Functionality-focused interventions promote body image and well-being in women. However, whether these benefits are unique compared to appearance or personality appreciation remains unclear. The current study addressed this gap using an experimental post-only online study design in a sample of 260 women (ages 18–73) who were randomly allocated to complete a brief 10-minute writing task fostering appreciation of body functionality or appearance, or personality as a non-body-specific comparison. Effects on state well-being (i.e., positive and negative affect, gratitude), body image (i.e., body appreciation, appearance, and functionality satisfaction), and self-objectification were examined alongside task acceptability. In line with study hypotheses, results indicated that women in the functionality condition reported lower state self-objectification than women in both the appearance and personality conditions, greater body appreciation and functionality satisfaction than the personality condition, and greater gratitude compared to the appearance condition. The functionality condition was also rated as more meaningful than the personality condition and more helpful than both comparison conditions. Results support the unique benefits of brief writing tasks fostering functionality appreciation in women as a viable and acceptable target for body image and well-being promotion. Future studies testing change and duration of effects in more diverse samples are needed.

以功能为中心的干预措施促进了女性的身体形象和福祉。然而，与外貌或个性欣赏相比，这些好处是否独一无二尚不清楚。目前的研究通过一项仅限后期的实验性在线研究设计来解决这一差距，研究对象是260名年龄在18-73岁之间的女性，她们被随机分配完成一项简短的10分钟写作任务，以培养对身体功能或外表的欣赏，或作为非身体特定比较的个性。与任务可接受性一起，研究了对状态幸福感（即积极和消极影响、感激）、身体形象（即身体欣赏、外观和功能满意度）和自我客观化的影响。与研究假设一致，结果表明，功能条件下的女性比外表和人格条件下的女性表现出更低的状态自我物化，比人格条件下的女性表现出更高的身体欣赏和功能满意度，比外表条件下的女性表现出更大的感恩。功能条件也被认为比人格条件更有意义，比两种比较条件都更有帮助。结果支持简短的写作任务的独特好处，促进女性的功能欣赏，作为一个可行的和可接受的目标，身体形象和福祉的促进。未来的研究需要在更多不同的样本中测试影响的变化和持续时间。

In the present study, we translated and validated the Revised Male Body Attitudes Scale (MBAS-R) and examined its longitudinal associations with thinness- and muscularity-oriented eating disorder (ED) psychopathology and muscle dysmorphia symptoms in Chinese adult men. A total of 400 Chinese adult men (M_age = 30.24 years, SD = 8.55) were recruited to participate in two sequential phases: a baseline survey and a 6-month follow-up. Using baseline data, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses supported the original three-factor structure of the MBAS-R (i.e., muscularity, body fat, and height subscales), with the removal of one item. The MBAS-R total scale and subscales showed good internal consistency (McDonald’s ω =.81–.93), adequate test-retest reliability (ICC =.86–.95), and strong construct validity as demonstrated by significant positive associations with eating and body image disturbances, as well as weight and height actual-ideal discrepancies. Using both baseline (N = 400) and follow-up (N = 254) data, longitudinal analyses showed that higher MBAS-R total and/or subscale scores at baseline were significantly associated with higher levels of thinness-oriented ED psychopathology and muscle dysmorphia symptoms at follow-up, but not muscularity-oriented ED psychopathology. The findings of the present study support the sound psychometric properties of the MBAS-R and its use in Chinese adult men, highlighting the prospective role of disturbed body attitudes in relation to greater ED psychopathology and muscle dysmorphia symptoms in Chinese men.

在本研究中，我们翻译并验证了修订男性身体态度量表（MBAS-R），并考察了其与中国成年男性瘦型和肌肉型饮食失调（ED）精神病理和肌肉畸形症状的纵向关联。共招募400名中国成年男性（年龄30.24岁，SD = 8.55）参加两个连续阶段：基线调查和6个月的随访。使用基线数据，探索性和验证性因素分析支持MBAS-R的原始三因素结构（即肌肉量、体脂和身高亚量表），并删除了一个项目。MBAS-R总量表和子量表具有良好的内部一致性（McDonald 's ω = 0.81 - 0.93），足够的重测信度（ICC = 0.86 - 0.95），并且具有较强的结构效度，与饮食和身体形象障碍以及体重和身高实际-理想差异呈显著正相关。使用基线（N = 400）和随访（N = 254）数据，纵向分析显示，基线时较高的MBAS-R总分和/或亚量表得分与随访时较高水平的消瘦型ED精神病理和肌肉畸形症状显著相关，但与肌肉型ED精神病理无关。本研究的结果支持MBAS-R的良好心理测量特性及其在中国成年男性中的应用，强调了在中国男性中，不安的身体态度与更严重的ED精神病理和肌肉畸形症状有关的潜在作用。

Given that positive body image is correlated with a wide range of well-being indicators, it is important to develop effective strategies to protect users of social networks (SN) from potentially harmful SN content. This experimental study aimed to assess the impact of exposure to digitally altered images of young women, combined with verbal and visual disclaimers, on positive body image (body appreciation, body functionality appreciation and body satisfaction). For this study, 270 female SN users (M = 21.55; SD=3.31) were exposed to one of four conditions: Control (neutral images), only edited images (images of digitally altered women’s bodies), visual disclaimer (images of comparisons between pre and post-edited women’s bodies), visual + verbal disclaimer (images of comparisons between retouched and unretouched women’s bodies accompanied by a verbal disclaimer). Partially in line with our hypotheses, analyses of covariance (ANCOVA) showed that participants exposed to the visual disclaimer or visual + verbal disclaimer conditions reported higher body satisfaction than those in the control group. The body satisfaction of women in the control group did not differ from that of women who saw only edited images. Moreover, no differences emerged between participants in the visual + verbal disclaimer condition and those in the visual disclaimer condition. Contrary to our hypotheses, the results indicated no impact on body appreciation or body functionality appreciation. These findings may have implications for the development of strategies aimed at increasing body satisfaction among young female users of SN.

鉴于积极的身体形象与广泛的幸福指标相关，制定有效的策略来保护社交网络（SN）用户免受潜在有害的SN内容的影响是很重要的。本实验研究的目的是评估年轻女性接触数字修改的图像，结合口头和视觉免责声明，对积极的身体形象（身体欣赏，身体功能欣赏和身体满意度）的影响。在本研究中，270名女性SN用户(M = 21.55；SD=3.31)的参与者被暴露在以下四种条件中的一种：对照（中性图片）、仅编辑过的图片（数字修改过的女性身体图片）、视觉免责声明（编辑前和编辑后的女性身体对比图片）、视觉+口头免责声明（修饰过和未修饰过的女性身体对比图片，并附有口头免责声明）。与我们的假设部分一致，协方差分析（ANCOVA）显示，接触视觉免责或视觉+口头免责条件的参与者报告的身体满意度高于对照组。控制组的女性对身体的满意度与只看编辑过的照片的女性没有什么不同。此外，在视觉+口头免责条件下的参与者与视觉免责条件下的参与者之间没有差异。与我们的假设相反，结果表明对身体欣赏或身体功能欣赏没有影响。这些发现可能对制定旨在提高年轻女性SN用户身体满意度的策略具有启示意义。

The present study used longitudinal network analysis to investigate the applicability of the tripartite influence model (TIM) and social comparison theories in explaining eating disorder (ED) psychopathology among Chinese adolescents. A total of 1428 Chinese adolescents (607 boys, 821 girls) participated in a four-wave longitudinal study over 18 months. Separate within-person contemporaneous and temporal networks were estimated for boys and girls, both demonstrating adequate network stability. In both boys’ and girls’ contemporaneous networks, peer pressures was the most influential node, while thin-ideal internalization and downward physical appearance comparison exhibited the highest bridge expected influence. In boys’ temporal network, TIM factors predicted most ED symptoms over time, whereas appearance comparisons had limited directional associations with ED symptoms. Also, in the boys’ temporal network, contingency of self-worth on shape/weight showed the highest in-expected influence, and peer pressures had the highest out-expected influence and the highest bridge centrality. In contrast, girls’ temporal network revealed bidirectional associations among TIM and social comparison factors, both of which had directional links with ED symptoms. Furthermore, in girls’ temporal network, peer pressures exhibited the highest in-expected influence, upward physical appearance comparison exhibited the highest out-expected influence, and both thin-ideal internalization and upward physical appearance comparison had the highest bridge centrality. These findings suggest sex-specific patterns linking sociocultural influences to ED psychopathology, highlighting the potential importance of targeting key sex-specific sociocultural factors when designing interventions.

本研究采用纵向网络分析的方法，探讨了三方影响模型（TIM）和社会比较理论在解释中国青少年饮食失调（ED）心理病理中的适用性。共有1428名中国青少年（607名男孩，821名女孩）参加了为期18个月的四波纵向研究。对男孩和女孩进行了单独的个人同期和时间网络估计，两者都显示出足够的网络稳定性。在男孩和女孩的同时期网络中，同伴压力是影响最大的节点，而瘦理想内化和向下的外貌比较表现出最高的桥梁预期影响。在男孩的颞网络中，TIM因素预测了大多数ED症状，而外表比较与ED症状的定向关联有限。在男孩的时间网络中，自我价值感对身材/体重的偶然性的预期内影响最大，同伴压力的预期外影响最大，桥梁中心性最大。相比之下，女孩的时间网络显示TIM和社会比较因素之间的双向关联，两者都与ED症状有方向性联系。此外，在女孩的时间网络中，同伴压力表现出最大的期望内影响，向上的外表比较表现出最大的期望外影响，瘦理想内化和向上的外表比较都具有最高的桥梁中心性。这些发现表明，社会文化影响与ED精神病理之间存在着性别特异性模式的联系，强调了在设计干预措施时，针对关键的性别特异性社会文化因素的潜在重要性。

There is an urgent need to decentre white-centric epistemologies and methodologies in body image research. However, systemic change will be difficult to achieve without understanding body image researchers’ perceptions of the scale of the problem and the barriers they face in disrupting white supremacy. The present study aims to: i) explore researchers’ perceived impact of white supremacy in the field, and ii) identify barriers in adopting anti-racist research practices. Forty-seven body image and appearance researchers (aged 24–57 years; M = 33.96, SD = 7.31) across career stages participated in an online survey examining their understanding of white supremacy’s influence on the field, barriers in adopting anti-racist research practices on multiple levels, and their perceived responsibility and impact. Descriptive data indicated some perceived influence of white supremacy on body image research currently (M = 2.87; SD = 2.11; range = 1–7). Participants attributed greater responsibility for addressing white supremacy to researchers who were more advanced in their career, with late-stage researchers most frequently ranked most responsible (n = 21). Participants rated their own responsibility as moderately low (M = 2.02; SD = 0.93) but their own actions as slightly impactful (M = 4.65; SD = 2.08; all ranges 1–7). Reflexive content analysis highlighted the importance in contextualising researchers’ situatedness within white-centric power structures (Category 1), characterised by homogenous white spaces and groups (Category 2), which contributed to multiple barriers within the research process (Category 3). Based on these findings, we made recommendations for targeted and practical solutions to move the field forward.

在身体形象研究中，迫切需要打破以白人为中心的认识论和方法论。然而，如果不了解身体形象研究人员对问题规模的看法，以及他们在打破白人至上主义时面临的障碍，就很难实现系统性的改变。本研究旨在：i)探索研究人员对该领域白人至上主义的感知影响，ii)确定采用反种族主义研究实践的障碍。47名身体形象与外貌研究者(年龄24-57岁；M = 33.96, SD = 7.31)参与了一项在线调查，调查了他们对白人至上主义对该领域的影响的理解，在多个层面上采取反种族主义研究实践的障碍，以及他们认为的责任和影响。描述性数据表明，目前白人至上主义对身体形象研究的一些感知影响(M = 2.87；Sd = 2.11；范围= 1-7)。参与者认为，在解决白人至上问题上，处于职业生涯晚期的研究人员负有更大的责任，而处于职业生涯后期的研究人员通常被评为最负责任的（n = 21）。参与者对自己责任的评价为中等低(M = 2.02；SD = 0.93)，但他们自己的行为影响较小(M = 4.65；Sd = 2.08；所有范围为1-7)。反身性内容分析强调了研究人员在以白人为中心的权力结构（第1类）中的情境化的重要性，这种权力结构的特征是同质的白人空间和群体（第2类），这导致了研究过程中的多重障碍（第3类）。基于这些发现，我们提出了有针对性和实用的解决方案，以推动该领域向前发展。

Body image has a key impact on adolescent mental health. Yet there are few evidence-based interventions for older adolescents (aged 14 + years). This study evaluated the effectiveness of Be Real’s BodyKind, a strengths-focused, gender-inclusive programme, culturally adapted for older adolescents in Ireland, which combines empirically-supported principles of cognitive dissonance, self-compassion, compassion for others, and social activism to support positive body image. Twenty-three second-level schools in Ireland participated in a pragmatic cluster randomised controlled trial. Overall, 1099 students (612 girls, 460 boys, 27 gender minority students) in Transition (4th) Year aged 15–16 years (M=15.4, SD=.5) were randomly assigned to receive the 4-session intervention delivered by teachers (n = 630) or waitlist control (n = 469). Outcomes were assessed at baseline, post-intervention and 2-month follow-up. Significant improvements in the main outcome of body appreciation (p = .03, d=.17) were observed at post-intervention. Girls demonstrated higher levels of body appreciation at post-intervention, and self-compassion at follow-up, but not boys. No significant changes in body satisfaction, psychological wellbeing, body ideal internalisation, compassion for others or social activism were observed. Findings indicate that girls may experience brief gains in body appreciation, but refining the programme and optimising implementation may be warranted to enhance programme impact, particularly in boys.

身体形象对青少年的心理健康有重要影响。然而，针对年龄较大的青少年（14岁 以上）的循证干预措施很少。本研究评估了Be Real 's body kind的有效性，这是一个以优势为中心、性别包容的项目，适合爱尔兰年龄较大的青少年，它结合了经验支持的认知失调原则、自我同情、同情他人和社会行动主义，以支持积极的身体形象。爱尔兰的23所二级学校参与了一项实用的集群随机对照试验。总体而言，1099名15-16岁的过渡(4)年级学生（M=15.4， SD=.5）被随机分配接受由教师（n = 630）或候补组（n = 469）提供的4次干预。在基线、干预后和2个月随访时评估结果。身体欣赏的主要结果显著改善（p = ）。03, d=.17)。女孩在干预后表现出更高的身体欣赏水平，在随访中表现出更高的自我同情水平，而男孩则没有。在身体满意度、心理健康、身体理想内化、对他人的同情或社会活动方面没有观察到明显的变化。研究结果表明，女孩在欣赏身体方面可能会有短暂的收获，但可能需要改进方案并优化实施，以增强方案的影响，特别是对男孩的影响。

Body functionality, a facet of positive body image, has demonstrated its strong relationship with improvements in body image and wellbeing. While body functionality is an emerging field of research, its principles have been deeply embedded and practiced within Indigenous cultures for centuries. This review examines the socio-cultural barriers in modern Western contexts that impede intuitive appreciation of body functionality, contrasting these with Indigenous perspectives that intuitively cultivate it. By exploring six important Indigenous facilitators of body functionality—land, community, spirituality, movement, creativity, and sexuality—we demonstrate how Indigenous practices holistically integrate awareness and appreciation of the body’s functions into cultural, spiritual, and communal frameworks. We argue that reconnecting with these values can deepen the conceptual and practical applications of body functionality appreciation.

身体机能是积极身体形象的一个方面，它与身体形象和健康的改善有着密切的关系。虽然身体功能是一个新兴的研究领域，但几个世纪以来，它的原则已经深深植根于土著文化中。这篇综述考察了现代西方背景下阻碍对身体功能的直观欣赏的社会文化障碍，并将这些障碍与直觉地培养身体功能的土著观点进行了对比。通过探索六个重要的土著身体功能促进因素——土地、社区、灵性、运动、创造力和性——我们展示了土著实践如何将对身体功能的认识和欣赏整体地整合到文化、精神和社区框架中。我们认为，与这些价值观的重新联系可以深化身体功能欣赏的概念和实际应用。

The surge in popularity of cosmetic surgery in recent years is noteworthy. In an era where societal standards of beauty increasingly shape individual development, it is imperative to comprehend the psychological factors that underpin the consideration of cosmetic surgery. The present study aimed to examine the relationship between fear of negative appearance evaluation (FNAE) and cosmetic surgery consideration as well as the mediating roles of body shame in this relationship. Furthermore, the moderating role of physical appearance perfectionism and body appreciation in the indirect association between FNAE and cosmetic surgery consideration via body shame was also examined. A sample of 1481 Chinese adolescents (720 girls, mean age = 15.49 ± 1.84) completed measures of FNAE, body shame, physical appearance perfectionism, body appreciation, and cosmetic surgery consideration. Results showed that FNAE was positively associated with cosmetic surgery consideration. Body shame mediated the association between FNAE and cosmetic surgery consideration. Furthermore, physical appearance perfectionism strengthened the association between body shame and cosmetic surgery consideration such that this association is more pronounced for individuals with high levels of physical appearance perfectionism. Additionally, body appreciation buffered the relationship between FNAE and body shame, with the relationship being significant only for individuals with low body appreciation. Findings of the present study enrich the literature on cosmetic surgery consideration, and have important implications for reducing negative body image and cosmetic surgery among adolescents.

近年来整容手术的流行趋势值得注意。在一个社会审美标准日益影响个人发展的时代，理解支撑整容考虑的心理因素是必要的。本研究旨在探讨外貌负面评价恐惧（FNAE）与整容考虑之间的关系，以及身体羞耻在这一关系中的中介作用。此外，我们还研究了外表完美主义和身体欣赏在FNAE与通过身体羞耻考虑整容手术的间接关联中的调节作用。1481名中国青少年（720名女孩，平均年龄= 15.49 ± 1.84）完成了FNAE、身体羞耻、外表完美主义、身体欣赏和整容手术考虑的测量。结果显示FNAE与是否考虑整容呈正相关。身体羞耻感在FNAE和整容考虑之间起中介作用。此外，外表完美主义加强了身体羞耻感和整容考虑之间的联系，这种联系在外表完美主义程度高的人身上更为明显。此外，身体欣赏对FNAE和身体羞耻之间的关系有缓冲作用，只有在身体欣赏程度低的个体中，这种关系才显著。本研究的发现丰富了关于整形手术的文献考虑，并对减少青少年的负面身体形象和整形手术具有重要意义。

With the body positivity movement being popularized through the internet (e.g., social media, websites) around 2010, the question remains whether fashion and beauty advertisements have embraced diverse body shapes and traits or continue to promote idealized appearances throughout 2010-2020. With this quantitative content analysis, we examine female models in popular Belgian high-end fashion magazines 'Elle' and 'Marie Claire'. Our study analyzed 1310 female models in 1111 fashion and beauty advertisements from Belgian magazines 'Elle' and 'Marie Claire' between 2010 and 2020. Results revealed that less than 0.5 % of models were plus-size, and only 8.08 % had an average body size. Average and plus-size models were not sexualized more than slim models, though this might be due to their low prevalence. While diverse appearance traits were present, they often followed societal 'micro-trends' focused on facial attractiveness (e.g., having big brows), neglecting broader diversity traits such as cellulite. These findings highlight the limited representation of diverse body sizes and appearance traits in luxury fashion magazines, urgently calling for greater inclusivity in the fashion industry.

随着身体积极运动在2010年左右通过互联网（如社交媒体，网站）普及，问题仍然是时尚和美容广告是否已经接受了不同的体型和特征，或者在2010-2020年期间继续推广理想化的外表。通过定量内容分析，我们研究了流行的比利时高端时尚杂志《Elle》和《嘉人》中的女模特。我们的研究分析了2010年至2020年间比利时杂志《Elle》和《嘉人》上1111个时尚美容广告中的1310名女模特。结果显示，只有不到0.5% %的模特是大码模特，只有8.08% %的模特是平均身材。普通和大码模特并不比苗条模特更性感，尽管这可能是由于她们的普及率较低。虽然外貌特征多样化，但他们往往遵循社会“微观趋势”，关注面部吸引力（例如，眉毛大），而忽略了脂肪团等更广泛的多样性特征。这些发现凸显了奢侈时尚杂志中不同体型和外貌特征的代表性有限，迫切要求时尚行业提高包容性。

Gendered racial microaggressions are defined as the nuanced expressions of oppression that Black women can encounter at the intersection of their racial and gender identities. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that greater frequency of gendered racial microaggressions will be associated with higher body dissatisfaction, drive for thinness, and binge eating and examined whether self-silencing mediated this association. Participants were 570 U.S.-based Black women (age M = 37.51 years) who completed an online survey on Prolific. Women completed self-reported measures of disordered eating, self-silencing, and the frequency of four specific dimensions of gendered racial microaggressions: (a) Assumptions of Beauty and Sexual Objectification, (b) Silenced and Marginalized, (c) Strong Black Woman stereotype, and (d) Angry Black Woman stereotype. Results indicated that greater frequency of gendered racial microaggressions in all four domains were associated with greater disordered eating. Self-silencing mediated this association across all domains except the Angry Black Woman stereotype. The results of the study not only highlight associations between gendered racial microaggressions and disordered eating, but additionally elucidate a potential mechanism through which this occurs—self-silencing—offering a promising avenue for future research oriented toward intervention among Black women, a population at elevated risk for disordered eating.

性别种族微侵犯被定义为黑人女性在其种族和性别身份的交叉点可能遇到的压迫的微妙表达。在本研究中，我们检验了性别种族微侵犯的频率越高，对身体的不满程度越高，追求苗条和暴饮暴食的倾向越高的假设，并检验了自我沉默是否介导了这种关联。参与者为570名 U.S.美国黑人女性（年龄M = 37.51岁）完成了多产网站的在线调查。妇女完成了自我报告的饮食失调、自我沉默和性别种族微侵犯的四个具体方面的频率测量：(a)美和性物化的假设，(b)沉默和边缘化，(c)坚强的黑人妇女刻板印象，(d)愤怒的黑人妇女刻板印象。结果表明，在所有四个领域中，性别种族微侵犯的频率越高，饮食失调的程度就越高。除了愤怒的黑人女性刻板印象外，自我沉默在所有领域都介导了这种联系。这项研究的结果不仅强调了性别种族微侵犯和饮食失调之间的联系，而且还阐明了这种情况发生的潜在机制——自我沉默——为未来针对黑人女性的干预研究提供了一条有希望的途径，黑人女性是饮食失调风险较高的人群。
