“…Swedish participants have thereafter participated in the longitudinal project at age 13, 16, 18/19, and 21 (see e.g., Erling & Hwang, 2004;Frisén, Lunde, & Berg, in press;Frisén & Holmqvist, 2010;Holmqvist, Lunde & Frisén, 2007;Lunde & Frisén, 2011;Lunde, Frisén & Hwang, 2006, 2007. At the follow-up at age 21 (the focus of the present study), participants were contacted by postal mail or e-mail, depending on the contact details they had provided at their previous participation in the longitudinal study.…”

Previous research has suggested that men's conformity to masculine norms (CMN) is an important correlate of men's drive for muscularity. The present study aimed to further delineate the relationship between masculinity and men's body image by examining various dimensions of CMN in relation to various dimensions of men's body image (muscularity, leanness, and fitness) in a cross-national sample. Participants comprised young men from the United States (n ϭ 192), the United Kingdom (n ϭ 141), Australia (n ϭ 160), and Sweden (n ϭ 142). Multigroup path analyses showed that CMN was related to drive for muscularity, leanness, and fitness in all 4 countries, but there were differences across countries in which dimensions of CMN predicted men's body image. Whereas conformity to the masculine norm of winning was a salient predictor across the 4 countries, conformity to the norm of risk-taking was linked to Australian men's body image, and conformity to the norm of violence to British men's body image. The findings support previous research suggesting that men's endorsement of the male gender role plays a significant role in their desire for an ideal body, but the results uniquely document that this relationship may differ across countries.

“…In particular, studies indicate that bullying experiences are associated with disordered eating, namely among adolescent girls (Engström & Norring, 2002;Gilbert, 2002;Gilbert & Thompson, 2002;Kaltiala-Heino, Rissanen, Rimpela, & Rantanen, 1999;Menzel et al, 2010). Also, there is evidence suggesting that bullying is associated with adolescents' negative perceptions that their body is the target of criticism from others (Lunde, Frisén, & Hwang, 2006). A recent study conducted with adolescent girls revealed that the extent to which bullying is associated with eating psychopathology symptoms is influenced by how bullying becomes linked to body image shame and self-criticism (Duarte, Pinto-Gouveia, & Rodrigues, 2015).…”

Bullying experiences are associated with body image and eating-related problems. Nonetheless, research on possible resilience factors is scant. The current study tested a path model examining the association between emotional memories of experiences of warmth and safeness, and self-reassuring abilities, and whether these abilities moderate the impact of bullying experiences on body image shame and eating psychopathology.We tested this model in a nonclinical sample of 609 adolescent girls aged 12-18 years. The examined model accounted for 22% of body image shame variance and 51% of eating psychopathology variance. Memories of warmth and safeness were significantly associated with self-reassurance, and negatively linked to body image shame and eating psychopathology. Self-reassurance significantly moderated the association between bullying experiences and both body image shame and eating psychopathology. The present findings suggest the relevance of assessing the quality of interpersonal experiences reported by adolescents and their potential association with self-reassuring abilities. Moreover, these results suggest that the ability to reassure and soothe the self may have a buffering effect against the negative impact of bullying experiences on adolescents' body image and eating behaviours.

“…Prior research has indicated that teasing during childhood is related to anxiety disorders later in life (e.g., McCabe, Miller, Laugesen, Antony, & Young, 2010). Appearance teasing has also been related to body dissatisfaction (Lunde, Frisén, & Hwang, 2006) and appearance-based rejection sensitivity (Webb, Zimmer-Gembeck, & Donovan, 2014) among adolescent samples. Although the belief that attractiveness (or thinness) is related to likeability has been shown to be a better predictor of appearance concerns among children than peer interactions (e.g., Oliver & Thelen, 1996), an interesting avenue for future research would be to include appearance teasing in the examined model.…”

Early adolescents (N = 1,591; Mage = 11.698; SD = .892) participated in a two-wave panel study (6-month interval) to examine the longitudinal association between appearance-focused magazine exposure and social appearance anxiety. We revealed that magazine exposure positively correlated with the internalization of appearance ideals and the attribution of social rewards to attractiveness which, in turn, related to social appearance anxiety. Internalization and attribution of social rewards formed a reinforcing spiral; once internalized, early adolescents associate positive things to appearance ideals (e.g., peer acceptance) and the perception of rewards increases early adolescent' inclination to internalize ideals. Given the adverse consequences of social appearance anxiety, the findings warrant research on the role of media in the occurrence of social appearance anxiety.
