Understanding fitness professionals’ weight biases and uptake of weight-inclusive practices
Weight bias is highly prevalent in the fitness industry, posing significant challenges for fat people seeking to engage in health-promoting behaviours, such as physical activity. Despite small ideological shifts in the fitness industry towards more weight-inclusive practices, little is known about fitness professionals’ engagement with such approaches. The aim of the current study was to explore weight bias attitudes among weight-normative and we…

The ECS was adapted from the Everyday Discrimination Scale using existing research, expert reviews, and acceptability interviews. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, and reliability and validity analyses were con…
Body Image among Girls in Indonesia
Body image is an important risk factor for mental and physical health during adolescence. Nonetheless, few studies have empirically investigated body image among girls in Southeast Asia. This cross-sectional study examined the prevalence of body esteem (a holistic measure of body image assessing the degree of satisfaction with one's appearance, weight, and shape), associated behavioral outcomes, and potential psychosocial influences on body image…

Game on! A randomised controlled trial evaluation of playable technology in improving body satisfaction and negative affect among adolescents
Playables are mini-games used in digital advertising and may offer a novel and engaging avenue to improve young people’s well-being at scale. This randomised controlled trial evaluated the immediate impact and protective properties of a psychoeducational playable on adolescents’ body satisfaction and negative affect, and engagement in prosocial behaviours, relative to two active control conditions. Girls and boys aged 13–14 years ( N = 6575) were…

Consumer opinion on social policy approaches to promoting positive body image
Disclaimer labels on airbrushed media images have generated political attention and advocacy as a social policy approach to promoting positive body image. Experimental research suggests that labelling is ineffective and consumers' viewpoints have been overlooked. A mixed-method study explored British consumers' ( N = 1555, aged 11-78 years) opinions on body image and social policy approaches. Thematic analysis indicated scepticism about the effec…
The Cambridge Handbook of the Psychology of Prejudice
The Cambridge Handbook of the Psychology of Prejudice aims to answer the questions: why is prejudice so persistent? How does it affect people exposed to it? And what can we do about it? Providing a comprehensive examination of prejudice from its evolutionary beginnings and environmental influences through to its manifestations and consequences, this handbook is an essential resource for scholars and students who are passionate about understanding…
Looking age-appropriate while growing old gracefully
Body dissatisfaction can be significantly detrimental to wellbeing. Little is known about older adults' body image, despite the fact that ageing causes unique bodily changes and that sociocultural pressures to resist these changes abound. We conducted six focus groups with a UK community sample of White British and South Asian older adults aged 65-92 years. Thematic analysis highlighted four themes: appearance indicates capability and identity; p…
Social comparisons on social media
How is men’s conformity to masculine norms related to their body image? Masculinity and muscularity across Western countries
Previous research has suggested that men's conformity to masculine norms (CMN) is an important correlate of men's drive for muscularity. 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…
The Mediating Role of Appearance Comparisons in the Relationship Between Media Usage and Self-Objectification in Young Women
The media’s portrayal of women is often sexually objectifying, and greater exposure to objectifying media is associated with higher levels of self-objectification among young women. One reason why media usage may be associated with self-objectification is because women may be comparing their appearance to others in the media. The present study examined (a) the relationship between the usage of different media types (online social media [Facebook]…
Applying the contact hypothesis to anti-fat attitudes
Can appearance conversations explain differences between gay and heterosexual men’s body dissatisfaction
Men’s body dissatisfaction is prevalent and a serious health concern as it is associated with negative outcomes including depression, disordered eating and anabolic steroid abuse. Gay men are particularly vulnerable to body dissatisfaction perhaps due to heightened sociocultural appearance pressures experienced in gay subculture. Appearance conversations represent an under-researched, but potentially potent, mechanism of appearance pressures. The…
