Perceived effects of body positive social media content and correlations with trait body image

The aim of this study was to examine the role of TV/DVD viewing in the development of positive stereotypes toward thinness, self-esteem and body mass index standardized for child age and gender (BMIz) in very young girls.

Does good emotion management aid forgiving? Multiple dimensions of empathy, emotion management and forgiveness of self and others
The ability to forgive is considered important in the successful maintenance of relationships. In this study, a multifactorial model predicting two forms of forgiveness was examined in a combined community and university sample (N = 110) who reported on their ability to manage emotions, their tendency to empathize (through perspective taking, empathic concern, and personal distress), and their disposition to forgive others and self. Findings sugg…
Body Dissatisfaction, Dating, and Importance of Thinness to Attractiveness in Adolescent Girls
How Well Do Women Adapt to Changes in Their Body Size and Shape across the Course of Pregnancy
This study examined body image across pregnancy. Pregnant women ( N = 158) completed measures of general attractiveness, feeling fat, fitness and strength, salience of weight and shape, and ideal and current body size at pre-pregnancy (retrospective), and in early, middle and late pregnancy. Body image was found to be fairly stable across pregnancy such that women who started with greater body concerns maintained them over time. Although women we…

In addition the representativeness of the sample was investigated. Nearly half the girls, and 28% of boys reported using an extreme weight loss method at least occasionally. Females indicated greater body dissatisfaction and drive for thinness, but not bulimic tendencies, than males. Weight loss …

Depression, guilt, and self-management of pleasant and unpleasant events
The relation of subjects' depression and guilt to their choice to delay unpleasant and pleasant events was examined. Ninety-one college students chose to receive punishments and gratifications immediately or a week later. Depression, primarily in males, was related to a present orientation rather than a future orientation, namely, the choice of delayed punishments over immediate punishments and of immediate small rewards over large delayed reward…
