Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prior research indicates that depressive symptoms surge during adolescence, and alarming health reports show that rates of overweight and obesity among teens are on the rise. Harsh environmental, economic and social factors associated with inner-city living, may further undermine adolescents' psychological and physical wellbeing. Despite multiple reports associating overweight with depression among adolescents, the nature of this relationship is not yet fully understood. Existing accounts emphasize low self-esteem, peer harassment, and poor body image as critical factors mediating the relationship between overweight and depression among teens, but the precise mechanisms and behavioral pathways linking body weight with depression remain elusive. The current study sought to investigate the link between overweight and depressive symptoms in an adolescent urban sample by testing two mediational models. In the first model, a negative body self-image was investigated to examine whether it mediated the effect of overweight on depressive symptoms. In the second model, pro-inflammatory biomarkers (IL-6, CRP, TNF-a) were examined as mediators of the relationship between overweight and depressive symptoms in overweight adolescents, beyond body dissatisfaction. Our results indicated that adolescent girls exhibited higher BMI, more depressive symptoms and lower body satisfaction than boys. While African-American adolescents were more likely to have higher BMI, it was Caucasian participants who were more dissatisfied with their bodies. However, we did not find a link between BMI and depressive symptoms. Additionally, despite significant association of higher BMI with inflammatory biomarkers (IL-6, CRP) and association of C-reactive protein with lower body-esteem, increased inflammation was not related to depressive symptoms in our sample of early to middle adolescence. This study addresses important issues related to health disparities among racially diverse, vulnerable adolescent populations, demonstrating gender and racial gaps in mental and physical health areas. It also highlights the importance of considering physical and psychological consequences when treating both depression and overweight.

Book excerpt: Research shows that the association between depression and obesity may be strongest among the most obese individuals. Appearance is a central evaluative dimension for females in Western culture, therefore body dissatisfaction can contribute directly to depression. Adolescents and females are at greater risk for self-esteem problems because body image is an important component of their self-esteem. The present study will add to the existing literature on adolescent obesity by examining the associations between family functioning, self-esteem levels, and depression in a self-selected sample of female adolescents who attended a weight-loss program. More specifically, this study will investigate how high and low levels of self-esteem and family functioning affect depression levels. Reasons for such an investigation are to increase the awareness of the effects and causes of depression levels among obese children and adolescents. A total of 45 obese adolescents with a mean age of 13.32 years participated in the initial evaluations (baseline measures). Fifty-three percent of the participants were Caucasian, 22% were Hispanic, 20% were African American, and 4% were multi-racial. The mean BMI was 34.04 kg, and ranged from 25.80 to 56.17. A multiple regression analysis was conducted to determine a relationship between body image and depressive symptoms and between self-esteem and depressive symptoms. The analysis produced a significant relationship between self-esteem and depressive symptoms, t(39) = -7.20, p .001 and between body image and depressive symptoms, t(39) = 2.52, p

This book was released on 2006 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This exploratory analysis examines the relationship between obesity and several psychological variables (self-esteem, perceived social support, weight locus of control, and life satisfaction). Participants completed surveys for each variable and their height and weight were measured to calculate their Body Mass Index (BMI). Results demonstrated that obese adolescents rated their self-esteem related to their bodies significantly lower than the other weight groups. No significant differences were found between adolescent weight groups on the other psychological variables. An implication of the effect obesity is having on body specific self-esteem is discussed. Also, discussion of why weight groups did not differ on the other variables of weight locus of control, perceived social support, and life satisfaction are provided.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Body image is a significant issue for the majority of adolescents. Anxieties relating to body image can be crippling across both genders, their debilitating effects sometimes leading to mental health problems. This important book is the first of its kind to focus specifically on adolescents, providing a comprehensive overview of the biological, psychological and socio-cultural factors relating to the development of body image. It also provides a detailed review of the measures which can be taken to address body dissatisfaction. Discussing the role of culture, family, peers, schools, sport and media in stimulating a negative body image, the book also examines the different challenges faced by girls and boys as they grow. Eating disorders and body change strategies are also addressed, as well as the challenges faced by youngsters affected by conditions causing visible differences, such as hair loss in cancer patients.The book also presents original research, including the results from a large Australian study of the body image and associated health behaviours of adolescent boys, and the results of a study of current teaching practices relating to body image. Adolescence and Body Image will be ideal reading for students and researchers from a variety of fields, including developmental, health, and social psychology, sociology, and cultural and health studies. Professionals working with young people, whether in education, health promotion or any other allied discipline will also find this book an invaluable resource.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For adolescents, body weight can be a complicated and sometimes difficult issue. Though the majority of adolescents report being aware of normative gendered body ideals, how adolescents incorporate or reject these ideals into their own weight-control decisions or sense of self can vary dramatically, largely in reaction to their social experiences with body ideals in the local, immediate contexts of their daily lives. The role of one such local context--schools--has remained largely unexplored in existing literature. Using the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health) and multi-level modeling, I investigate the role high school weight cultures play in the development of adolescents' weight-loss behaviors, overweight self-perceptions, and self-esteem. I employ social comparison theories, specifically the idea of who may serve as a likely target for social comparison--general others, similar others, or high status others--to develop hypotheses about which aspects of the school context may be associated with various aspects of adolescents' body weight. Overall, my results indicate that there is a strong relationship between adolescents' weight-loss behavior, self-perception and self-esteem and the weight-related culture in the school. For example, adolescent boys, on average, are significantly less likely to report perceiving themselves as overweight or engaging in weight-loss behaviors when they attend schools where there are many overweight boys in the student body. I also find that there is some variation within the school in terms of which peers are most salient to adolescents' behaviors and self-perceptions. Both boys and girls are particularly impacted by the values and behaviors of similar others, when similarity is defined by same-sex adolescents of a similar body size. For example, on average, overweight adolescent girls are significantly more likely to report engaging in weight-loss behaviors when a higher proportion of overweight girls in their school also are engaged in weight-loss behaviors. The same pattern is found among adolescent boys. Overall, these findings suggest that meso-level social contexts--like schools--may be particularly important to how individuals incorporate macro-level beliefs or values --like gendered body ideals--into their own behaviors and self-concepts.

This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Obesity in childhood and adolescence has reached epidemic proportions in all industrialized countries around the world. Its impact on individual lives as well as on health economics has to be recognized by physicians and the public alike. Among the most common consequences of obesity in the adolescent are hypertension, dyslipidemia, back pain and psychosocial problems. Therapeutic strategies include psychological and family therapy, lifestyle/behavior modification and nutrition education. The role of regular exercise and exercise programs is emphasized. Surgical procedures and drugs used in adult obesity are still not generally recommended for obese adolescents. This book aims to increase physicians knowledge and understanding of obesity in childhood and adolescence as well as to further public awareness of the health burden and economic dimension of obesity at a young age. Several chapters deliver insights into the basic understanding of which factors contribute to or prevent the development of overweight and obesity in young people. Other contributions provide tools for the clinician to manage the care of the child and adolescent with overweight/obesity. In addition, knowledge from the latest scientific studies on the molecular biology of obesity is also presented.

Book excerpt: Chapter 1 Introduction and Review of Literature The past century has seen various developments in the area of body image. Researchers and scholars from psychological, medical and sociological perspectives have made numerous attempts to theorize and understand the human embodiment experience of body image from various perspectives. Consequently, body image has come to be viewed as multidimensional construct, encompassing concepts like body esteem, body dissatisfaction, body image, weight misperceptions, body distortion, and many more. Researchers expressed particular interest in body weight estimation and perception. Weight perception and misperception has been found to be an important determinant of body dissatisfaction. The period of adolescence is characterized by major physical and psychological changes, resulting in identity development and independence (Erikson, 1968; Cheung, Ip, Lam, & Bibby, 2007). Researchers have found vulnerabilities in identity or selfconcept during these formative years, predisposes the adolescent to body image disturbances. The current study makes an attempt to understand the relationship between these self-concept vulnerabilities, weight perceptions, and body shape dissatisfaction. The current chapter makes an attempt to elucidate the various theoretic perspectives of body image along with various research findings on weight misperception, body dissatisfaction, and the relationship of self-concept with these two variables. 1.1 A brief history of body image Dating back to 1903, body image only focused on self-image of individuals with mental retardation and brain damage. The neuropathological forms of body image experience were the areas of interest like "phantom limb", "autotopagnosia", "hemiasomatognosia," and "anosognosia" (Fisher, 1990). Interest in psychology and sociology of body image only emerged with the works of Paul Schilder in the first half of the 20th century. He described body image as "picture of our own body which,

This book was released on 2010 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stigma, self-esteem and self-efficacy, under-investigated psychosocial factors, may be used to combat the overweight and obesity epidemic among African American adolescents (AA). Literature that examines psychosocial factors and weight status typically focuses on girls. Omitting examinations of these factors in males thwarts overall understanding of the relationship between psychosocial factors and weight status. The aims of the research are to determine the relationship between psychosocial factors and weight status among AA adolescents and identify gender differences. A convenience sample of 190 AA (average age 16 years) high school juniors was used for this investigation. Students were asked to complete surveys on stigma (teasing), self-esteem, and self-efficacy. Covariate, lifestyle factors of smoking and team sports participation were also considered. Weight status was represented by BMI for age, using CDC guidelines, computed from self-reported heights and weights. Cross-tabulations and multiple logistic regression analyses evaluated unadjusted and adjusted relationships between these variables and weight status. There was a 45% response rate. The average BMI for age placed the study sample in the 68th percentile. Over half of the sample participated in team sports and only 4% were smokers. Self esteem and self efficacy were not found to be significantly associated with weight status. Stigma (teasing) and weight status were significantly correlated (p
