The present work aimed to evaluate the factorial structure and internal consistency of the German version of the BCBS, as well as to examine its prospective, bidirectional relationships with appearance comparison, body appreciation, and weight/shape concerns. Data were analyzed from a large community sample of 1436 women with a mean age of 26.82 years (SD = 8.66). Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) revealed two factors, referring to external (BCBS-E) and internal (BCBS-I) beauty qualities. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling (ESEM) confirmed this two-factor structure, and Bifactor-ESEM modeling revealed a general factor. This bifactor-model also showed longitudinal invariance over six months, supporting its cross-validity. Both the general factor and subscales scores demonstrated satisfactory internal consistency. Prospective hierarchical regression analyses indicated a bidirectional relationship between appearance comparison and BCBS scores (general and subscale). Additionally, higher BCBS-E scores predicted greater decreases in weight/shape concerns over time, and greater body appreciation uniquely predicted greater increases in BCBS scores (general and subscale), even after accounting for the effects of appearance comparison and weight/shape concerns. Findings contribute to the limited research on women's ability to broadly conceptualize beauty in the German context and provide novel insights into its prospective relationships.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48312,"journal":{"name":"Body Image","volume":"53 ","pages":"Article 101898"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144070210","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}

Taking a sociocultural perspective, we examine how portrayals of visible difference in traditional and social media perpetuate stereotypes, promote unrealistic narrow beauty ideals and stigma. We show the value of considering how intersectional identities, such as gender, race, and sexuality, reveal the unique experiences of marginalized groups, and explore visible differences within low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where stigma and human rights violations persist, advocating for culturally sensitive interventions at family, community, healthcare, and governmental levels. We demonstrate the importance of integrating visible difference and disability research, promoting pride in identity, and involving people with lived experience in research, healthcare and advocacy. Recommendations include incorporating social models of disability into visible difference research and practice and increasing the presence of visible difference in disability work, fostering inclusive representation in the media, leveraging social media to normalize differences, and expanding research to capture the diversity of experiences of visible difference, particularly in underrepresented groups and regions. This would advance understanding and inform policies and practices that enhance acceptance, reduce stigma, and support the well-being of individuals living with visible differences and their families.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48312,"journal":{"name":"Body Image","volume":"53 ","pages":"Article 101900"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143946498","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 ability to inhabit the body positively may be one such mitigating factor, and the developmental theory of embodiment is a novel framework allowing exploration of an integrated range of protective (and risk) sociocultural factors that may contribute to embodied well-being. This cross-sectional survey study therefore examined relationships among embodied well-being, severity of PCOS symptoms, body mass index (BMI), mental freedom (exposure to a social environment that facilitates an internalised critical stance towards oppressive social discourses, including femininity discourses on appearance and comportment), and perceived body acceptance by others in a sample of 140 women with PCOS, 18 years and over, living in Australia. Results of hierarchical multiple regression demonstrated that BMI and PCOS severity were negatively related to embodied well-being, but that when mental freedom and perceived body acceptance by others were added to the model, only PCOS severity, mental freedom, and body acceptance by others were significantly related to embodied well-being. Neither mental freedom nor body acceptance by others moderated the relationship between PCOS severity and BMI and embodied well-being.
