  • Obesity as a disease

    Rheanna N Ata, J Kevin Thompson et al.ARTICLEStigma and Health2017

    In June 2013, the American Medical Association (AMA) made the highly controversial decision to designate obesity a disease. Proponents predicted the decision would lead to reduced weight-related stigma, whereas opponents predicted designating a third of the population as “diseased” would exacerbate stigma. To determine the effects of defining obesity as a disease on explicit and implicit weight-biased attitudes and explicit weight-biased beliefs,…

    The Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire-3 (SATAQ-3) and its earlier versions are measures designed to assess societal and interpersonal aspects of appearance ideals. Correlational, structural equation modeling, and prospective studies of the SATAQ-3 have shown consistent and significant associations with measures of body image disturbance and eating pathology. In the current investigation, the SATAQ-3 was revised to improve u…

    Leslie J Heinberg, Earl Pike et al.ARTICLEJournal of Homosexuality2009Cited by: 1References: 25

This preliminary study examined the prevalence of disturbed eating and body image symptomatology in a highly understudied and difficult to assess population-African-American men (n = 18) who have sex with men. Nineteen percent of the sample scored above clinical cut offs for possible eating disorders with 25% of the sample endorsing occ…

  • The Association of Perceived Partner-related Social Support with Self-reported Outcomes in Women Post-mastectomy

    Open AccessIan Kudel, Robert R Edwards et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health Psychology2008Cited by: 2References: 43

    Marital satisfaction is an important indicator of adaptation in patients with cancer; however, its relationship to medium-to-long-term health-related outcomes is less well understood. Married women ( N = 152) at least six months post-mastectomy were surveyed to determine whether marital satisfaction predicted non-weight-related body image distress (BID), pain impact, and mood, or whether the directionality of this association operated in reverse.…

  • The Media's Influence on Body Image Disturbance and Eating Disorders

    Open AccessJ Kevin Thompson, Leslie J HeinbergARTICLEJournal of Social Issues1999Cited by: 18

    Survey, correlational, randomized control, and covariance structure modeling investigations indicate that the media are a significant factor in the development and maintenance of eating and shape‐related disorders. One specific individual difference variable, internalization of societal pressures regarding prevailing standards of attractiveness, appears to moderate or even mediate the media's effects on women's body satisfaction and eating dysfun…
