Survey data from 262 women, 0-5 years postpartum, were analysed. Latent profile analysis identified "average", "dissatisfied" and "appreciative" BIPs.…

  • Designing body image and eating disorder prevention programs for boys and men

    Jo Doley, Shay‐akil Mclean et al.ARTICLEPsychology of Men & Masculinity2020Cited by: 3

    There are no published articles to guide researchers, teachers, and community leaders in the design and development of body image and eating disorder prevention programs for boys and men, and very few school-based programs to reduce body dissatisfaction among boys have shown evidence of success. This article presents the use of “design thinking” that incorporates the needs of end users to optimize a school-based program for boys that aims to redu…

    Kristina Holmqvist Gattario, Ann Frisén et al.ARTICLEPsychology of Men & Masculinity2015Cited by: 13References: 11

The present study aimed to further delineate the relationship between masculinity and men's body image by examining various dimensions of CMN in relation to various dimensions of men's body image (muscularity, leanness, and fitness) in a cross-national sample. Participants comprised young men from the United Sta…

  • Personalised learning

    Open AccessVaughan Prain, Peter Cox et al.ARTICLEBritish Educational Research…2013Cited by: 5References: 36

    Personalised learning is now broadly endorsed as a key strategy to improve student curricular engagement and academic attainment, but there is also strong critique of this construct. We review claims made for this approach, as well as concerns about its conceptual coherence and effects on different learner cohorts. Drawing on literature around differentiation of the curriculum, self‐regulated learning, and ‘relational agency’ we propose a framewo…
