Abstract:

It is suggested that the media is a contributing factor to the obsession with the perfect body in Western society, and the associated rise in eating disorders. One of the key features of the eating disorders anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa is a disturbance in body size and shape. Researchers disagree on how this can be quantified. Previous methods have only produced a percentage over or underestimation of body size, rather than a representative image.

Abstract:

As the clothing industry moves away from traditional models of mass production there has been increased interest towards customised clothing. The technology to produce cost effective customised clothing is already in place however the prerequisite to customised clothing is accurate body dimensional data. In response, image capture systems have been developed which are capable of recording a three-dimensional image of the body, from which measurements and shape information may be extracted. The use of these systems for customised clothing has, to date, been limited due to issues of inaccuracy,

Abstract:

Una grande varietà di input sensoriali dal mondo e dal corpo, sono continuamente integrati nel cervello al fine di creare rappresentazioni mentali sovramodali e coerenti del nostro stesso corpo. La plasticità è una caratteristica fondamentale di tali rappresentazioni, che consente costanti cambiamenti adattativi nelle funzioni mentali e nel comportamento. Anche le rappresentazioni corporee possono cambiare in base all'esperienza e, soprattutto, possono essere temporaneamente modificate mediante protocolli sperimentali. Nel presente lavoro, eravamo interessati a valutare la plasticità della per

Abstract:

Background: Since the commencement of the European colonisation of Australia in 1788, the lives and worlds of Australian Aboriginal peoples have changed dramatically. Following separation from land, family, culture, and a rapid change in diet and lifestyle, Aboriginal peoples now encounter a range of health concerns, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, poorer mental health, and lower life expectancy, that did not exist prior to colonisation. Body image has previously been a White, middle class, female concern, with other populations such as Black and Indigenous populations, considered immune. In

Abstract:

Obesity has become a global pandemic that not only affects adults, but also children and adolescents. It has been found that obesity among children and adolescents has emotional, social, physical and psychological ramifications, one of which is bullying. Very little has been written on the effects obesity in early adolescence has on bullying behaviour in a South African context. For this reason the researcher deemed it necessary to study the perceptions of youths in early adolescence with regard to obesity and bullying. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 35 early adolescents from t

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether picture presentation influenced men’s experienced body shame or Muscle Dysmorphia symptomatology, and whether there was a relationship between body shame and Muscle Dysmorphia. Participants were 112 men attending Western Kentucky University. Participants completed the Body Shame Questionnaire and Muscle Dysmorphia Inventory. Participants were randomly assigned to either view eight photographs of average men or eight photographs of muscular men. After viewing the photographs, the participants completed the Objectified Body Consciousness Scale

Full text

Abstract:

Self-conscious emotions such as shame and guilt are powerful emotions that can influence an individual’s behaviours and cognitions in many daily activities. These emotions can function as motivators, resulting in increased effort or change of action to reduce or avoid feeling the emotion again. Although considerable research exists regarding self-conscious emotions, little has been done to examine these emotions in relation to the body (Sabiston, Brunet, Kowalski, Wilson, Mack, & Crocker, 2010). Using Tracy and Robins’ (2004) model of self-conscious emotions, the purpose of this study was to e

Abstract:

Shape- and weight-based self esteem was proposed to be a central cognitive component of the eating disorders. In this thesis, the psychometric properties of the Shape- and Weight-Based Selfesteem (SAWBS) Inventory, a newly-developed measure of the influence of shape and weight on feelings of self-worth, were determined. A preliminary examination of possible developmental precursors of shape- and weight-based self-esteem was also performed. SAWBS scores were stable over 1 week, and correlated with women's negative perceptions about their bodies in eating disorder and undergraduate control

Abstract:

Cosmetic surgery is an extreme form of modern grooming. Its growth and progressive normalisation has been paralleled by increased interest, and frequent alarm, from within the academy. Social historians have located cosmetic surgery's ascendancy within the technological trajectory of medicine, set against a social world fascinated with appearance. Feminists have argued cosmetic surgery is a tool of patriarchy which oppresses and subjugates women, while sociologists have examined cosmetic surgery as a medical discourse and a form of consumption. This study took a grounded approach to engage thi

Abstract:

One of the greatest challenges facing the clothing industry worldwide, including South Africa is to provide well fitting garments to a broadly defined target population (Ashdown, Loker & Rucker 2007:1; Schofield, Ashdown, Hethorn, LaBat & Salusso 2006:147). Yu (2004:32) further states that from the consumers’ perspective, physical and psychological comfort as well as appearance play an important role in determining a well fitting garment and these are most likely to be shaped by the individual’s personal values. According to Kaiser (1998:290), personal values refer to standards or principles t
