“…This scale has demonstrated reliability and validity, and is widely used, among adults and adolescents (Thompson et al, 2004). Internal consistency in the current study was good (Cronbach's α= .95 and .94 for mothers and daughters, respectively).…”

Poor body image is a public health issue. Mothers are a key influence on adolescent girls' body image. This study evaluated an accessible, scalable, low-intensity internet-based intervention delivered to mothers (Dove Self Esteem Project Website for Parents) on mothers' and their adolescent daughters' body image and psychosocial well-being. Method: British mother-daughter dyads (N ϭ 235) participated in a cluster randomized controlled trial (assessment-only control; mothers viewed the website without structured guidance [website-unstructured]; mothers viewed the website via a tailored pathway [website-tailored]). Dyads completed standardized self-report measures of body image, related risk factors, and psychosocial outcomes at baseline, 2 weeks post-exposure, 6-week, and 12-month follow-up. Results: Dyadic models showed that relative to the control, mothers who viewed the website reported significantly higher self-esteem at post-exposure (website-tailored), higher weight esteem at 6-week follow-up (website-tailored), lower negative affect at 12-month follow-up (website-tailored), engaged in more self-reported conversations with their daughters about body image at post-exposure and 6-week follow-up, and were 3-4.66 times more likely to report seeking additional support for body image issues at post-exposure (website-tailored), 6-week, and 12-month (website-tailored) follow-up. Daughters whose mothers viewed the website had higher self-esteem and reduced negative affect at 6-week follow-up. There were no differences on daughters' body image, and risk factors among mothers or daughters, at post-exposure or follow-up. Tailoring website content appeared beneficial. Conclusions: This intervention offers a promising 'first-step' toward improving psychosocial well-being among mothers and daughters. In order to further optimize the intervention, future research to improve body image-related outcomes and to understand mechanisms for change would be beneficial.

“…Media-ideal internalization: the 9-item General (e.g., "I don't try to look like the people on TV"; reverse item) and the 5-item Athletic Internalization (e.g., "I don't wish I looked as athletic as the people in magazines"; reverse item) subscales of the Italian version [59,60] of the Sociocultural Attitudes Toward Appearance Questionnaire-3 (SATAQ-3) [61] were used to assess media-ideal internalization at T1. Research indicated that both subscales are critical in measuring females' and males' endorsement of media messages that espouse unrealistic body shape ideals and the striving toward such ideals see [18].…”

“…The CDI is the most commonly used measure of depressive symptomatology in depression studies with children and adolescents (Horowitz & Garber, 2006) and has been reliably used with early adolescent Australian Depression as a moderator samples (Roberts, Kane, Thomson, Bishop, & Hart, 2003). The validity and reliability of the Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire-3 (Thompson, van den Berg, Roehrig, Guarda, & Heinberg, 2004) as a measure of media internalization has been previously confirmed with young-adolescent Australian girls and boys (Wilksch & Wade, 2012). Finally, the Eating Disorder Inventory -Body Dissatisfaction scale (Garner, Olmstead, & Polivy, 1983) is widely used in eating disorder research and has been found to be reliable and valid measure for 11-18-year-old participants (Shore & Porter, 1990).…”

Highlights To date there have been no examinations of moderators of outcome in universal eating disorder prevention trials  This study investigated if depression moderated outcome of Media Smart, a school-based program previously found to reduce risk factors over a 2.5-year follow-up  Baseline depression moderated program outcome for shape and weight concern, media internalization, body dissatisfaction, ineffectiveness and perceived pressure. Participants with high depression experienced significant immediate benefit from Media Smart at postporgram, while those with low depression experienced a prevention effect over the 2.5-year follow-up. The goal of universal eating disorder prevention programs should be to halt risk factor growth over time and Media Smart did this for the important variable of shape and weight concern. *Highlights (for review)Depression as a moderator 2 Abstract Objective: To investigate if baseline depression moderated response to Media Smart, an 8-lesson school-based program previously found to achieve a long-term risk reduction effect in young adolescents. Method: 540 Grade 8 students (M age = 13.62 years, SD = .37) from 4 schools participated with 11 classes receiving the Media Smart program (126 girls; 107 boys) and 13 comparison classes receiving their normal lessons (147 girls; 160 boys). Shape and weight concern, media internalization, body dissatisfaction, dieting, ineffectiveness, and perceived pressure were the outcome variables. Results: Moderation was indicated by significant interaction effects for group (Media Smart; Control) X moderator (high depression; low depression) X time (post-program; 6-month follow-up; 2.5-year follow-up), with baseline entered as a covariate. Such effects were found for shape and weight concern, media internalization, body dissatisfaction, ineffectiveness and perceived pressure. Posthoc testing found high depression Media Smart participants scored significantly lower than their control counterparts at post-program on shape and weight concern, media internalization and dieting, whereas low depression Media Smart participants scored significantly lower on shape and weight concern at 2.5-year followup. Discussion: Media Smart achieved a reduction in eating disorder risk factors for high-depression participants and a reduced rate of growth in risk factor scores for low-depression participants.

The sociocultural attitudes towards appearance scale‐3 (SATAQ‐3): Development and validation

Abstract: The SATAQ-3 measures multiple aspects of a societal influence and should prove useful for basic risk factor work as well as for gauging the efficacy of prevention and treatment programs.
