Selective mood‐induced body image disparagement and enhancement effects: Are they due to cognitive priming or subjective mood?

Abstract

The findings yielded support for the cognitive priming hypothesis but not for the subjective mood hypothesis. Further means of examining the cognitive priming hypothesis were outlined.

Relationship between body image disturbance and incidence of depression: the SUN prospective cohort

“…Other studies have shown that depression can lead to body image disturbance [ 12 , 13 , 15 ]. However, the temporal sequence is a potential major limitation of those studies as well, as they also used a cross sectional design.…”

“…Results of some studies have shown that body image disturbance is associated with depression [ 8 , 10 , 16 , 17 ]. Other researchers suggest that depression predisposes to body image disturbance [ 12 , 13 , 15 ]. However, these previous studies had a cross sectional design, which does not assure the temporal sequence of the association investigated.…”

Key Variables in the Development of Eating Disorders During the Adolescence: Implications for Sex Differences

“…These suggestions are in the line with those outlined by Stice et al (2003) with regards to weight control programs; they stressed the importance of increasing body satisfaction in young people. Likewise, Rotenberg et al (2004) demostrated the difficulty of modifying aspects related to the subjective state of mind by induction, despite achieving changes in the cognitive area with regards to body image.…”

Body Image in Eating Disorders: The Influence of Exposure to Virtual-Reality Environments

“…With regard to this connection, the literature shows that anxiety and depressive states influence body-image disturbances, usually increasing levels of body overestimation and especially body dissatisfaction. [58][59][60] What is more, mood changes during the day are closely associated with concurrent body-image disturbances. In this validation of the VR environments, ED patients displayed higher levels of anxiety and depressed mood after eating (in both the high-and low-calorie-food modes) and after visiting the swimming pool than in the neutral room.…”
