A qualitative exploration of narratives among problematic exercise experiences
Physical Appearance Anxiety and Eating Disorders Symptomatology
The present study aimed to assess the link between physical appearance anxiety (PAA) and eating disorder (ED) symptomatology by a meta‐analysis of existing literature. Eligible studies were searched across six electronic databases up until November 20, 2025. Pooled effect sizes ( r ) were calculated using random‐effects models. Potential variables that influence effect heterogeneity were analyzed by univariable and multivariable meta‐regressions.…

The study was designed to examine the predictors of higher BMI and a number of measures of disordered eating (dietary restraint, drive for muscularity, drive for thinness, binge eating, and compensatory behaviour).Method Young adults (N = 838) recruited from seven countries, grouped into four regions (Europe, No…
A Review of the Components of Problematic Exercise in Psychometric Assessment Instruments
Backgrounds: The range of theoretical conceptualizations of problematic exercise in psychometric assessment instruments makes it difficult to identify the components that define this phenomenon. A better understanding of the underlying components of problematic exercise may contribute to progress toward providing scientific evidence that allows for deciding whether problematic exercise should be considered a substantive mental health disorder. Th…

Psychometric properties of the body and appearance self-conscious emotions scale in Brazilian adolescents
This study examined the psychometric properties of the Body and Appearance Self-Conscious Emotions Scale in Brazilian adolescents. A sample of 827 adolescents (55% boys) filled out a questionnaire comprising the Body and Appearance Self-Conscious Emotions Scale and instruments assessing social physique anxiety, positive/negative affect, and self-esteem. After removing one item originally proposed for the guilt factor (Item 7), the results support…
Morbid exercise behaviour and eating disorders
Examining the role of social physique anxiety on the relationship between physical appearance comparisons and disordered eating symptoms among Spanish emerging adults
The present study extends previous research by examining the moderating/mediating role of social physique anxiety (SPA) on the relationship between physical appearance comparisons (PAC) and symptoms of disordered eating (DE) in adolescent population. A total of 555 emerging adults (59% women) ranging from 18 to 30 years of age ( M = 21.34, SD = 2.80) were recruited from two public universities from Spain using a non‐probabilistic sampling techniq…
Parents’ and Peers’ Autonomy Support and Exercise Intention for Adolescents
Based on the theory of planned behaviour and self-determination theory, the objective of the present study was to analyse the relationship between (i) parents' and peers' autonomy support, and (ii) exercise intention in adolescents, while also considering the mediating role of attitude, control, subjective norms, and descriptive norms. A total of 428 secondary school students, aged between 13 and 19 years old ( M age = 15.30, SD = 1.15), filled i…
The Development of the Internalization of Sociocultural Body Ideals Scale Using Items From the Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire
Eating disorders and body image disturbance are known to result in unhealthy consequences. When attempting to understand the etiology and management of these disorders, sociocultural models of body image disturbance and disordered eating have been predominant. The objective of the present study was to develop and validate the Internalization of Sociocultural Body Ideals Scale (ISBIS), a psychometric instrument that utilizes items from various ver…
