“…In addition to the perceived pressure for thinness also the fact that these girls more often had a dieting friend might influence their own behaviour, by way of modelling dieting behaviour and contribute to eating problems. In interventions for eating problems it is important to address negative aspects of peer relationships and beliefs about the importance of thinness in the peer environment (Schutz & Paxton, 2007). There were no differences in self-reported physical activity or television viewing between girls who reported a 'wish to be thinner' and 'don't wish to be thinner'.…”

The aim of this 5-year longitudinal study of 593 girls (9-20-year-old) was to examine whether the internalization of the thinness ideal in terms of 'a wish to be thinner' might be related to lifestyle factors and longitudinally increase the risk of disturbed eating over time. Results showed that a wish to be thinner was related to lifestyle factors, eating attitudes and body mass index (BMI) longitudinally. Girls who wished to be thinner dieted more often, thought that they would be more popular if they were thinner, skipped meals, were eating breakfast more often alone and had a higher BMI compared to the girls without such a wish. Girls who wished to be thinner were 4 times more likely to develop disturbed eating attitudes over a 5-year period. These findings point to the importance of helping adolescents to establish regular eating habits, to avoid unhealthy dieting practices and to prevent sedentary behaviours that might lead to overweight and or obesity in early childhood.

“…There is also increasing evidence that sociocultural norms in terms of desirable physical attributes, as well as their transmission through parents, peers, and media through communication, pressure, or teasing, negatively influence BI levels and trajectories in adolescence (McCabe & Ricciardelli, 2003Rodgers et al, 2016;Schutz & Paxton, 2007;Stice & Whitenton, 2002). A major limitation of many of these studies is their focus on "negative" predictors, or rather, on predictors associated with decreases in BI levels (or increases in body dissatisfaction).…”

The self-equilibrium hypothesis underlines the importance of having a strong core self, which is defined as a high and developmentally stable self-concept. This study tested this hypothesis in relation to body image (BI) trajectories in a sample of 1,006 adolescents (Mage = 12.6, including 541 males and 465 females) across a 4-year period. The results supported the self-equilibrium hypothesis among 3 profiles of adolescents, all characterized by matching BI levels and stability: (a) High (48.0%); (b) Increasing (34.1%); and (c) Decreasing (17.9%). Boys presented higher levels of BI, and the quality of relationships with peers and parents predicted initially more desirable trajectories across gender. By the end of the study, more positive academic outcomes were associated with the Decreasing profile, lower internalizing problems with the High profile, and lower externalizing problems with the High and the Increasing profiles.

Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati relativan doprinos rizičnih čimbenika iz različitih domena (odnosi u obitelji i s vršnjacima te osjećaj pripadnosti školi) u objašnjavanju eksternaliziranih ponašanja (agresivnoga i rizičnoga spolnog ponašanja) i odstupajućih navika hranjenja mladića (n=429) i djevojaka (n=307) iz opće populacije između 15 i 20 godina. Kako bi se ispitala prediktivna snaga ispitivanih varijabli za predviđanje eksternaliziranih ponašanja i odstupajućih navika hranjenja kao kriterijskih varijabli, proveden je niz hijerarhijskih regresijskih analiza. Općenito, kvaliteta odnosa s vršnjacima i osjećaj pripadnosti školi pokazali su se negativnim prediktorima agresivnoga ponašanja i pozitivnim prediktorima odstupajućih navika hranjenja. Nadalje, mladi s boljim školskim uspjehom rjeđe su izvještavali o rizičnom spolnom ponašanju, ali su češće navodili simptome odstupajućih navika hranjenja. Učinak kvalitete odnosa s obitelji na eksternalizirana ponašanja i odstupajuće navike hranjenja posredovan je kvalitetom odnosa s vršnjacima. Nisu utvrđene spolne razlike u rizičnim čimbenicima za različita ponašanja.Ključne riječi: eksternalizirana ponašanja, odstupajuće navike hranjenja, odnosi s vršnjacima, osjećaj pripadnosti školi, rizični čimbenici

Friendship quality, body dissatisfaction, dieting and disordered eating in adolescent girls

Abstract: Results suggest the importance of addressing negative aspects of peer relationships, social anxieties and beliefs about the importance of thinness in the peer environment as well as depressive symptoms, in interventions for body dissatisfaction and eating problems.
