Disordered eating behaviours and cognitions among pregnant and postpartum women are prevalent public health concerns which can adversely impact mothers, infants and families. While such issues are often linked with the sociocultural environment and interpersonal relationships, these factors are under-researched. The aim of this mixed-methods review was to identify social and interpersonal factors that may protect against or increase the risk of perinatal disordered eating and body image concerns. Following PRISMA reporting guidelines, a systematic search was conducted across MEDLINE, PsycINFO, ProQuest, Scopus, and CINAHL. Two independent reviewers screened articles and extracted data. Results were narratively synthesised. Thirty-six qualitative and quantitative studies were identified. Different sources (partners, friends, healthcare professionals) and dimensions (instrumental, informational, emotional) of social support were protective against symptoms. However, nuances emerged for women with an eating disorder history. Interpersonal abuse, appearance-related commentary and sociocultural pressure were factors associated with increased risk of symptoms. The findings highlight social and interpersonal factors which may perpetuate or mitigate perinatal eating and body image concerns in direct and indirect ways, thus providing insights for clinicians and families. In this way, the onus is shifted away from women, who are already tasked with adapting to the radical changes of entering motherhood, to partners and important others within their sociocultural environment who are well-placed to provide support.

孕妇和产后妇女饮食行为和认知失调是普遍存在的公共卫生问题，可能对母亲、婴儿和家庭产生不利影响。虽然这些问题往往与社会文化环境和人际关系有关，但这些因素的研究不足。这项混合方法综述的目的是确定可能防止或增加围产期饮食失调和身体形象问题风险的社会和人际因素。遵循PRISMA报告指南，在MEDLINE、PsycINFO、ProQuest、Scopus和CINAHL上进行了系统检索。两名独立审稿人筛选了文章并提取了数据。结果被叙述合成。确定了36项定性和定量研究。社会支持的不同来源（伴侣、朋友、保健专业人员）和维度（工具性、信息性、情绪性）对预防症状有保护作用。然而，有饮食失调史的女性出现了细微差别。人际虐待、外貌相关评论和社会文化压力是与症状风险增加相关的因素。研究结果强调了社会和人际因素可能以直接或间接的方式延续或减轻围产期饮食和身体形象问题，从而为临床医生和家庭提供了见解。这样，责任就从妇女身上转移了，她们的任务是适应进入母性的急剧变化，而在她们的社会文化环境中，伴侣和其他重要的人有能力提供支持。

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。

LGBTQIA+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, plus) individuals are at higher risk of adverse mental health outcomes than cisgender heterosexual (cishet) individuals due to experiences of minority stress. In the current study, we compared levels of appearance anxiety, depressive symptoms, body appreciation and self-esteem among LGBTQIA+ and cishet individuals. Further, among LGBTQIA+ individuals, we tested a hybrid theoretical model to examine the protective effects of body appreciation and self-esteem in the relationships between minority stress, appearance anxiety, and depression. A total of 581 participants (aged 16–65) completed demographic and psychometric measures, including the Minority Stress Measure, Body Appreciation Scale-2, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Physical Appearance State and Trait Anxiety Scale, and Beck Depression Inventory, via an online survey. Results confirmed that LGBTQIA+ individuals had poorer mental health outcomes than cishet participants, characterised by higher levels of depressive symptoms and appearance anxiety, and lower body appreciation and self-esteem. Further, our hybrid model showed that LGBTQIA+ individuals with lower body appreciation and self-esteem were particularly vulnerable to appearance anxiety and depression related to minority stress, whilst body appreciation reduced the impact of minority stress on depression. These findings may inform potential directions for interventions targeted towards LGBTQIA+ populations.

LGBTQIA+ （女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别者、酷儿/质疑者、双性人、无性恋者）个体由于少数群体压力的经历比顺性异性恋者（cishet）个体有更高的不良心理健康结果风险。在本研究中，我们比较了LGBTQIA+ 和cishet个体的外表焦虑、抑郁症状、身体欣赏和自尊水平。此外，在LGBTQIA+ 个体中，我们检验了一个混合理论模型，以检验身体欣赏和自尊在少数民族压力、外表焦虑和抑郁之间的关系中的保护作用。581名参与者（年龄16-65岁）通过在线调查完成了人口统计学和心理测量，包括少数民族压力测量、身体欣赏量表-2、罗森伯格自尊量表、外貌状态和特质焦虑量表以及贝克抑郁量表。结果证实，LGBTQIA+ 个体的心理健康状况比cishet参与者差，其特征是抑郁症状和外表焦虑水平更高，身体欣赏和自尊水平较低。此外，我们的混合模型显示，低身体欣赏和自尊的LGBTQIA+ 个体特别容易受到与少数民族压力相关的外表焦虑和抑郁，而身体欣赏降低了少数民族压力对抑郁的影响。这些发现可能为针对LGBTQIA+ 人群的干预提供潜在的方向。

Sexting is increasingly prevalent among young adults and has been linked to body dissatisfaction and disordered eating. However, its relationship with muscle dysmorphia symptoms remains unexplored. This study investigates the association between sexting behaviours and muscle dysmorphia symptomatology in a Canadian sample of young adults aged 18–30 (N = 878). Participants reported their sexting activities over the past 12 months and completed the Muscle Dysmorphic Disorder Inventory (MDDI) to assess muscle dysmorphia symptomatology. Multiple linear regression analyses revealed significant associations between receiving unsolicited photo and video sexts and greater overall muscle dysmorphia symptomatology. Sending photo sexts was also associated with greater total muscle dysmorphia symptoms, Drive for Size, and Functional Impairment. Sending video sexts, however, was associated with greater Drive for Size subscale scores only. Asking for photo sexts was associated with greater total muscle dysmorphia symptoms and Drive for Size, while asking for video sexts did not show any significant associations. None of the sexting behaviours studied were significantly associated with the Appearance Intolerance subscale. These findings suggest that sexting may be associated with muscularity-related body image concerns among young adults, potentially through sociocultural processes prevalent in digital contexts, such as exposure to idealized body norms, appearance-based social comparisons, and the pursuit of external validation via image-based body portrayals. This study contributes to the growing literature on the relationships between online engagement and body image, emphasizing the need for future research and targeted interventions to address the unique societal experiences of young adults in an increasingly technological world.

性短信在年轻人中越来越普遍，并与身体不满和饮食失调有关。然而，其与肌肉畸形症状的关系尚不清楚。本研究调查了加拿大18-30岁年轻人的性短信行为与肌肉畸形症状之间的关系（N = 878）。参与者报告了他们过去12个月的性短信活动，并完成了肌肉畸形障碍量表（MDDI），以评估肌肉畸形的症状。多元线性回归分析显示，收到未经请求的照片和视频色情短信与更大的整体肌肉畸形症状之间存在显著关联。发送照片短信也与更大的肌肉畸形症状、体型驱动和功能障碍有关。然而，发送视频色情短信只与更大的尺寸驱动子量表得分有关。索要照片色情短信与更大的肌肉畸形症状和体型驱动有关，而索要视频色情短信则没有显示出任何显著的关联。所研究的性短信行为中，没有一项与“外貌不耐受”分量表有显著关联。这些发现表明，性短信可能与年轻人对肌肉相关的身体形象的担忧有关，这可能是通过数字环境中普遍存在的社会文化过程产生的，例如暴露于理想化的身体规范、基于外表的社会比较，以及通过基于图像的身体描绘追求外部验证。这项研究为越来越多的关于在线参与与身体形象之间关系的文献做出了贡献，强调了未来研究和有针对性的干预措施的必要性，以解决日益科技化的世界中年轻人独特的社会体验。

We assessed the bidirectional relationship between body comparisons (BC) with body dissatisfaction (BD) and disordered eating (DE) urges in daily life. A secondary aim was to assess whether these effects were moderated by BC context (e.g., in person, social media, traditional media) and gender. Undergraduate men and women (n = 521, 76.0 % female-identifying) completed baseline measures and a 7-day ecological momentary assessment (EMA) reporting BC (frequency, direction and context), BD levels, and DE urges including food restriction, exercising and overeating. Data (collected 2020 – 2022) were statistically controlled for potential COVID lockdown effects. Multilevel analyses revealed a bidirectional relationship between upward BC and BD, suggesting a reinforcing cycle. Downward BC predicted a decrease in BD, but during moments of heightened state BD, individuals were less likely to engage in downward BC. Urge to engage in compensatory exercise significantly predicted subsequent engagement in upward BC, but none of the remaining relationships between BC and DE urges were significant, suggesting other factors may play a more central role in these relationships. The effect of upward BC on BD were more pronounced in person and via other contexts than on social media, potentially due to increased awareness of digital image manipulation. Gender did not moderate these relationships, highlighting shared psychological processes across men and women. These findings underscore the context-dependent nature of BC in body image concerns. Future research could investigate whether strategies developed to promote media literacy on social media can be adapted to help individuals manage in-person or other real-world comparisons.

我们评估了日常生活中身体比较（BC）与身体不满意（BD）和饮食失调（DE）冲动之间的双向关系。第二个目的是评估这些影响是否受到BC环境（例如，面对面、社交媒体、传统媒体）和性别的调节。本科生男女（n = 521,76.0 %为女性）完成了基线测量和7天生态瞬时评估（EMA），报告BC（频率、方向和背景）、BD水平和DE冲动，包括食物限制、运动和暴饮暴食。数据（收集于2020 - 2022年）对潜在的COVID封锁效应进行了统计控制。多水平分析显示，BC升高与BD之间存在双向关系，提示存在强化循环。BC下降预示着BD的下降，但在BD升高的时刻，个体不太可能进行BC下降。参与代偿性运动的冲动显著地预测了随后向上BC的参与，但BC和DE冲动之间的其他关系都不显著，这表明其他因素可能在这些关系中起着更重要的作用。与社交媒体相比，BC升高对BD的影响在个人和其他环境中更为明显，这可能是由于人们对数字图像处理的认识增加。性别并没有调节这些关系，强调了男性和女性共同的心理过程。这些发现强调了BC在身体形象方面的语境依赖性。未来的研究可能会调查，在社交媒体上促进媒体素养的策略是否可以适用于帮助个人管理面对面或其他现实世界的比较。

Genital body image or genital self-image encompasses an individual’s attitudes, feelings, and behaviours surrounding their own genitals. Despite the crucial importance of genitals in propagating the human species, genital body image remains a highly understudied concept in broader body image research. Nevertheless, the existing literature suggests a sizeable percentage of people across the gender spectrum experience dissatisfaction with their genital size, shape and/or form. This paper provides a brief summary of the existing genital body image research, focusing on sociocultural factors of influence such as media representations of genital ideals and peer and partner commentaries on genitals, as well as the impacts of genital body image concerns such as poorer sexual and psychological well-being and consideration of cosmetic genital procedures and surgeries. This paper additionally discusses current educational interventions and programs which aim to promote a positive genital body image. The paper also identifies gaps in current research and important suggestions for future research including greater inclusivity of gender, sexual orientation and ethnic diversity, given often radically different perspectives on genital body image, as well as recognition of the rapidly changing landscape of genital representations in media such as amateur pornography and pornographic content on OnlyFans. The paper concludes with recommendations for the inclusion of genital body image content in existing body image programs and other genital body image intervention needs. We hope that this discussion results in greater recognition of the concept of genital body image and prompts the establishment of new collaborations and initiatives.

生殖器身体形象或生殖器自我形象包括一个人对自己生殖器的态度、感受和行为。尽管生殖器官在人类物种繁殖中具有至关重要的作用，但在更广泛的身体形象研究中，生殖器身体形象仍然是一个高度未被充分研究的概念。然而，现有的文献表明，在性别范围内，相当大比例的人对自己生殖器的大小、形状和/或形式感到不满。本文简要总结了现有的生殖器身体形象研究，重点关注社会文化因素的影响，如媒体对生殖器理想的表现和同伴和伴侣对生殖器的评论，以及生殖器身体形象问题的影响，如较差的性和心理健康以及对生殖器美容手术和手术的考虑。本文还讨论了目前旨在促进积极的生殖器身体形象的教育干预和计划。这篇论文还指出了当前研究中的差距和对未来研究的重要建议，包括性别、性取向和种族多样性的更大包容性，考虑到对生殖器身体形象的经常完全不同的观点，以及对媒体中生殖器表现的快速变化的认识，如业余色情和OnlyFans上的色情内容。本文最后提出了将生殖器身体形象内容纳入现有身体形象计划和其他生殖器身体形象干预需求的建议。我们希望这次讨论能使人们更加认识到生殖器身体形象的概念，并促使建立新的合作和倡议。

The paper also identifies gaps in current research and important suggestions for future research including greater inclusivity of gender, sexual orientation and ethnic diversity, given often radically different perspectives on genital body image, as well as recognition of the rapidly changing landscape of genital representations in media such as amateur pornography and pornographic content on OnlyFans. The paper concludes with recommendations for the inclusion of genital body image content in existing body image programs and other genital body image intervention needs. We hope that this discussion results in greater recognition of the concept of genital body image and prompts the establishment of new collaborations and initiatives.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48312,"journal":{"name":"Body Image","volume":"54 ","pages":"Article 101929"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144338273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Psychosocial conditions at work play a key role in physical and mental health. Despite evidence of a relationship with these conditions and their outcomes, body image has been largely absent from workplace well-being research. The current study drew from the Job Demands-Resources Model to address this gap by conceptualising body appreciation, a component of positive body image, as a personal resource connecting focal job demands and job resources with workplace well-being. A total of N = 402 working adults aged 20–65 years (49 % Women) from the United Kingdom were recruited via Prolific to complete an online cross-sectional survey. Greater emotional demands and lower manager support were associated with lower body appreciation which, in turn, was associated with greater burnout, and poorer work engagement and job satisfaction. No gender differences were observed in these relationships, nor associations between quantitative or cognitive demands, or colleague support, and body appreciation. The study underlines the need for a greater focus on body image in employee well-being. Future research would benefit from prospective designs accounting for the complex interrelationships between a range of body image indicators, body-related demands and resources, and influences at the team and organisational-level.

工作场所的社会心理状况对身心健康起着关键作用。尽管有证据表明身体形象与这些状况及其结果有关，但在工作场所幸福感研究中，身体形象在很大程度上是缺失的。目前的研究借鉴了工作需求-资源模型，通过将身体欣赏（积极身体形象的一个组成部分）概念化，作为连接焦点工作需求和工作资源与工作场所幸福感的个人资源，来解决这一差距。通过多产公司从英国招募了总共N = 402名年龄在20-65岁之间的在职成年人（其中49 %为女性）来完成一项在线横断面调查。较高的情感需求和较低的管理者支持与较低的身体欣赏度相关，这反过来又与较高的倦怠、较差的工作投入和工作满意度相关。在这些关系中没有观察到性别差异，也没有定量或认知需求、同事支持和身体欣赏之间的联系。这项研究强调了在员工幸福感方面，有必要更加关注身体形象。未来的研究将受益于前瞻性设计，考虑到一系列身体形象指标、身体相关需求和资源以及团队和组织层面的影响之间复杂的相互关系。

Body image concerns are prevalent among trans men, yet research has primarily focused on appearance-based dissatisfaction rather than alternative frameworks. There is also limited research directly and purposefully exploring the experiences of trans men. This qualitative study explored how trans men navigate body image, gender congruence, and quality of life, using reflexive thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews with 20 participants from seven Global North countries. Findings highlight how societal masculinity norms initially reinforced body dissatisfaction and gender incongruence, leading participants to internalise rigid body ideals. However, over time, many redefined masculinity in ways that prioritised authenticity and self-acceptance, particularly through medical transition. Gender-affirming care played a key role in reducing distress associated with gender incongruence, enabling trans men to disengage from unrealistic body ideals. Many participants described a shift towards body neutrality and functionality appreciation, reframing their relationship with their bodies by focusing on what they could do rather than how they looked. These findings suggest that body image interventions and gender-affirming care may benefit from integrating approaches beyond appearance-based frameworks. Given the novelty of functionality appreciation and body neutrality in trans men’s body image research, future studies should explore their role in psychosocial well-being and long-term adjustment.

对身体形象的担忧在跨性别男性中很普遍，然而研究主要集中在基于外表的不满上，而不是其他框架。也有有限的研究直接和有目的地探索跨性别男性的经历。本定性研究探讨了跨性别男性如何驾驭身体形象、性别一致性和生活质量，采用反身性主题分析，对来自七个全球北方国家的20名参与者进行了半结构化访谈。研究结果强调了社会男性规范最初是如何强化对身体的不满和性别不一致的，导致参与者内化了严格的身体理想。然而，随着时间的推移，许多人重新定义了男性气概，以优先考虑真实性和自我接受的方式，特别是通过医疗转型。性别确认护理在减少与性别不一致相关的痛苦方面发挥了关键作用，使跨性别男性能够摆脱不切实际的身体理想。许多参与者描述了他们向身体中立和功能欣赏的转变，通过关注他们能做什么而不是他们的外表来重新构建他们与身体的关系。这些发现表明，身体形象干预和性别肯定护理可能受益于整合基于外表的框架之外的方法。鉴于功能欣赏和身体中性在跨性别男性身体形象研究中的新颖性，未来的研究应探讨其在心理社会健康和长期适应中的作用。

Eating disorders are highly prevalent and often present during adolescence and emerging adulthood. Effective early intervention as problems emerge, such as dieting and elevated weight concern, can prevent long-term chronicity. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of single session interventions (SSIs) for early intervention, delivered via a smartphone app and with consumer consultation, that are focused on transdiagnostic psychological processes implicated in the development and maintenance of eating disorders. App content is informed by previous work in defining transdiagnostic psychological processes and a subsequent Delphi study that presented the list of processes to relevant stakeholders to achieve consensus on those processes most important for early intervention. The first phase of this project will include engagement with young people and members of our Expert Advisory Group (people with lived experience, significant others, and clinicians and researchers specialising in eating disorders) to inform nine SSIs, presented on a smartphone app. The second phase will entail a pilot randomised controlled trial of the nine SSIs and a waitlist control condition to evaluate the effectiveness, feasibility, and acceptability of the SSIs for the early intervention of eating disorders for young people aged 14–25 years old with elevated weight concern. The primary outcomes are acceptability and feasibility, and global eating disorder psychopathology. Secondary outcomes include mental health outcomes (depression, anxiety, self-harm) and SSI-specific outcomes (for example, perfectionism). Assessment will occur at baseline, post-treatment, and at a one-month follow-up. Analyses will use linear mixed modelling and reflexive thematic analysis for qualitative feedback items.

饮食失调非常普遍，经常出现在青春期和成年初期。在问题出现时进行有效的早期干预，如节食和体重增加，可以预防长期的慢性疾病。本研究旨在评估单次干预（ssi）的可行性和可接受性，通过智能手机应用程序和消费者咨询提供早期干预，重点关注与饮食失调发展和维持有关的跨诊断心理过程。App的内容来自于之前定义跨诊断心理过程的工作，以及随后的德尔福研究，该研究向相关利益相关者展示了一系列过程，以达成对早期干预最重要的过程的共识。该项目的第一阶段将包括与年轻人和我们的专家咨询小组成员（有生活经验的人、重要他人、专门研究饮食失调的临床医生和研究人员）接触，告知9个ssi，并在智能手机应用程序上展示。第二阶段将包括9个ssi的试点随机对照试验和候补控制条件，以评估有效性、可行性、以及ssi对14-25岁体重升高的年轻人饮食失调早期干预的可接受性。主要结果是可接受性和可行性，以及全球饮食失调精神病理。次要结果包括心理健康结果（抑郁、焦虑、自残）和特定于ssi的结果（例如，完美主义）。评估将在基线、治疗后和1个月随访时进行。分析将使用线性混合模型和反身性专题分析对定性反馈项目。
