Risk and resiliency factors related to body dissatisfaction and disordered eating: The identity disruption model
Lenny R. Vartanian, Lydia E. Hayward, Joshua M. Smyth, Susan J. Paxton, Stepeh W. Touyz
The study examined a theoretical model linking negative early life experiences to body dissatisfaction and disordered eating via self-concept clarity and sociocultural factors. 1,023 participants completed a series of questionnaires online, including measures of negative early life experiences and childhood abuse, self-concept clarity, internalization of beauty ideals, appearance comparison tendencies, sociocultural pressure to improve one's appearance, body dissatisfaction, and disordered eating. Internalization and appearance comparisons were associated with body image concerns, which in turn were associated with disordered eating and exercise behaviors. These findings opens up the possibility for new interventions that are targeted toward those who are most vulnerable to developing body dissatisfaction and disordered eating.
