“…In the control group, only parental attachment was related to BD. Regarding these data it is noteworthy that peer attachment style established by adolescents with ED seems to be crucial for their body image development, which is in accordance with other studies based on non-clinical samples (Wick et al, 2012; Szalai et al, 2017) regarding parental attachment. In addition, these results are similar to those obtained by Schutz and Paxton (2007) with adolescents regarding peer attachment, BD, and ED symptoms, since they did not find association between communication, trust and several study variables.…”

“…Previous studies with adolescents have provided promising data. For example, Szalai et al (2017) reported that boys had significantly higher body satisfaction, and worse maternal attachment than girls, who showed worse paternal attachment and higher depression. Higher paternal anxiety and avoidance, and maternal avoidance predicted lower body satisfaction in both genders.…”

“…They found a significant positive relationship between insecure attachment, development of ED, and BD. In another study, with an infant-juvenile sample of 5214 subjects (Szalai et al, 2017), it was found that parental dysfunctional attachment was associated with low BD mediated by the level of depression. However, to date we have not found scientific studies published that assess this relationship in adolescent clinical samples.…”

The study of attachment is a valuable theoretical framework to understand the influence of parents and friends on the evolution and development of adolescents. This study aimed to determine parents’ and peers’ attachment style, the relationship between parents’ and peers’ attachment and body dissatisfaction in adolescents with eating disorders (ED), and to compare it with a control group. The sample consisted of 260 adolescents ( Mage = 15.35, SDage = 1.461): a control group consisting of 129 non-clinical subjects and an ED group composed by 131 adolescents diagnosed with ED who attended five ED units located in different regions of Spain. They completed the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ-34) and the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (IPPA). Adolescents with ED have less trust with their parents, worse communication with their parents and peers, and greater alienation with fathers and peers. The results showed a statistically significant relationship between parents’ attachment and body dissatisfaction in both groups. In ED group, peers’ alienation was positively correlated to body dissatisfaction. Parental attachment and alienation feelings with peers could influence body dissatisfaction in ED adolescents.

“…One explanation that should be tested in future study may be because fathers make fewer comments than mothers about their child's weight (Berge et al, 2016). These differences between motherchild and father-child relationships regarding body image may also be explained by the difference in attachment with parents (Szalai et al, 2017) and in type of influence, where children would be more influenced by modeling than by other types of influence (Quiles Marcos et al, 2013).…”

Although social support has been linked to body satisfaction, there has been little research on the effect of differential sources of support on the trajectory of appearance esteem over time. To address this gap, this study explored changes in adolescents' appearance esteem to perceived social support over one year. Data were collected from 339 Canadian adolescents (54.57% females) in Grade 7 (M age = 12.05) and Grade 10 (M age = 15.14). Multilevel growth modeling revealed that perceived social support from fathers was not associated with appearance esteem, whereas mothers' support had the strongest effect on appearance esteem, consistently over time. Friends' support was also related to an increase in the appearance esteem trajectory, but only for older students. Overall, this prospective study provides a better understanding of the unique contribution of three different sources of social support during adolescence for preventing negative appearance esteem, beyond the effects of other related variables.

“…Binding met die ma is die primêre gevoelsband wat ontwikkel tussen die kind en sy/haar primêre versorger (Szalai, Czeglédi, Vargha & Grezsa 2017:1007) en die hoofdoel van die bindingsproses is dat die kind moet voel dat hy op sy primêre versorger/s vir nabyheid en beskerming kan steun en vertrou (Bowlby 1988;Guedes, Santos, Ribeiro, Freitas, Rubin & Veríssimo 2018:197-199). 'n Kind wat veilig voel, vind dit gemaklik om sy leefwêreld te verken en sy energie te gebruik om sin te maak van nuwe uitdagings en ervarings (Moen 2017:152).…”
