This study qualitatively explored the processes by which Black womxn yoga practitioners (BWYPs) cultivate positive embodiment through their yoga practice. Embodiment in this study referred to the physical and lived experience of the body, shaped by Black feminisms. Participants were N = 30 Black womxn who were short- (≤ five years; n = 11), medium- (five–10 years; n = 10), and long-term (>11 years; n = 9) yoga practitioners. Participants completed individual interviews as part of the Embodied Sexual Health Study – a Black feminist project examining embodiment, sexual health, and yoga among BWYPs in the United States. Data were analyzed using critical-constructivist grounded theory informed by Black feminist qualitative inquiry. Results comprised two categories: “Ever evolving”: Nature of embodiment through yoga and “Finding flow in my body”: Dimensions of embodiment through yoga. The nature of embodiment through yoga outlined the four properties of embodiment for participants: (1) yoga-centered awareness of embodiment, (2) yoga-facilitated access to and aspiration for embodiment, (3) engaging embodiment using yoga, and (4) evolving and refining embodiment with yoga. Dimensions of Embodiment identified five interconnected aspects of embodiment experienced during and outside of a yoga practice: (1) wholistic communion, (2) body harmony, (3) body comfort and safety, (4) body attunement, and (5) body responsiveness. Implications for research and practice centering Black womxn, yoga, and embodiment are discussed.

本研究定性地探讨了黑人女性瑜伽练习者（bwyp）通过瑜伽练习培养积极体现的过程。在这项研究中，化身指的是由黑人女权主义塑造的身体的物理和生活体验。参与者是N = 30名黑人女性，她们是短期（≤5年；N = 11）、中期（5 -10年；N = 10）和长期（>11年；N = 9）瑜伽练习者。参与者完成了个人访谈，作为具体化性健康研究的一部分。具体化性健康研究是一个黑人女权主义项目，在美国的bwyp中研究具体化、性健康和瑜伽。数据分析采用了以黑人女性主义定性调查为基础的批判建构主义理论。结果包括两类：“不断进化”：通过瑜伽体现的本质和“在我的身体中找到流动”：通过瑜伽体现的维度。通过瑜伽的体现的本质为参与者概述了体现的四个属性：(1)以瑜伽为中心的体现意识，(2)瑜伽促进了对体现的获取和渴望，(3)用瑜伽参与体现，(4)用瑜伽进化和完善体现。体现的维度确定了在瑜伽练习期间和之外体验的体现的五个相互关联的方面：(1)整体交流，(2)身体和谐，(3)身体舒适和安全，(4)身体调谐，(5)身体反应。以黑人女性、瑜伽和化身为中心的研究和实践的意义进行了讨论。

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。

Is self-objectification still a gendered experience in contemporary societies? To address this question, we conducted a three-level meta-analysis of 158 effect sizes from 78 studies involving 74,216 participants across 16 countries. Results revealed a robust gender difference (d = 0.35), with women consistently reporting higher self-objectification than men. This difference was significantly moderated by both measurement type and societal gender equality. Body surveillance measures yielded the largest gender gaps, and—paradoxically—gender differences were more pronounced in countries with higher gender equality, supporting the gender-equality paradox. Conversely, cultural orientation (collectivism), sample age, and publication year did not significantly moderate the effect in multivariate models. These findings suggest that self-objectification remains deeply gendered—and that sociocultural progress may, in some contexts, amplify rather than reduce appearance-based disparities. We highlight the need for more gender-sensitive measurement tools and culturally grounded theoretical frameworks to better understand how self-objectification operates across diverse social environments.

在当代社会，自我物化仍然是一种性别化的体验吗？为了解决这个问题，我们对来自16个国家的78项研究的158个效应量进行了三水平的荟萃分析，涉及74,216名参与者。结果显示了明显的性别差异（d = 0.35），女性的自我物化程度始终高于男性。这种差异被测量类型和社会性别平等显著地缓和。身体监测措施产生了最大的性别差距，而且矛盾的是，性别差异在性别平等程度较高的国家更为明显，这支持了性别平等悖论。相反，文化取向（集体主义）、样本年龄和出版年份在多变量模型中没有显著调节效应。这些发现表明，自我物化在很大程度上仍然存在性别差异——在某些情况下，社会文化的进步可能会扩大而不是减少基于外貌的差异。我们强调需要更多对性别敏感的测量工具和基于文化的理论框架，以更好地理解自我物化如何在不同的社会环境中运作。

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。

Body positivity is a movement that promotes acceptance and appreciation of all body types. While previous research has explored the role of different model body types in promoting body positivity, there is no clear consensus on whether average-sized or plus-sized models would generate more positive outcomes. Moreover, most studies have focused on Western populations, leaving a gap in understanding within non-Western contexts. Average-sized models are often associated with assimilation effects, whereas plus-sized models are linked to downward comparison effects. Firstly, this study compared the influence of average-sized versus plus-sized models on body appreciation. Secondly, it also investigated how content focus—either aesthetic or functionality-based—influences body appreciation, and whether body size and content focus interact. Finally, the study explored the moderating role of self-esteem in shaping women's responses to model body size and content focus. Based on a 2 (average vs. plus-sized model) × 2 (aesthetic vs. functionality-focused content) experiment with 354 Chinese women (M_age = 31.68, M_BMI = 21.46), the findings showed that plus-sized models led to higher levels of body appreciation. Although content focus alone did not yield significant differences, an interaction effect emerged: plus-sized models paired with aesthetic-focused content led to greater body appreciation than the same content presented with average-sized models. Additionally, the study revealed a moderating effect of self-esteem on women's preferences for models and content. Women with high self-esteem preferred average-sized models and aesthetic-focused content, while those with low self-esteem favored plus-sized models and functionality-focused content. These findings have practical implications for promoting positive body image among women.

身体积极是一种促进接受和欣赏所有体型的运动。虽然之前的研究已经探讨了不同体型的模特在促进身体积极性方面的作用，但对于中等身材的模特和大身材的模特是否会产生更积极的结果，并没有明确的共识。此外，大多数研究都集中在西方人群身上，在非西方背景下的理解上留下了空白。平均尺寸模型通常与同化效应有关，而大尺寸模型则与向下比较效应有关。首先，本研究比较了中码模特和大码模特对身体欣赏的影响。其次，它还调查了内容焦点（无论是基于审美还是基于功能）如何影响身体欣赏，以及身体大小和内容焦点是否相互作用。最后，本研究探讨了自尊在塑造女性对模特身材和内容焦点的反应中的调节作用。基于对354名中国女性（Mage = 31.68, MBMI = 21.46）进行的2（平均与大码模特）× 2（审美与功能重点内容）实验，研究结果表明，大码模特对身体的欣赏程度更高。虽然内容关注本身并没有产生显著的差异，但一种交互效应出现了：大码模特搭配以审美为重点的内容，比同样的内容搭配中等身材的模特，会带来更大的身体欣赏。此外，该研究还揭示了自尊对女性对模特和内容的偏好有调节作用。高自尊的女性更喜欢中等身材的模特和以审美为重点的内容，而低自尊的女性更喜欢大身材的模特和以功能为重点的内容。这些发现对于促进女性积极的身体形象具有实际意义。

Reframing the reflection: Can body positive videos boost body satisfaction? 重构反思：身体正面视频能提高身体满意度吗？

As social media continues to promote unrealistic beauty standards, the body positive movement has gained prominence, promoting acceptance of diverse body types. This study investigated the effectiveness of body positive short-form videos in increasing body satisfaction. Specifically, it was hypothesised that viewing body positive short-form videos would lead to a significant increase in body satisfaction (H1), and that this increase would significantly differ between genders (H2). Additionally, it was hypothesised that levels of trait physical appearance comparison would significantly influence the effectiveness of these videos in improving body satisfaction (H3). To investigate these hypotheses, the present study employed a single-group pretest-posttest design with 135 participants aged 18–29 years (44 men, M age = 24.8; 91 women, M age = 24.8). Participants watched 7.5 min of body-positive short-form videos, with body satisfaction assessed pre- and post-exposure and trait appearance comparison measured at baseline. A robust mixed-design ANOVA was used to test H1 and H2, revealing a significant increase in body satisfaction after viewing body positive videos, with no significant difference between genders. A one-way ANCOVA tested H3, indicating that physical appearance comparison levels did not influence the effectiveness of body positive videos in increasing body satisfaction. The findings of this study highlight the potential of body positive short-form videos as an easily accessible intervention for increasing body satisfaction and challenges the applicability of appearance comparisons within this context, however, the lack of a control group limits causal inferences about the specific effects of body-positive content.

随着社交媒体继续宣扬不切实际的审美标准，身体积极运动得到了重视，促进了对不同体型的接受。本研究探讨身体正面短视频对提高身体满意度的效果。具体来说，我们假设观看身体正面短视频会导致身体满意度显著增加（H1），并且这种增加在性别之间存在显著差异（H2）。此外，据推测，特质外表比较的水平会显著影响这些视频在提高身体满意度方面的有效性（H3）。为了验证这些假设，本研究采用单组前测后测设计，共有135名年龄在18-29岁的参与者（44名男性，M年龄= 24.8；91名女性，M年龄= 24.8）。参与者观看了7.5 分钟的身体阳性短视频，并评估了暴露前后的身体满意度，并在基线上测量了特征外观比较。采用稳健混合设计方差分析对H1和H2进行检验，发现观看身体积极视频后，身体满意度显著增加，性别间无显著差异。单向ANCOVA测试H3，表明身体外观比较水平不影响身体正面视频提高身体满意度的有效性。本研究的结果强调了身体正面短视频作为提高身体满意度的一种容易获得的干预措施的潜力，并挑战了在这种情况下外观比较的适用性，然而，缺乏对照组限制了对身体正面内容具体效果的因果推断。

This mixed methods study examined experience of embodiment in individuals with trauma. The participants, 201 women, 13 men, and 24 gender minorities (M_age = 37.68, SD = 10.74) with trauma, completed an online questionnaire that included measures of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, experience of embodiment, and an open-ended question asking them to describe their relationship with their bodies. Quantitative findings indicated a positive association between PTSD symptoms and negative experience of embodiment. Multiple regression analyses were conducted among the women sample only, with results indicating PTSD symptoms of negative alterations in cognitions and mood as unique predictors of experience of embodiment. The qualitative findings further described the participants’ relationships with their bodies through five themes: (I) The body is a place of pain, discomfort, and dissatisfaction; (II) The body and the self are separate; (III) Difficulties with the gaze of others; (IV) The trauma is in the body; and (V) Self-care, acceptance, and positive experiences of the body. We conclude that individuals with trauma report a breadth of disruptions in the way that they inhabit their bodies, yet they also attempt to foster positive embodiment, for example through attuned physical activities. Our findings suggest that clinical practice among individuals with experience(s) of trauma should address how they process and experience negative feelings in and toward their bodies.

这个混合方法的研究检验了创伤个体的化身体验。201名女性、13名男性和24名有创伤的少数性别（Mage = 37.68, SD = 10.74）的参与者完成了一份在线问卷，其中包括创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）症状的测量，化身体验，以及一个要求他们描述他们与自己身体关系的开放式问题。定量结果显示PTSD症状与负性身具体验呈正相关。多元回归分析仅在女性样本中进行，结果表明PTSD症状的认知和情绪的负面改变是体现体验的独特预测因素。定性研究结果通过五个主题进一步描述了参与者与身体的关系：(1)身体是痛苦、不适和不满的地方；（二）身体与自我是分离的；（三）难以接受他人的目光；（四）创伤在体内；（五）自我照顾、接纳和对身体的积极体验。我们得出的结论是，有创伤的人报告说，他们在居住自己身体的方式上有广泛的破坏，但他们也试图培养积极的化身，例如通过协调的身体活动。我们的研究结果表明，有创伤经历的个体的临床实践应该解决他们如何处理和体验对他们身体的负面情绪。

Eating disorders (EDs) are complex mental health conditions that are impacted by inequity and oppression, underscoring an urgency to examine EDs through a social-justice oriented framework. A primary component across ED diagnoses is body dissatisfaction. This study explored the prevalence of oppression-related variables (ORVs), including systems of oppression (e.g., cissexism, heterosexism, racism, classism, food insecurity, ableism) and biases (e.g., anti-fat bias, weight stigma), in EDs through cross sectional self-report questionnaires and longitudinal ecological momentary assessment (EMA) data collected over a two week period. Participants with ED symptoms completed self-report questionnaires (N = 63; 76.2 % White, 85.7 % female; 58.7 % heterosexual) assessing experiences of oppression. They also completed EMA surveys (N = 51) delivered five times per day for 15 days that captured the frequency of and stress arising from daily experiences of ORVs, including both directly experienced and witnessed instances of oppression. An EMA item assessing body dissatisfaction was included in these surveys. Cross-sectional findings showed that participants reported moderate and low-to-moderate levels of ORVs. Longitudinal EMA data revealed that anti-fat discrimination was the most frequently endorsed ORV and caused the greatest distress, followed closely by weight stigma. Repeated measures correlations indicated significant positive associations between body dissatisfaction and both ableism and weight stigma. ORVs may provide valuable insights into ED development and maintenance. Initial findings highlight the significance of discriminatory experiences, particularly weight-based discrimination, to EDs and the core ED symptom of body dissatisfaction. More inclusive research and interventions that address systemic oppression in the context of EDs is needed.

饮食失调（EDs）是一种复杂的精神健康状况，受到不平等和压迫的影响，强调了通过面向社会正义的框架来检查EDs的紧迫性。ED诊断的一个主要因素是对身体不满意。本研究通过横断面自我报告问卷和两周内收集的纵向生态瞬时评估（EMA）数据，探讨了ed中与压迫相关的变量（orv）的流行情况，包括压迫系统（如自恋主义、异性恋主义、种族主义、阶级主义、食品不安全、残疾主义）和偏见（如反肥胖偏见、体重歧视）。有ED症状的参与者完成了自我报告问卷（N = 63；白人占76.2 %，女性占85.7 %；异性恋占58.7 %）评估压迫经历。他们还完成了EMA调查（N = 51），每天进行5次，持续15天，记录了orv日常经历的频率和压力，包括直接经历和目睹的压迫实例。这些调查包括一个评估身体不满意程度的EMA项目。横断面研究结果显示，参与者报告了中度和低至中度的orv水平。纵向EMA数据显示，反脂肪歧视是最常被认可的ORV，造成最大的痛苦，紧随其后的是体重耻辱。重复测量相关性表明，身体不满与残疾歧视和体重歧视之间存在显著的正相关。orv可以为ED的开发和维护提供有价值的见解。初步研究结果强调了歧视经历，特别是基于体重的歧视，对ED和ED的核心症状身体不满的重要性。需要更具包容性的研究和干预措施，以解决ed背景下的系统性压迫问题。

Body image concerns and eating disorders (EDs) occur frequently within transgender and gender diverse (TGD) people. This paper provides a detailed overview of the methodology of a larger project that provides an updated critical synthesis of body image concerns and EDs in TGD people. A review was conducted with the goal of answering specific questions (1) the existence of differences in rates of body image concerns and eating disorder symptoms between TGD individuals and their cisgender counterparts, as well as variation within TGD subgroups/populations; (2) the effects/correlates of gender affirming care on body image concerns and eating disorder symptoms of TGD people; and (3) correlates of body image concerns and eating disorder symptoms among TGD people. Following PRISMA guidelines, four databases were searched yielding 403 studies after independent screening, of which, 152 were retained and included in the reviews, including 60 pertaining to groups differences in body image concerns and eating disorder symptoms, 65 pertaining to the effects of gender affirming care, and 78 with information regarding the correlates of body image concerns and eating disorder symptoms among TGD people. The findings from this review will be useful to summarize the current state of the field and identify important future directions.
