“…Media internalized pressure can have a negative effect on people’s image satisfaction. Once it is reduced, people will enhance their weight control behavior ( Hsin and Hung, 2008 ; Sun et al, 2013 ; Cao et al, 2014 ); meanwhile, this improves the weight control self-efficacy ( Chen et al, 2009 ; Chih and Chia, 2018 ), which can effectively improve college students’ sports participation. In conclusion, combining with the Bootstrap test program for intermediary effect, it can be inferred that weight control self-efficacy plays an intermediary role between media internalized pressure and sports participation is true.…”

“…Some studies have also found that weight control self-efficacy has a good positive predictive effect on sports participation ( Kuan and Huang, 2012 ; Yea and Yea, 2014 ; Meng et al, 2017 ; Annesi, 2019 ; Shang and Ku, 2019 ). One study also found that media internalized pressure can have a negative effect on one’s body image satisfaction, and once one’s body image satisfaction decreases, weight control behaviors increase ( Hsin and Hung, 2008 ; Sun et al, 2013 ; Cao et al, 2014 ), and it also contributes to weight control self-efficacy ( Chen et al, 2009 ; Chih and Chia, 2018 ), which in turn can effectively increase college students’ sports participation. It seems that weight control self-efficacy may play a mediating role between media pressure and sports participation.…”

Purpose: Discuss the relationship among college students’ media internalized pressure, social physique anxiety, weight control self-efficacy, and sports participation in providing a reference for promoting college students to develop healthy and confident living habits.Methods: Take Southwest University in China as the object, select the subjects by stratified random sampling, and process the data with SPSS19.0 and AMOS21.0 statistical software.Results: (1) Media internalized pressure is positively correlated with social physique anxiety, weight control self-efficacy, and sports participation; social physique anxiety is significantly positively correlated with weight control self-efficacy and sports participation, and weight control self-efficacy is significantly positively correlated with sports participation; (2) media internalized pressure has a direct effect on sports participation (ES = 0.456), and social physique anxiety (ES = 0.136) and weight control self-efficacy (ES = 0.102) play significant mediating roles in the relationship between media internalized pressure and sports participation, respectively; the chained mediating force of social physique anxiety and weight control self-efficacy also reaches a significant level (ES = 0.027).Conclusion: Media internalized pressure can influence college students’ sports participation through the direct path as well as indirect paths such as social physique anxiety, the intermediary effect of weight control self-efficacy, and chained intermediary effect of social physique anxiety–weight control self-efficacy, and social physique anxiety is another key factor affecting college students’ sports participation except media internalized pressure.

“…An adapted version of the Self‐Objectification Questionnaire (Noll & Fredrickson, 1998; Sun, 2016; Vandenbosch et al, 2015) was utilized. Participants were asked to rank order five appearance‐based attributes and five competence‐based attributes by the importance of each attribute to their physical self‐concept.…”

ObjectiveTo investigate the effectiveness of a 10‐min self‐compassion writing in alleviating body dissatisfaction, self‐objectification, and emotional eating in young adult women engaged in emotional eating in the context of appearance‐related cyberbullying.MethodA total of 175 Chinese young adult women (Mage = 20.90, SD = 1.65) were randomly assigned to one of the three groups: self‐compassion, distraction, or control group. At baseline, participants completed assessments of trait and state body dissatisfaction, trait self‐objectification, trait self‐compassion, emotional eating, and positive and negative affect. Then they needed to recall an appearance‐related cyberbullying victimization experience, after which state body dissatisfaction, state self‐objectification, and positive and negative affect were measured. After the intervention, participants completed measures of state body dissatisfaction, state self‐objectification, positive and negative affect, state self‐compassion, and a food‐choosing task. At 1‐month follow‐up, participants completed measures of trait body dissatisfaction, trait self‐objectification, trait self‐compassion, and emotional eating.ResultsAt post‐intervention, state body dissatisfaction and negative affect were significantly lower, and positive affect was significantly higher in both the self‐compassion and distraction groups compared to control. State self‐objectification was significantly lower in the self‐compassion group than in the other two groups. At 1‐month follow‐up, the self‐compassion group showed significantly lower levels of body dissatisfaction than the control group.DiscussionThe findings provide initial evidence for the potential of self‐compassion writing in reducing state self‐objectification and state body dissatisfaction in the context of appearance‐related cyberbullying.Public SignificanceAppearance‐related cyberbullying, a common phenomenon in social networking sites, has been documented to associate with appearance‐related concerns and disordered eating in young adult women. However, effective interventions that can reduce these negative associations are scarce. This study preliminarily found that a brief self‐compassion writing could be a potential intervention for reducing state self‐objectification and state body dissatisfaction in young adult women who had suffered appearance‐related cyberbullying.

“…This research also shows that body image exerts a significant negative predictive effect on weight loss intention, indicating that the more negative the individual's body image, the higher the weight loss intention, and vice versa. Some scholars believe that (Cao et al, 2014;Sun et al, 2013) college students are prone to a cognitive deviation between actual body mass and ideal body mass, generally assuming that the former is heavier than the latter. Such that, they tend to focus more on a good-looking appearance and slim body, therefore, resulting in reduced body image, risen obesity anxiety, and intensified weight loss intention.…”

Effects of short-video use on undergraduates’ weight- loss intention: a regulatory mediation model

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This research intends to explore the effects of short video use on college students’ weight loss intentions, and its intrinsic mechanism of action, based on the responses of 1268 students from three universities in southwest China to questionnaires with the instruments of a sports participation scale, body image scale, self-esteem scale and weight loss intention scale. The findings are listed as follows: 1) Short video use can significantly and positively predict weight loss intention; 2) Body image mediates the relationship between short video usage and weight loss intentions; 3) Self-esteem plays a regulatory effect as the direct path between short video use and weight loss intention as well as partial mediation effect of body image. The direct effect of short video use on weight loss intentions and the mediating effect of body image gradually increased with the decrease of self-esteem. The results of the study suggest that short video use can affect the weight loss intentions of college students through either a direct or indirect path created by the mediating role of body image. Meanwhile, the influence of self-esteem on weight loss intention can’t be ignored, which is another key factor that affects college students’ weight loss intentions beyond short video use and body image.
