“…For example, some studies established that the influence of the mother has more intense consequences on the development of body image among female adolescents, while in other studies, the influence of the father is found to be more important in development of body image 33 . Findings in our study are only partially in accordance with the mentioned results, since they point out that influence of the mother and the father on body image have equal contributions on body dissatisfaction among adolescents of both genders, i.e.…”

SUMMARYThe basic goal of this research was to evaluate sociocultural influence of parents on general body dissatisfaction among their adolescent children. The sample comprised (N = 228) of both male and female adolescents aged between 16-19 years. In this study, two measuring instruments were applied: Body image and body change inventory and the Perceived Sociocultural Influences on Body Image and Body Change Questionnaire. These instruments show internal consistency of high reliability, which makes them applicable to the Serbian population. According to results of the correlational analysis, there is a mild correlation between predictor variables (influence of mother and influence of father) and the criteria general body dissatisfaction. The applied hierarchical regression analysis showed that predictor variables explain 22% of the total variance of general body dissatisfaction. It was also established that variables (female gender, sociocultural influence of parents on body image and change in physical appearance) present significant predictors of overall body dissatisfaction in late adolescence. The majority of the obtained findings is in accordance with results from previous studies, and should provide directions for predicting body image and perceptive sociocultural contributions on body image, as well as designing programs of prevention regarding body dissatisfaction in adolescents of both genders.

“…Media has long been known to have an important negative influence on adolescents’ body attitudes and appearance-related concerns (Thompson & Stice, 2001), and greater consumption of media has been found to be associated with reports of elevations in DE among young adolescents (Holland & Tiggemann, 2016; Latzer, Spivak-Lavi, & Katz, 2015; Thompson et al, 1999; Tiggemann, 2011). For example, in a systematic review of 20 studies that examined associations between social networking and body dissatisfaction or DE (Holland & Tiggemann, 2016), significant cross-sectional and longitudinal associations were described for adolescents and young adults (5 of 20 with a longitudinal component; 8 of 20 included only adolescents; 6 of 20 examined gender differences).…”

Risk factors and temporal patterns of disordered eating differ in adolescent boys and girls: Testing gender-specific appearance anxiety models

et al. 2020

Adolescent dieting and disordered eating (DE) are risks for clinical eating disorders. In this five-wave longitudinal study, we tested gender-specific models linking early risk factors to temporal patterns of DE, considering appearance anxiety as a mediator. Participants were 384 Australian students (age 10 to 13; 45% boys) who reported their purging and skipping meals, experience with appearance-related teasing, media pressure, and appearance anxiety. Parents reported pubertal maturation and height/weight was measured. Gender differences in temporal patterns of DE were found and predictive models were tested using latent-variable growth curve and path models. Boys’ DE was generally stable over time; girls showed stability in purging but an average increase in skipping meals. Peer teasing, media pressure, and pubertal maturation were associated with more elevated initial DE in girls, and pubertal maturation was associated with a steeper increase in DE. For boys, body mass index had a direct positive association with DE. Appearance anxiety was associated with more DE, but there was only one significant indirect effect via anxiety, which was for boys’ pubertal maturation. Findings support the dominant role of social interactions and messages, as well as pubertal maturation, for girls’ DE and the prominence of physical risk factors for explaining boys’ DE.

“…Finally, the co-occurrence of ARPIU and Sub-ED was associated with greater depression than either risk behavior independently. While the nature of the relationship between Sub-ED and ARPIU is unclear with respect to etiology and temporal progression, recent evidence suggests that more time spent on the Internet, specifically on Facebook, is associated with greater eating-disorder pathology (Latzer, Spivak-Lavi, & Katz, 2015; Mabe, Forney & Keel, 2014). Therefore, future research should explore the type of Internet use (e.g., online gaming or social media) that is problematic, specifically among those with co-occurring ARPIU and Sub-ED.…”

Purpose At-risk/problematic Internet use (ARPIU) has been associated with impairment in multiple domains including psychopathology. The present study examined the relationship between ARPIU and disordered eating in a large community sample. Methods Participants (n=1000) completed an online survey about health behaviors. Two thresholds of ARPIU and disordered eating each were examined. Results The ARPIU and Sub-ED (subthreshold eating disorders) groups reported greater depressive symptoms and poorer self-control than the Control group; the Sub-ED group reported greater impulsivity than the Control group. The ARPIU and Sub-ED groups significantly differed in key features related to each condition. Finally, the co-occurrence of ARPIU and Sub-ED was associated with greater depression. In the second set of analyses based on more stringent thresholds, the Problematic Internet Use (PIU) and ED groups differed on all measures compared to the Control group. The PIU and ED groups also differed on key features related to each condition, but did not differ on measures of impulsivity or self-control. The co-occurrence of PIU and ED was associated with greater depressive symptoms than either PIU or ED independently. Conclusions ARPIU and Sub-ED share links to depression and poor self-control and these may represent possible therapeutic targets across Internet-use and disordered-eating behaviors. Co-occurring PIU and ED at either lenient or stringent thresholds is associated with greater depression. Future studies should examine the temporal nature of these associations and the extent to which targeting depression, Internet use, or disordered eating may lead to improvements across domains.
