School-based interventions to promote body esteem and media literacy are a cost-effective way to improve body image and foster resilience against appearance pressures across diverse socio-economic contexts. We developed a culturally adapted intervention to promote body esteem and media literacy and piloted it in a two-arm semi-randomized controlled trial. Nicaraguan adolescents in two schools were allocated to receive a four-session, facilitator-delivered, school-based intervention that focused on critiquing appearance ideals, recognizing manipulated images, reducing social comparisons and resisting appearance pressures. Participants in two schools were allocated to the waitlist control condition. A total of 122 adolescents (77 girls, M_age = 13.7, SD = 1.55, range 11–18) answered questionnaires about body satisfaction, internalization of general and athletic ideals, sociocultural pressures, physical appearance comparison and eating attitudes before and one week after the intervention/control period; and completed open-ended questions at six-week follow-up. Throughout the program, they provided both qualitative and quantitative feedback after each session. Additional feedback was gathered from participants, observing teachers, and facilitators during focus groups at post-test to evaluate the program’s acceptability and feasibility. The intervention demonstrated good acceptability and feasibility. Participants showed improvements at post-test for perceived reality of social media and athletic internalization. Key learning points were retained at six-week follow-up. Our culturally adapted body image intervention is a feasible, acceptable, and promising tool to increase body esteem and media literacy in Nicaragua. These results suggest that after careful cultural adaptation, school-based body image interventions can be used in a variety of different cultural and socio-economic contexts.

以学校为基础的促进身体尊重和媒体素养的干预措施是改善身体形象和培养在不同社会经济背景下抵御外貌压力的经济有效方式。我们开发了一种适应文化的干预措施，以促进身体尊重和媒体素养，并在一项两组半随机对照试验中进行了试验。两所学校的尼加拉瓜青少年被分配接受一项由辅导员提供的、以学校为基础的四期干预，重点是批评理想外表、识别被操纵的形象、减少社会比较和抵制外表压力。两所学校的参与者被分配到候补名单控制条件。共122名青少年（77名女生，Mage = 13.7, SD = 1.55，范围11 ~ 18）在干预/控制期前和干预/控制期后1周回答了身体满意度、一般理想和运动理想内化、社会文化压力、外表比较和饮食态度等问卷；并在六周的随访中完成开放式问题。在整个课程中，他们在每次课程结束后都提供定性和定量反馈。在测试后的焦点小组中，从参与者、观察教师和辅导员那里收集了额外的反馈，以评估项目的可接受性和可行性。该干预措施具有良好的可接受性和可行性。参与者在社交媒体感知现实和运动内化的后测中表现出改善。在6周的随访中保留了关键的学习点。我们的文化适应性身体形象干预是一种可行、可接受和有前途的工具，可以提高尼加拉瓜对身体的尊重和媒体素养。这些结果表明，经过仔细的文化适应，以学校为基础的身体形象干预可以在各种不同的文化和社会经济背景下使用。

Systematic reviews of the growing research focused on body image and eating concerns experienced by transgender and gender diverse (TGD) people have highlighted (1) elevated levels of disordered eating, global ED pathology, and rates of body image concerns among TGD people as compared to cisgender individuals, with fewer differences between TGD groups; (2) consistent improvement in body image concerns following gender affirming care, with less clear patterns regarding eating outcomes; and (3) a relation between higher experiences of discrimination and body image concerns as well as eating pathology. Given these findings, the objective of this manuscript was to formulate critical new directions for future research. The first direction pertains to addressing the limitations of the extant research in terms of sampling, measures, and study design. The second is related to ways of extending the understanding of risk and protective factors for body image and eating concerns in TGD people. Third is the need for developing effective prevention and intervention efforts. Finally, establishing partnerships and focusing on co-design with individuals with lived experience is an essential direction. TGD individuals experience high risks for body image and eating concerns and additional research is needed to further inform intervention and resource allocation.

对越来越多的关于跨性别和性别多样化（TGD）人群身体形象和饮食问题的研究进行了系统回顾，强调了(1)与异性恋个体相比，TGD人群中饮食失调、全球ED病理和身体形象问题的发生率升高，TGD群体之间的差异较小；(2)在性别肯定护理后，对身体形象的关注持续改善，但饮食结果的模式不太明确；(3)较高的歧视体验与身体形象关注和饮食病理的关系。鉴于这些发现，本文的目的是为未来的研究制定关键的新方向。第一个方向涉及解决现有研究在抽样、测量和研究设计方面的局限性。第二个是关于如何扩大对TGD患者身体形象和饮食问题的风险和保护因素的理解。第三，需要制定有效的预防和干预措施。最后，与有生活经验的人建立合作关系并专注于共同设计是一个必要的方向。TGD个体在身体形象和饮食方面的风险很高，需要进一步的研究来进一步为干预和资源分配提供信息。

Enough is Enough (EIE) is characterized by feeling fed up with negative body image and feeling determined to change one’s body image, and may play a crucial role in the transition from a negative body image toward a predominantly positive body image. Study 1 aimed to develop a quantitative measure of EIE. Based on data collected among 552 adults (18–69 years) across two samples, the 3-item EIE Scale demonstrated a unidimensional factor structure and good psychometric properties. Study 2 adopted a single case experimental design, and aimed to develop a program to increase EIE among five women who identified as having a negative body image. The findings support that the EIE program led to increased EIE, with medium-to-large effects. While the research line focused on EIE, as part of this, we also sought to understand its relationship with participants’ readiness to change, or stage of change (SOC), and whether the EIE program would lead to increased SOC and positive body image. Study 1 showed that EIE is positively associated with SOC, and EIE predicted SOC beyond the variance accounted for by body image (related) variables. Study 2 showed that the EIE program led to increased SOC and positive body image, with small-to-medium effects. Some participants experienced increased EIE but not SOC (and vice versa), pointing to differences between constructs. Understanding how to initiate EIE may increase the number of individuals with negative body image who are open to change and the chances of existing body image interventions being effective.

Enough is Enough （EIE）的特征是对消极的身体形象感到厌倦，并决心改变自己的身体形象，这可能在从消极的身体形象向主要的积极的身体形象过渡中起着至关重要的作用。研究1旨在建立EIE的定量测量方法。基于两个样本552名18-69岁成人的数据，3项eee量表显示出单维因子结构和良好的心理测量特性。研究2采用单例实验设计，旨在制定一个计划，以提高五名被认为有负面身体形象的女性的EIE。研究结果支持，EIE项目导致EIE增加，具有中等到较大的影响。虽然研究重点是EIE，但作为研究的一部分，我们也试图了解其与参与者的改变准备或改变阶段（SOC）的关系，以及EIE计划是否会导致SOC和积极的身体形象的增加。研究1表明，EIE与SOC呈正相关，并且EIE预测SOC的方差超出了身体形象（相关）变量的方差。研究2表明，EIE项目提高了SOC和积极的身体形象，效果为中小型。一些参与者经历了EIE的增加，但没有SOC的增加（反之亦然），这表明了构念之间的差异。了解如何启动EIE可能会增加具有负面身体形象的个体的数量，他们愿意改变，并增加现有身体形象干预措施有效的机会。

Appearance-related social media consciousness (ASMC) is defined as the extent to which individuals’ thoughts and behaviors reflect ongoing awareness of whether they might look attractive to a social media audience. In this 3-study paper, we report the Italian validation of the ASMC Scale (ASMCS-I) for adult men and women. In Study 1, content validity was established through interviews (N = 110; 50 % women; M_age=30.22). Study 2 involved 144 participants (66.00 % women, M_age=36.51), with exploratory factor analysis supporting a single-factor solution consistent with the original version of the scale. In Study 3, we administered the ASMCS-I to an additional sample (N = 1008; 66.90 % women, M_age=33.29) to conduct confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) and validity analyses. The CFA supported the single-factor model with good fit indices. ASMCS-I scores demonstrated strong internal consistency, convergent and incremental validity. Convergent validity was found with correlations between the ASMCS-I and body surveillance, body shame, self-objectification, public situational self-awareness, and physical appearance comparison. Incremental validity of the ASMCS-I against body surveillance subscale (independent variables) was demonstrated with depressive and disordered eating symptoms (dependent variables). Finally, ASMCS-I is full invariant across gender and partially across age, indicating that it can be measured using the same scale for both men and women and social media users across different ages. These findings further validate the ASMCS-I as a robust instrument that accurately quantifies body image self-awareness in social media environments. It provides a measurement tool that is essential for advancing research on the psychosocial impact of digital environments on body image assessment.

与外表相关的社交媒体意识（ASMC）被定义为个人的思想和行为反映他们对社交媒体观众是否有吸引力的持续意识的程度。在这篇3项研究的论文中，我们报告了意大利对成年男性和女性的ASMC量表（ASMCS-I）的验证。在研究1中，通过访谈建立内容效度（N = 110；50 %女性；Mage=30.22）。研究2涉及144名参与者（66.00 %女性，Mage=36.51），探索性因素分析支持与原始版本量表一致的单因素解决方案。在研究3中，我们将ASMCS-I应用于另一个样本（N = 1008；66.90 %女性，Mage=33.29）进行验证性因素分析（CFA）和效度分析。CFA支持单因素模型，拟合指标较好。ASMCS-I得分具有较强的内部一致性、收敛性和递增性效度。ASMCS-I与身体监视、身体羞耻、自我物化、公共情境自我意识和外表比较存在趋同效度。ASMCS-I对身体监测量表（自变量）的增量效度在抑郁和饮食失调症状（因变量）中得到证实。最后，ASMCS-I在性别上是完全不变的，在年龄上是部分不变的，这表明它可以使用相同的量表来测量男性和女性以及不同年龄的社交媒体用户。这些发现进一步验证了ASMCS-I是一种可靠的工具，可以准确量化社交媒体环境下的身体形象自我意识。它提供了一种测量工具，对于推进数字环境对身体形象评估的心理社会影响的研究至关重要。

Expanding conceptualizations of beauty can promote positive body image and reduce appearance-related concerns. In collectivist cultures, beauty is often perceived through both appearance and inner or social qualities. This study examined the psychometric properties of the Thai version of the Broad Conceptualization of Beauty Scale (TH-BCBS), a culturally adapted measure reflecting Thai women’s inclusive beauty beliefs. The original measure (Tylka & Iannantuono, 2016) was translated and expanded to include dimensions relevant to the Thai context. A sample of 441 Thai female undergraduates completed the revised scale and other related measures. Exploratory factor analysis supported a three-factor model representing physical beauty, intrapersonal characteristics, and interpersonal characteristics. Results from an exploratory structural equation modeling revealed a well-defined general factor and a specific factor for interpersonal characteristics, despite the weaker representations of the other two. For predictive validity, the general factor predicted both body areas satisfaction and appearance evaluation. The physical beauty factor inversely predicted the drive for thinness. Convergent validity was supported by negative associations between physical beauty, thin-ideal internalization, and appearance comparison. The lack of association between body mass index and the TH-BCBS further supported the scale’s discriminant validity. Overall, the TH-BCBS is a reliable and culturally grounded instrument for assessing multidimensional beauty beliefs among Thai women, with implications for future positive body image research and interventions.

扩大美的概念可以促进积极的身体形象，减少与外貌有关的担忧。在集体主义文化中，美通常通过外表和内在或社会品质来感知。本研究考察了泰国版的广义美的概念量表（TH-BCBS）的心理测量特性，这是一种反映泰国女性包容性美的信仰的文化适应措施。原始测量（Tylka & Iannantuono, 2016）被翻译和扩展，以包括与泰国背景相关的维度。441名泰国女大学生完成了修订后的量表及其他相关测量。探索性因子分析支持一个三因素模型，代表身体美、内省特征和人际特征。探索性结构方程模型的结果揭示了人际特征的一个定义良好的一般因素和一个特定因素，尽管其他两个因素的代表性较弱。对于预测效度，一般因素预测身体部位满意度和外观评价。美貌因素与追求苗条的倾向相反。外表美、瘦型理想内化和外表比较之间的负相关关系支持收敛效度。身体质量指数与TH-BCBS之间缺乏相关性，进一步支持了量表的区分效度。总的来说，TH-BCBS是一种可靠的、有文化基础的工具，用于评估泰国女性多维度的美丽信念，对未来积极的身体形象研究和干预具有重要意义。

The perinatal period, which includes pregnancy and postpartum, is associated with body-image disturbance and increased risk of eating disorder (ED) onset or relapse. ED diagnoses that are most common in the perinatal period are also more prevalent among Black individuals compared to other races. However, existing ED screening tools may miss important cultural nuances within the Black population. There is little data on whether ED screening tools are effective at detecting body-image or eating issues among Black individuals, perinatal individuals, or the intersections between these groups. The purpose of this study was to conduct qualitative interviews with Black, African American, and Afro-Caribbean pregnant or postpartum individuals (N = 21, M_age=32.81) about their experiences with body-image and ED concerns during the perinatal period and to obtain their feedback on two existing ED screening measures. The overarching goal of the study was to gather participant input to inform the development of a culturally congruent perinatal ED screening tool. Transcribed interviews were analyzed using an iterative, multi-phased inductive approach based on constructivist grounded theory. Data were organized into two themes: 1) “Baby Runs the Body,” and 2) "Too small, too big, and don’t start me on my nose!” Feedback on existing ED screening tools was organized into a Cultural Congruence theme.

围产期，包括怀孕和产后，与身体形象障碍和饮食失调（ED）发作或复发的风险增加有关。与其他种族相比，在围产期最常见的ED诊断在黑人中也更为普遍。然而，现有的ED筛查工具可能会忽略黑人人群中重要的文化差异。关于ED筛查工具在黑人、围产期个体或这些群体之间的交叉点中是否有效检测身体形象或饮食问题的数据很少。本研究的目的是对黑人、非裔美国人和非洲裔加勒比人孕妇或产后个体（N = 21,Mage=32.81）进行定性访谈，了解她们在围产期对身体形象和ED的担忧经历，并获得她们对两种现有ED筛查措施的反馈。该研究的总体目标是收集参与者的意见，以告知文化一致的围产期ED筛查工具的发展。访谈记录采用基于建构主义理论的迭代、多阶段归纳方法进行分析。数据被组织成两个主题：1)“婴儿控制身体”，2)“太小，太大，不要让我鼻子着地！”对现有ED筛查工具的反馈被组织成一个文化一致性主题。饮食和身体形象问题得到了参与者的广泛支持，参与者表达了对饮食和身体形象问题的文化知情支持的愿望。结果表明围产期ED筛查的必要性。未来围产期ED筛查应纳入参与者的反馈，以促进文化包容性。

Engaging in the gay community provides support and affirmation, but it is often overlooked that some sexual minority men may experience stress from status-based competition within the mainstream gay community. These pressures are more prevalent among sexual minority men with lower social and sexual status, who are frequently devalued and excluded by other members of the community. Such experiences can be more psychologically impactful than rejection by mainstream society. This study investigated the relationship between gay community stress and psychological distress among sexual minority men and examined the mediating role of self-objectification. The sample consisted of 626 cisgender sexual minority men from Hong Kong. The results showed that gay community stress, particularly related to perceptions of the community’s focus on sex and social competition, was associated with reduced self-esteem and increased depression and anxiety symptoms. Self-objectification, manifesting through body surveillance and shame, mediated the relationship between gay community stress and psychological distress. Additionally, group comparisons revealed that feminine-presenting, larger-bodied, and lower-income men reported higher stress levels. The association between gay community stress and psychological distress was particularly pronounced among bisexual and pansexual men, those with lower masculinity, and those with higher BMI. This study provides crucial insights for developing targeted mental health interventions and gay community organizing strategies. Our findings call for a transformative approach to building more inclusive gay communities that embrace diversity in gender expression and body size, while actively mitigating the harmful effects of gay community stress experienced by sexual minority men with multiple marginalized identities.

参与同性恋群体提供了支持和肯定，但人们经常忽视的是，一些性少数男性可能会因为主流同性恋群体中基于地位的竞争而感到压力。这些压力在社会地位和性地位较低的性少数男性中更为普遍，他们经常受到社区其他成员的贬低和排斥。这样的经历比被主流社会拒绝更能在心理上产生影响。本研究探讨了同性恋群体压力与性少数群体男性心理困扰的关系，并考察了自我物化的中介作用。样本包括626名来自香港的顺性少数男性。研究结果显示，同性恋群体的压力，尤其是与群体对性和社会竞争的关注有关的压力，与自尊降低、抑郁和焦虑症状增加有关。自我物化，通过身体监视和羞耻表现出来，调解了同性恋群体压力和心理困扰之间的关系。此外，群体比较显示，女性化、体型较大和收入较低的男性报告的压力水平更高。同性恋群体压力和心理困扰之间的联系在双性恋和泛性恋男性中尤为明显，这些男性缺乏男子气概，BMI较高。这项研究为制定有针对性的心理健康干预措施和同性恋社区组织策略提供了重要的见解。我们的研究结果呼吁采取一种变革性的方法，建立更具包容性的同性恋社区，包容性别表达和体型的多样性，同时积极减轻具有多重边缘化身份的性少数男性所经历的同性恋社区压力的有害影响。

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。

Eating disorders have high relapse and mortality rates, complex treatment needs, and disproportionately affect women. A common characteristic of women with eating disorders is a lack of embodiment and disconnection from the body. Increasing positive embodiment may be a means to help support recovery. This study qualitatively examined the impact of time spent in nature as a potential mechanism for increasing positive embodiment during eating recovery among six women in Canada and the USA using semi-structured interviews and reflexive thematic analysis. Participants shared that spending time in nature helped them appreciate and care for their bodies and slow their eating disorder voice, providing a foundation on which to build and maintain recovery from their eating disorder. Participants also described how being in nature helped them feel connected, leading to feeling a sense of belonging and a part of something bigger than themselves. The findings from this pilot study warrant further investigation, and may have implications for eating disorder treatment for women, as spending time in nature during eating disorder recovery may help counterbalance societal pressures on women and support recovery maintenance.

饮食失调的复发率和死亡率高，治疗需求复杂，对妇女的影响尤其严重。患有饮食失调症的女性的一个共同特征是缺乏具体化，与身体脱节。增加积极的体现可能是帮助支持恢复的一种手段。本研究通过半结构化访谈和反身性主题分析，定性地考察了在大自然中度过的时间对加拿大和美国六名妇女在进食恢复期间增加积极体现的潜在机制的影响。参与者分享说，花时间在大自然中帮助他们欣赏和照顾自己的身体，减缓饮食失调的声音，为建立和保持从饮食失调中恢复提供基础。参与者还描述了在大自然中如何帮助他们感到联系，从而产生归属感，并成为比自己更大的事物的一部分。这项初步研究的结果值得进一步调查，并可能对女性饮食失调的治疗产生影响，因为在饮食失调恢复期间花时间在大自然中可能有助于平衡女性的社会压力，并支持恢复的维持。

Brazilian women experience a high level of appearance pressures, which are associated with risky health behaviours and adverse outcomes. Yet, the involvement with fashion clothing, a central aspect of appearance-related practices, has not undergone exploration among Brazilian women. This evokes concern, due to the popularity of image consulting interventions (providing advice on clothing, style, and colour coordination), which could be potentially harmful, given the current lack of understanding regarding the impact of fashion clothing involvement on body image and mental health. Therefore, the present study aimed to explore these associations, whereby 710 Brazilian women (M age = 34.20, SD= 8.70) completed measures of fashion clothing involvement, self-objectification, body shame, disordered eating attitudes, self-esteem and acceptance of cosmetic surgery. Bivariate correlations revealed associations between higher fashion clothing involvement and higher self-objectification, higher acceptance of cosmetic surgery and higher self-esteem. Partial correlations, controlling for self-objectification, revealed higher fashion clothing involvement to be associated with higher self-esteem, lower body shame and lower disordered eating attitudes. Confounding testing suggested that the fashion clothing involvement negative associations may be partially explained by self-objectification. Overall, findings suggest that fashion clothing involvement may be positively or negatively associated with Brazilian women’s mental health, highlighting the need for future research to further elucidate this complex relationship.

巴西妇女承受着很大的外貌压力，这与危险的健康行为和不良后果有关。然而，对时尚服装的参与，这是与外表有关的实践的一个核心方面，还没有在巴西妇女中进行过探索。这引起了人们的关注，因为形象咨询干预（提供关于服装、风格和色彩协调的建议）的普及可能是有害的，因为目前人们对时尚服装对身体形象和心理健康的影响缺乏了解。因此，本研究旨在探讨这些关联，710名巴西女性（M年龄= 34.20，SD= 8.70）完成了时尚服装参与、自我物化、身体羞耻、饮食失调态度、自尊和接受整容手术的测量。双变量相关性揭示了较高的时尚服装参与度与较高的自我物化、较高的整容接受度和较高的自尊之间的关联。在不影响自我物化的情况下，部分相关研究显示，越喜欢穿时尚服装的人，自尊心越强，对身体的羞耻感越低，饮食失调的态度也越少。混杂测试表明，时尚服装的负面关联可以部分地用自我物化来解释。总体而言，研究结果表明，时尚服装的参与可能与巴西女性的心理健康呈正相关或负相关，这突出了未来研究进一步阐明这种复杂关系的必要性。
