Description
Summary:General direction of the studies indicated that people from collectivistic cultures have higher body dissatisfaction. [...]overall findings suggested that females have more body dissatisfaction than males. [...]negative body image includes negative emotions and thoughts about one's own body (Tylka 2011). [...]ideal body image refers to one's preferred body type based on a group in which an individual is part of such as ethnic groups (Martin 2010). [...]body image issues including body dissatisfaction could be a risk factor for depressive mood and low self-esteem in adolescents (Paxton et al. 2006) and eating disorders (ED) (Stice and Shaw 2002, Beato-Fernández et al. 2004, Verplanken and Velsvik 2008). [...]evidence showed that negative body image significantly predicted suicidal ideation in adolescents (Brausch and Muehlenkamp 2007). [...]ethnicity may affect how these influences on body image are experienced across different cultures. [...]understanding differences on body image among various ethnicities is important to develop effective and comprehensive treatments.
