“…Research results emphasise the importance of the role of parents, especially fathers, with respect to the level of body dissatisfaction and the development of maladaptive eating patterns in daughters (Steinhilber, Rey, Harkins, 2020). Women with higher self-esteem who receive psychological support tended to have greater satisfaction with their bodies.…”

The article addresses the issues of parental attitudes of fathers, as assessed in retrospect by their daughters, currently in the period of early adulthood, in the context of the women’s self-esteem and stress management style. The aim of the research was to examine to what extent parental attitudes of fathers are correlated with the self-esteem of their adult daughters and the way in which they cope with difficult and stressful situations. It was assumed that fathers’ attitudes related to autonomy and acceptance are positively correlated with a higher level of overall self-esteem and all its components, as well as with a more effective, task-based stress management style. On the other hand, negative attitudes, including rejection, over-protective, excessively demanding attitude and inconsistency, were assumed to be correlated with a lower level of overall self-esteem and all its components, as well as less effective, emotional and avoidance-based coping style in stressful situations. The study group comprised 100 women in their early adulthood.

Previous work has examined the relations between feminism, feminine gender roles, and body image concerns with inconclusive findings. The purpose of this study was to conduct an updated meta-analysis of the relation between feminist identity and negative embodiment, and to conduct new analyses to test how endorsement of femininity relates to negative embodiment. Through the technique of meta-analysis, we analyzed 80 studies (87 samples, N = 24,308) and 217 effect sizes to examine these associations. The predictor variables were measures of feminist identity and endorsement of femininity. The negative embodiment criterion variables were measures of body dissatisfaction, self-objectification, internalization of cultural body ideals, and disordered eating attitudes. Feminist identity was found to be negatively associated with negative embodiment, but only modestly, with small but significant effect sizes across most variables. Endorsement of femininity was found to be positively associated with negative embodiment, with mostly significant effect sizes ranging from small to large. These findings underscore the importance of considering the roles of feminist identity and traditional gender ideology in the etiology and prevention of women’s experiences of negative embodiment.
