Annotation:

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the UK and both diagnosis and treatment can cause significant levels of distress and impaired quality of life. There arc many factors that relate to psychological distress in women coping with breast cancer including changes in body image. Appearance-related side effects, such as hair loss, are often reported as more severe than side-effects such as nausea and fatigue. A review of the literature explores the links between mainstream body image models and breast cancer. The impact of mastectomy on body image and mental health outcomes is discussed as well as the role of breast reconstruction, as this may help to alleviate women's body image difficulties and emotional distress following surgery. The need to understand the role of body image investment within theoretical models as well as for breast cancer patients facing mastectomy and immediate reconstruction is highlighted, especially in light of the inconsistencies found within the literature. The empirical paper investigates the psychosocial and body image outcomes of two groups of women: those undergoing mastectomy alone and those undergoing mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction. It also examines whether investment in body image acts as a moderating variable between surgery type and subsequent psychological distress. Both groups reported deteriorations in their body image following surgery, though this did not always correspond with increased emotional distress. Women who reported a higher body image investment who underwent mastectomy alone had the poorest outcomes.

Objective: Body image may be regarded as a very useful tool in marketing strategies. In the theoretic part of the thesis, body image topic is discussed from the women and men's perspective. Main aspects which could be used in marketing are stressed. 1) The first aim of the thesis is to support or explode a theory about current slim ideal in women and athletic body in men and furthermore struggling of men and women to fulfill this ideal by dieting or exercise. 2) The second aim is to find how exactly body image is used in printed adverts on cosmetics, medicines, food supplements and medical devices distributed in pharmacies. Methods: Questionnaire study, analysis of adverts on leaflets. Results: Aim 1: A total of 43 subjects were included in the study, 28 females, 15 males. The majority of subject had university education (35 subj.), none of the subject had only basic level of education. The most frequent residence included Prague (30 subjects). Two hypotheses were statistically confirmed in the study, i.e. Hypothesis 7: Women more than men are aware of the fact, that advertisements do influence their feeling about what they want to look like (p=0.004) and Hypothesis 13: The desire to loose weight is dependent on age (p=0.002). In women, slim body is preferred, while in men the best body would be athletic one. Aim 2: The percentage of total area which aimed at body image differs substantialy within the analysed sample (minimum 4%, maximum 36% of total area of the leaflet). Body image is most frequently used in adverts on cosmetics. In general, it seems, that the area dedicated to body image is very similar across all cathegories. Most of the adverts showed woman's body or its parts. If a man was shown, it was always in a particular social role (a father, a grandfather). Conclusion: Basic presumptions and hypotheses about body image of men and women in our society were confirmed. In line with published literature data, the women's ideal would mean a slim lady who takes care of herself. In men, it is a tall handsome browny man with friendly nature. A certain pilot study into printed adverts on various products sold in pharmacies also confirms wide use of body image in advertising on cosmetics and also over the counter sold medicines. Also in this part of the thesis a compliance with literature-published data concerning use of body image in advertising was found.

Body image is undoubtedly important in everyone's life. The main objective of this thesis is to find its importance for marketing. To achieve this goal, it was necessary to find out the society's opinions on the issue of beauty and body image, how do media picture human body and if there exists a difference between these two things. The first part of this theses consists of the historical development of the beauty ideal. It is followed by segmentation of Czech population, based on the data from the project MML-TGI, survey focused on beauty preferences and content analysis of lifestyle magazines. The findings support among other things the importance of beauty to most people, media's focus on extreme thinness for females and disparity between the presented ideal and people's preferences. The results lead to one conclusion: the importance of body image for marketing exists and is significant.

Annotation:

Body image, the subjective view about one’s own body and how others perceive it, has been shown to have numerous impacts on women in multiple facets of their lives, including sexual experiences. This study seeks to examine the specific impact that body image has on women using sexual relationships for self-validation. Findings suggest that the more likely a woman is to perceive herself as overweight, the higher the chance that she seeks out sex in order to validate her feelings with regards to her body. Parental involvement and comments about the participant’s body were also shown with the woman seeking out sex for self-validation. Body image can have numerous impacts on the sexual health of women, as well as on their overall mental health and view of healthy relationships.

Annotation:

Although there have been only a few etiological studies that have examined the development and maintenance of body image in males, research fairly consistently reports that exposure and presumed comparison to images of ideal male bodies increases body dissatisfaction. Social comparison provides individuals with a mechanism by which to evaluate their body appearance to those around them. When individuals compare their bodies to those of others, they are attempting to gauge their standing or status relative to those around them, the results of which have inherent status implications. There is increasing empirical evidence that suggests perceived increases in status result in increased testosterone levels, whereas testosterone decreases when status is perceived as having been diminished. Thus, the core of the present study: can the process of comparing the appearance of oneÂs body to that of others affect the testosterone levels, body satisfaction, and mood of males? To examine the above research questions, a two-part study was designed. A pilot study was conducted with 117 male undergraduates primarily to examine the psychometrics of measures to be used in the main study. The measures appeared psychometrically sound and were thus used in the main study. In the main study, 129 male undergraduates were exposed to photographs of one of three male body types (i.e., lean/muscular, skinny, average) to determine whether or not exposure to the different body types differentially affected participantsÂ testosterone levels, body satisfaction, and mood. Results indicate that testosterone levels decreased over the course of the experiment in each of the three groups; however, the body type to which participants were exposed did not differentially affect participantsÂ testosterone levels. Body dissatisfaction was greater among participants who viewed lean/muscular bodies than those who viewed average bodies. Lastly, mood was not differentially affected by viewing different types of male bodies. Implications and possible explanations for these results are discussed.

Annotation:

Background: In the course of their lives, individuals evolve a body image, which can be challenged due to ageing. Individuals who have difficulties reconciling their body image with reality may resort to various strategies, such as exercise and dieting, in order to cope. These behaviours may in turn result in more severe psychological problems, e.g. eating disorders, which are under researched in older adults. Body image, body change, physical illness and ways of coping with ageing have been researched to various degrees in older adults, but these findings have not been integrated. To justify the further investigation of eating disorders in older adults, these previous findings should be integrated and confirmed in a representative sample of the general population. The aim of this study was to assess gender differences in body image and to explore the associations between physical & psychological health and body image in an older adult non-clinical sample. Methods: The study was between groups, cross-sectional in design comprising of a single administration of a combined self-report questionnaire as no intervention requiring a follow up was offered. The non-clinical sample was recruited through multiple channels i.e. community centres, church groups and the staff of a large teaching hospital. 103 women aged 50-96 and 57 men aged 50-84 returned a total of 160 completed questionnaires (80.0% of the questionnaires distributed). Results: Older women were found to have more body image concerns than older men. Older women's body image concern was found to be associated with BMI, whereas older men's body image concern was associated with BMI and physical health. Older women and men presented with similar negative attitudes towards ageing. Both older women and older men desired weight loss despite being of normal weight, although this was more common in older women. Physical illness was not associated with psychological symptoms, physical illness was directly associated with body image concerns in older men only, while body image concerns in older women were associated with age controlling behaviours. Summary: The current study demonstrates that the many of the associations relating to body image in younger populations are also present in older adults. These results, in combination with the literature on the aetiology of eating disorders, which emphasises the association with body image discontent, provides sufficient justification for epidemiological work to establish the prevalence of eating disorders in older adults. Ultimately, the current study serves as a staging point between the vast literature on body image in younger populations & the limited literature on body image in older adults and future research investigating gender differences in the components of body images.

Annotation:

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between viewing fitspirational content and women's body image, exercise attitudes, and eating attitudes. It was hypothesized that viewing fitspirational content would lead to a reduction in body image and an increase in eating disorder-related thoughts and guilt or sadness related to exercising. One significant interaction was found, which implied that individuals who had viewed the fitspirational content had more guilt and depressive feelings related to exercise than individuals in the control group when comparing to the pre-test. None of the remaining hypotheses were supported.

There is evidence that men are experiencing body image dissatisfaction in growing numbers. The term muscle dysmorphia has been used to describe one expression of extreme body image distress and is thought to be particularly prevalent in male body-builders. This study aimed to explore male body-builders understanding and experiences of their body image. A grounded theory methodology was used, situated within a contextual constructionist epistemology. Five male body-builders were interviewed and the transcripts analysed. Control emerged as the core concept, expressing participants' feelings of control loss and attempts to mediate this. Four higher order categories emerged as areas where issues of control were most obvious self-image gym culture social pressures and health beliefs and behaviours. A model of the relationships between the categories and control was developed. Feelings of uncertainty about self in relation to body image were evident. Mediation occurred through attempts to control the social environment leading to further immersion within the gym culture. Nutritional beliefs and diet behaviours were another way in which the participants' attempted to exert control over their body image. Implications for clinical practice were discussed, with particular emphasis on men presenting to services expressing distress about their body image in relation to body fat and physique. Recommendations for future research were made and limitations of the study were discussed.

Annotation:

This thesis explored the relationship between cognitive biases to body size and one’s developed levels of body image concerns and weight status. Women with higher body image concerns were hypothesised to process body-related information in a biased fashion, specifically, to choose thin body ideals and rate thinner bodies higher on attractiveness, display an attentional bias towards thin bodies, and to estimate their own body size inaccurately. In study 1 (N = 84), although an attentional bias to thin bodies was not found, a positive thinness bias in young females was identified and related to one’s level of body image concerns. In study 2 (N = 61), an even more pronounced positive thinness bias was identified in a female sample with average to high levels of body image concerns. The study provided evidence that this bias can be successfully modified and that shifting the interpretation of body size can result in less extreme attitudes towards body size and improve one’s negative body image. Study 3 showed that a positive attitude towards thin female bodies exists in both young men (N = 67) and women (N = 67), but the choice of attractiveness ideals is related to one’s body image only when judging the bodies of one’s own gender. Study 4 (N = 87) indicated that regardless of one’s weight status, women higher in body image concerns present a greater discrepancy between their estimated and ideal size. However, the magnitude of one’s body size underestimation and inaccuracy in judging the amount of weight one would need to lose to achieve their body ideal was related to body image concerns for overweight and obese, but not normal weight women. Overall, the results show that cognitive body biases exist in young women and are related to one’s body image concerns and weight status.

The current thesis evaluates the Body IMAGEination program implemented to improve body image and health behaviors of adolescent girls at the nonprofit organization Girls Incorporated. The program goals were to teach program participants to (1) deconstruct media messages, (2) navigate negative appearance messages (3) encourage a healthy lifestyle and (4)understand normal development and puberty. One Hundred and twenty-four adolescent girls (ages 12-15) participated in the evaluation and completed pre and post tests on body satisfaction.It was expected that participants who completed the program would display improvements ingoals from pre-test to post-test and show improved body satisfaction. As hypothesized, results indicated that participation in the program significantly predicted improved satisfaction in sexual attractiveness, physical condition, and weight concern. Additionally, regression analyses indicated that greater ability to navigate negative messages from friends, family and peers predicted positive changes in weight concern.

Annotation:

This thesis take a multidimensional view on body image, suggesting that perceptions of the body are not restricted to the way the body “looks”; they may also extend to the way the body “functions”. A new measure of body image; the Embodied Image Scale (EIS), was developed specifically to measure the cognitive, behavioural and affective components of body image across both the aesthetic and functional dimensions of the body. This thesis also explored contexts with the potential to foster a positive body image among adolescent girls, who are considered to be at high risk of developing a poor body image. Study 1 introduced the EIS, and explored its psychometric properties with a sample of Western Australian adolescents. The EIS was found to demonstrate adequate reliability and the functional and aesthetic dimensions of the body were found to be separate dimensions. Overall, both males and females reported significantly higher value towards investment in, and satisfaction with the functional dimension of the body, compared to the aesthetic dimension. Girls reported lower overall body satisfaction than boys. The functional dimension of the body was valued and invested in more by boys than girls who placed higher focus on the aesthetic dimension. Study 2 explored changes in functional and aesthetic body satisfaction among Western Australian adolescents over a year. Girls reported lower overall body satisfaction than boys. Although both boys and girls reported a significant decrease in body satisfaction over the 12-month period, this decrease was stronger for female participants. Cohort differences were also found, with older adolescents reporting higher functional body satisfaction. This study highlights the poor condition of adolescent girls’ body image and confirms a need to explore contexts with the potential to improve body image among these young women. Study 3 explored the association between sports and physical activity participation and body image among Australian adolescent girls. Sports participants reported higher value, investment in, and satisfaction with their functionality than non-participants and physically active girls. Although they reported higher functional behavioral-investment, girls who participated in general physical activity did not differ significantly from non-participants on functional satisfaction. Body image was also found to differ significantly among girls participating in different sport types. The results indicated that, although girls in different sport types differ in their body image, any involvement was associated with more functional body image than being sedentary. Study 4 explored the link between sports participation and body image by measuring experiences of body objectification and physical competence during girls’ non-sporting and sporting activities, distinguishing between aesthetic and non-aesthetic sport types. Both experiences were more prevalent during sporting than non-sporting activities. Overall, girls reported more experiences of physical competence and body objectification during sports compared to activities. Bodily experiences differed between aesthetic and non-aesthetic sport types; however, this difference varied when between-person and within-person analyses were conducted. Experiences of body objectification were positively related to aesthetic body values. Satisfaction in both the functional and aesthetic body was positively predicted by girls’ experiences of physical competence. In summary, all four studies highlight that focusing solely on the aesthetic dimension of body image gives an incomplete understanding of adolescent body perceptions. This thesis also highlights that contexts where body functionality is highly salient may encourage a more functionally focused body image than those where appearance is also highly salient. The results of this thesis may benefit those with an interest in improving body image among adolescent girls.

Annotation:

This study will look into to the concepts of Peripersonal Space, The Body Schema and The Body Image. It examines how the terms are typically used and describes the various views about the concepts found in the literature, as well as the contradictions between these views. In the section “The Difficulty to Differentiate the Concepts” the reader gets a deeper understanding of which criteria researchers use to differentiate the concepts from one another. The fact that there are changes in kineamethic model and sensation in humans when they are using a rake is proposed as support for the idea that also the body schema is involved in tool use. In differentiating the Body schema – Body Image from each other (and other types of body representation) we come to the conclusion that positive definitions about different representations is needed and that researchers should unite their views what the definitions should be. We also mention a problem based on the possibility on infinite body representations and a solution by a Bayesian model is proposed that looks at the input as well as the output in experiments.

Annotation:

Body image, broadly defined as an individual's general experience of his or her physical appearance, is a multidimensional phenomenon that has been found to affect functioning throughout the lifetime. Although some degree of dissatisfaction has been found to be a common aspect of the female experience, research suggests that a disturbance in body image can result in a number of clinical complications, particularly the development of an eating disorder (ED). Despite the relationship between body image and EDs, examinations of the cognitive underpinnings of the relationship between body image disturbance and EDs are relatively few and inconclusive. Research indicates that individuals with an ED diagnosis exhibit cognitive rigidity (deficits in set-shifting ability) and weak central coherence(as demonstrated by performance on measures of information processing style). However, research has not established whether individuals with body image disturbance who do not meet criteria for an ED exhibit comparable performance. The aim of the current study was to determine whether individuals with body image disturbance exhibit similar patterns of neuropsychological functioning. A sample of women with high levels of body image disturbance completed a battery of cognitive tests and outcomes were compared to a group of women with little disturbance and also compared with performance of individuals with diagnosed EDs as cited in previous studies. Overall, the results do not clearly indicate that women with body image disturbance have difficulties with set-shifting tasks and global information processing, however some preliminary patterns did emerge. These preliminary findings extend existing theoretical models of body image and have potential to inform clinical efforts aimed at improving treatment protocols for body image disturbance and EDs by targeting these aspects of neurocognition during treatment.

Annotation:

Severe perineal trauma with injury to the anal sphincter at childbirth can have a profound effect on the physical and psychological wellbeing of women. This thesis describes literature examining resulting outcomes including effects on body image. It describes patient-based outcome measures used to capture this information, and evaluation of their psychometric properties. Body Image can be defined as an individual's perceptions and feelings about their own body. There is a growing interest in how this concept can influence quality of life and psychosocial dysfunction in medical disorders. This thesis aimed to examine relationships between severity of perineal trauma, general and genital specific body image and potentially influences such as symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction. No patient-reported outcome measure validated for use in women after anal sphincter injury exists and this thesis also aimed to psychometrically evaluate an existing electronic questionnaire, ePAQ (electronic personal assessment questionnaire), for this application. In the thesis, a retrospective review of body image and physical outcomes attending a perineal clinic shows over half of women report perceived changes in body image after anal sphincter injury, with negative effects on self-esteem. A prospective observational cohort study explored genital and general body image in primiparous women grouped according to degree of perineal trauma or caesarean delivery. Women completed the Female Genital Self Image Score, the modified Body Image Score, ePAQ and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale a mean of 15.5 weeks (standard deviation 1.6) after delivery. There were significant differences in genital body image scores between the groups, but not in general body image, with regression analysis showing the greatest influence on genital body image to be the anatomical extent of the trauma. Embedded into this study was the evaluation of reliability (internal consistency and test-retest) and validity (face, content and construct) of ePAQ in the group of women with anal sphincter tears. This thesis presents the first research to quantify issues surrounding severe perineal trauma and body image and demonstrates that more severe trauma leads to a poorer genital body image. It also reports psychometric evaluation of ePAQ in women after anal sphincter injury providing the first single instrument with validity and reliability for use in this context.

Annotation:

Research has not explicitly examined the link between key components of terror management theory (TMT) and body image without the use of mortality salience. This project explored the link between cultural worldview, self-esteem, body image, and death anxiety. Multiple measures were used to create a structural equation model examining relationships between body image and death anxiety as mediated by body image in the context of TMT. The proposed model did not fit the data. Minor modifications were made to the model keeping within the proposed theoretical perspective. In the modified model the relationships between cultural worldview and death anxiety as mediated by body image were either non-existent or weak. Hierarchical regression analyses did suggest that some aspects of body image indeed did predict some, but not all dimension of death anxiety in this sample of young adults.

This diploma thesis discusses the main issues in regards to the topic of body image in marketing, such as its overall description, its negative impacts and the influence it has among the media and advertising. A content analysis was the primary methodology used in this thesis. Furthermore, not only were Czech television commercials analysed, but also Australian ones. The work also discusses the fundamental media indicators which help to form a better understanding of the television market. The results indicate that a normal person will be presented in a television commercial in an attempt to better connect the viewer to the commercial, thus connecting the product or brand to the mass audience. This finding was also backed up by the the results of a media indicators analysis that was conducted for Czech commercials.

Annotation:

In this dissertation the feasibility of Experientialism about the sense of bodily ownership (SBO) is explored and defended. An original experientialist proposal on the SBO is presented. On this view, for a subject to have a SBO is for her to be aware of (A) the experience-dependency of the properties involved in the content of somatosensory experiences; and (B) the relevant experiences as being her own. Clause (B) of the view requires acknowledging the existence of a sense of experience ownership (SEO). In the first half of the dissertation (Chapter 1 and Chapter 2) I argue for the plausibility of this sort of approach by motivating the idea that there are explanatory relations between the SBO and the SEO, and criticising some rival views on the SBO. In the second half of the thesis (Chapter 3 and Chapter 4) I substantiate and defend my proposal.
En aquesta tesi s’explora i es defensa la viabilitat de l’Experiencialisme sobre el sentit de propietat sobre el cos (sense of bodily ownership; SBO). Es presenta una proposta experiencialista de l’SBO. Segons aquesta proposta, un subjecte té SBO si i només si s’adona (A) de la dependència de l’experiència de les propietats involucrades en el contingut de les experiències somatosensorials; i (B) que les experiències somatosensorials rellevants són seves. La clàusula (B) demana el reconeixement de l’existència d’un sentit de propietat sobre les experiències (sense of experience ownership; SEO). A la primera meitat de la tesi (Capítol 1 i Capítol 2) s’argumenta a favor de la plausibilitat d’aquest tipus de proposta, motivant la idea que hi ha relacions explicatives entre SBO i SEO, i criticant algunes teories rivals sobre l’SBO. A la segona part de la tesi (Capítol 3 i Capítol 4) es desenvolupa i es defensa la proposta.
