  • Is zero effect really evidence of no effect? Introducing an outcomes balance perspective

    Open AccessHannah K Jarman, Shay‐akil Mclean et al.ARTICLEBody Image2026

    The influence of social media on body image has been extensively studied over recent years, yet findings are often inconsistent, with many studies reporting small or negligible effects. Such inconsistencies have raised important theoretical and methodological questions about what null effects truly mean. Using social media and body image research as an exemplar, this paper explores the meaning of null effects in the association between these cons…

  • Examining associations between body appreciation and positive well-being among young adults

    Open AccessJoshua A Marmara, Warwick Hosking et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health Psychology2025Referências: 68

    Interest in positive body image stems from its contrast with negative body image. Research shows self-compassion and physical activity enhance body appreciation and positive well-being, yet their interaction in young adults is not well understood. This study examined connections between self-compassion, planned physical activity and intrinsic exercise motivations in 386 adults aged 18-39 ( Mage = 27.54; SD = 5.58). Path analysis and serial mediat…

  • What about young adults’ photo manipulation activity? The predictive role of body shame and the mediating effect of body esteem

    Open AccessFrancesca Gioia, Shay‐akil Mclean et al.ARTICLECurrent Psychology2024

    In recent years, the centrality of photos on Social Networking Sites (SNSs) dramatically increased among young adults. The particular attention addressed to visual self-presentation might lead to body shame, influencing individuals’ body esteem and, likely, promoting photo manipulation (PM). Indeed, manipulating photos to alter how the body appears might be driven by the need to improve self-esteem and reduce body shame, albeit by digitally modif…

  • Adolescents’ selfie-taking and selfie-editing

    Open AccessFrancesca Gioia, Shay‐akil Mclean et al.ARTICLECurrent Psychology2023

    ‘Selfie practices’ (e.g., editing, filtering, sharing) have become adolescents’ daily behaviors. The increasing centrality of online visual self-presentation might increase adolescents’ appearance-related concerns, problematic monitoring, and photo manipulation (PM). However, few studies focused on body image control in photos (BICP) and PM, and no studies evaluated the influence of selfie-expectancies on photo-taking and photo-editing. Consequen…

  • Social Media Use and Body Dissatisfaction in Adolescents

    Open AccessAn Vuong, An T Vuong et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021

    Internalisation of appearance ideals moderates the relationship between exposure to media images and body dissatisfaction. To date, the role of thin- and muscular-ideal internalisation in the context of social media remains under explored, particularly for boys. As such, we aimed to explore how social media use (Instagram and Snapchat) was related to body dissatisfaction, and whether thin- and muscular-ideal internalisation would moderate this re…

  • Direct and indirect relationships between social media use and body satisfaction

    Open AccessHannah K Jarman, Shay‐akil Mclean et al.ARTICLENew Media & Society2021Citada por: 2Referências: 8

    Cross-sectional research suggests a small, inverse association between social media use and body satisfaction. However, less is known regarding prospective, bidirectional, or mediating effects. In line with sociocultural theory, this study used a three-wave design to examine direct and indirect effects between social media use and body satisfaction, via thin-ideal and muscular-ideal internalisation and social comparisons. Adolescents ( n = 1911; …

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

    Jo Doley, Shay‐akil Mclean et al.ARTICLEPsychology of Men & Masculinity2020Citada por: 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…

  • AAPA Statement on Race and Racism

    Open AccessA Fuentes, Rebecca Rogers Ackermann et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Physical…2019Citada por: 23

    Race does not provide an accurate representation of human biological variation. It was never accurate in the past, and it remains inaccurate when referencing contemporary human populations. Humans are not divided biologically into distinct continental types or racial genetic clusters. Instead, the Western concept of race must be understood as a classification system that emerged from, and in support of, European colonialism, oppression, and discr…
