incidental exposure and body image outcomes, and the role of social identities. We conclude with recommendations for how to include social media incidental appearance exposure in future body image research.","PeriodicalId":48312,"journal":{"name":"Body Image","volume":"52 ","pages":"101838"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142819578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we examined the association between trait self-concept clarity and the frequency and impact of appearance comparisons in women's everyday lives. Participants (146 women) completed a trait measure of self-concept clarity, and then participated in an ecological momentary assessment study in which they were signaled 5 times per day for 5 days and reported any appearance comparisons they made as well as their body image, affect, dieting/exercising thoughts, and dieting/exercise behavior. Self-concept clarity was negatively associated with the total number of signals at which an appearance comparison was reported, and with the number of upward (but not downward or lateral) comparisons made. However, self-concept clarity did not moderate the impact of making an appearance comparison on any of the outcomes (body image, affect, dieting/exercising thoughts, dieting/exercise behavior). These findings suggest that the increased risk associated with low self-concept clarity comes from the fact that these individuals are more frequently making (upward) appearance comparisons in their daily lives, the cumulative effects of which may result in greater body dissatisfaction over time.","PeriodicalId":48312,"journal":{"name":"Body Image","volume":"52 ","pages":"101820"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142773796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two common limitations of these interventions are their ability to be delivered at scale, and for the task of intervention delivery to be shifted to non-professional facilitators.

The current study evaluated the Australian primary school version of the program, intended for students in Years 5 and 6. Five schools (N=361 students, 10-12 years old) participated in a pilot trial of the EKCP. Students completed two surveys pre-program to establish a within-subjects control period, and then completed follow-up surveys at one-week and one-month post-program. The EKCP was acceptable to both students and teachers. Students who participated in the program showed a small increase in self-compassion at one-week post-program, but this did not persist at one month. Girls showed stronger intentions to behave positively on social media compared to boys. Findings provide preliminary evidence that the EKCP is a safe and acceptable intervention.
