“…Self-esteem is intertwined with evaluations of individuals regarding their weight, shape, and size (Wilksch and Wade, 2004), and weightreducing practices are often utilized to modulate self-esteem (Surgenor et al, 2007). Along the same lines as self-esteem, self-efficacy in individuals with eating disorders has been shown to be associated with a positive view of their body image, lower rates of eating psychopathology (Kinsaul et al, 2014;Macneil et al, 2012), and enhanced ability to manage with body image and eating difficulties in treatment (Pinto et al, 2006). The influence of perceived public stigma and internalized stigma on self-esteem and self-efficacy is likely to increase when individuals make the decision to enter an intensive program to recover.…”

Self-stigma in individuals with anorexia nervosa (AN) may affect engagement in intensive treatment. The objective of this study was to test a Model of Self-Stigma to identify the influence of public stigma, internalized stigma, self-esteem, and self-efficacy on recovery attitudes in individuals in inpatient treatment for AN. Using a cross-sectional design, 36 female participants with AN completed questionnaires during the first week of intensive inpatient treatment. Better attitude towards recovery was positively correlated with higher self-esteem and self-efficacy and negatively correlated with greater internalized stigma and perceptions of others devaluing families of individuals with AN. Together, these factors accounted for 63% of the variance in recovery attitudes. Findings demonstrate the adverse effects perceived stigma towards families, self-stigma, and self-esteem have on recovery attitudes in individuals with AN. Clinical interventions are needed to challenge internalized stigma and bolster self-esteem to enhance individuals' recovery efforts.

“…The rise in media across the globe has significantly contributed towards the development of women objectification and body image development (Kinsaul, Curtin, Bazzini, & Martz, 2014;Weidhase, 2015). From a feministic view point, body image of women is perceived as ideal in its real condition.…”

“…Feminism and body image are constructed on the concept of self-branding which is something known as important for the development of distinctive public images (Marwick, 2010). In specific, decades of investigation and research about the feminism and women's body image portrayal in media has documented considerable amount of negative impacts and influences (Kinsaul, Curtin, Bazzini, & Martz, 2014;Weidhase, 2015). Traditionally, media images portray women in a way in line with male's expectations such as sexuality.…”

The aim of the research was to explore the ways that female body image was presented and interpreted on Instagram. Specifically, it aimed to identify how women disseminate their body image on Instagram, examine how viewers respond to women's body image disseminated on Instagram and determine how the women's body image presentation on Instagram influences the viewers' self-perceptions and behavior. To achieve the goal, content analysis was used. The data set consisted of 140 photographs that were collected from hashtags. It was found that body images presented in Instagram highlighted sexuality and attractiveness by emphasizing slim body, long hair, with fewer clothing, followed by photographs communicating business purposes and communicating the ideal body, but only a few photos challenged the majority by creating totally different images, such as women's lifting heavy weights or doing something adventure and wearing a bikini at a larger size. As for the viewers' responses, it was found that most viewers positively respond to body image photographs in Instagram, appreciating wonderful and ideal body image and admiring the transformation. In addition, it was found that many comments show that the viewers are dissatisfied with themselves after comparing their body images with ideal body images. This further suggested self-objectification. As for influence, it was found that the women's body images communicated on Instagram influence the viewers significantly in the following aspects: 1) arousing consciousness and inspiration so as to encourage them to make changes; 2) triggering self-objectification; 3) inspiring use of a new perspective to perceive and expect the body image. The research, nevertheless, was limited in sampling which reduced generalizability of findings.
