“…Especially for females, the well-being scores for the group with obesity were significantly lower than for that the other groups. These results are consistent with those of a previous study, which reported that males who perceived themselves as underweight had low body satisfaction and self-esteem [ 18 ], and women who overestimated their weight reported the most negative psychological conditions including anxiety, self-esteem, body satisfaction, quality of life, and eating attitudes [ 30 ]. However, although the interaction effect between OBP and gender on stress perception was statistically significant, both men and women showed very similar results for stress perception; the scores were highest for the group with obesity and decreased in order for the groups with underweight and healthy weight.…”

“…Distorted body perception is related to body dissatisfaction and attempting unhealthy weight control strategies, which lead to body dysmorphic disorder, health-obsessive behaviors, low quality of life, and eating disorders [ 27 – 29 ]. Also, distorted body perception and weight control strategies are related to the prevalence of psychological problems, as people with inaccurate perceptions of their body shape who use medical procedures for weight control could be at a higher risk of psychological disorders [ 30 ].…”

Background Children and adolescents with obesity are more likely to become adults with obesity. Therefore, obesity prevention in adolescence is essential for eliminating complications associated with obesity, which can affect health throughout the lifespan. This study examined the influences of adolescents’ obesity based on BMI and that of obesity based on adolescents’ perception of their well-being and stress, as well as the moderating effect of gender on these influences. Methods Data were analyzed for 61,861 adolescents aged 12–18, who participated in the 2019 Korean Adolescent Health Behavior Survey, an online self-administered questionnaire. Adolescents’ obesity based on perception was based on their self-rating as underweight, healthy weight, or obese. Chi-squared tests were used to determine whether well-being and stress perception were related to obesity based on BMI and obesity based on perception, and a general linear model was used to examine the main and interaction effects of obesity based on BMI, obesity based on perception, and gender on well-being and stress perception. Results Obesity based on BMI and obesity based on perception coincided in 58.7% of the sample. However, the degree of obesity was overestimated and underestimated by 19.2 and 24.3% of the sample, respectively. Obesity based on BMI and obesity based on perception varied by gender, age, economic status, and academic achievement. The main effect of obesity based on BMI was not statistically significant on both well-being and stress perception, and only the main effect of obesity based on perception was statistically significant on stress perception. The interaction between obesity based on perception and gender was significant for well-being and stress perception. Herein, males scored higher on well-being and lower on stress perception. However, the association patterns were similar for males and females, with significant differences between underweight, healthy weight, and overweight/obese; however, for only females, there was no difference in well-being scores between underweight and those who perceived themselves as having a healthy weight. Conclusion The well-being and stress perception are influenced by obesity based on perception rather than obesity based on BMI, and this influence varies according to gender in adolescents.

“…According to Monteiro et al (2022), self-esteem is a component of self-concept. Self-esteem is related to self-confidence and better mental health (Kim et al, 2021). Besides, individuals with higher self-esteem can exert self-control and recognise when to quit (Baumeister et al, 2003).…”

This study aims to investigate the impacts of self-esteem and perceived inclusion on mental toughness, the impact of mental toughness on competitive performance and the role of coaching in moderating the impacts of self-esteem and perceived inclusion on mental toughness.Motivation for the study: Mental toughness from the human resource management (HRM) perspective remains understudied. This study is expected to contribute to the literature on individuals' positive behaviours in organisations.Research approach/design and method: This study is an explanatory research with 174 supervisors of Indonesian hotels as the respondents selected using a judgemental sampling technique. The data are analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling with the SmartPLS 3.0 programme. Main findings:The findings show significant effects of self-esteem and perceived inclusion on mental toughness. Further, mental toughness affects supervisors' competitive performance. This study also finds that coaching moderates the association between perceived inclusion and mental toughness. However, coaching cannot moderate the effect of self-esteem on mental toughness.Practical/managerial implications: Organisations can develop their employees' mental toughness by bolstering their self-esteem, promoting an organisational culture that embraces inclusion and implementing regular and continuous coaching for employees. Contribution/value-add:This study analyses mental toughness from the HRM perspective. Accordingly, the implementation of the findings in organisations arguably contributes to individuals' workplace positive behaviours.
