Objective: The present research aims to identify the relation between at risk on-line behaviour (as sexting), self-esteem and the influence of media on bodyimage. According to the literature, our hypothesis suggests that on line behavior is influenced by self-esteem and body-image perception. Design and Method: 500 female participants (range 14-25) filled out self-report questionnaires about socio-anagraphical information, health and sexual behaviour (a.e. BMI, contraception, sexual experiences). Italian versions of Sexting Behaviour Scale, Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire-3 and Multidimensional Self Concept Scale, Cyberbulliyng Questionnaire were administered too. Results: Our results suggest that there are several differences between female adolescents and young adult women, especially for what concern sexual health and body image perception. Higher scores in the Sexting Behaviour Scale were associated with higher scores in the SATAQ subscales concerning internalization, suggesting that they perceive their body as not in shape as they want it to be. Moreover, we found that having a strong self-esteem was a protective factor from the pressure of TV and Magazines. Conclusions: Our results highlighted the relation between on line and offline sexual health, self-esteem and the influence of media on self-perception. Adolescents should be considered at high risk for development of psychological and health problem related to on line behaviour. Therefore it is extremely important for prevention to focus on intervention in schools to enhance self-efficacy in girls and young women, and to develop specific programs to show the risk of the use of internet.

Body Image Perception

Puberty is a very important process for adolescents. Physiological changes and body modifications lead to great vulnerability. This vulnerability is connected to the adolescent’s perceptions of the uncertainty of outcomes due to the transformation of their infant body into an adult one. This cross-sectional study aims to better understand whether body image perception and satisfaction influence self-esteem in a sample of Italian male and female adolescents. A total of 242 adolescents (120 male and 122 female individuals) aged 11 to 17 years (M= 13.33;SD= 1.7) completed the study measures. Quantitative and qualitative instruments were used. In particular, adolescents completed self-report questionnaires to assess their pubertal status (Pubertal Developmental Scale, Peterson, Crockett, Richards, & Boxer, 1988), their body esteem (Body Esteem Scale, Mendelson, Mendelson, & White, 2001), their body image (Body Image Satisfaction Questionnaire, Rauste-von Wright, 1989), and their self-esteem (Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Rosenberg,1965). Adolescent were also invited to depict themselves to assess their body representations by completing the Drawing Me test (Confalonieri, 2011). Results from MANOVAs confirm that gender and age are two factors that influence body image perception and satisfaction. SEM analyses show that good self-esteem is reached through good body satisfaction following different trajectories in male and female individuals. Data from adolescents’ body representations obtained via drawings confirm that females are more concerned about their body changes and about the appearance of secondary sexual features than males. This research, stressing the influence of various individual factors and highlighting the psychological distress and dissatisfaction of adolescents, especially females, confirms the importance of studying this topic in order to generate preventive measures to help adolescents through this developmental task.

Before And After

Pre- and post-operative body image, self-confidence and individual and family adjustment were compared in 250 patients (aged 6 weeks to 39 years) with severe craniofacial deformities. Major congenital deformities of genetic or idiopathic etiology were present in 178 patients and 72 had tumours or other late-onset deformities. The patients and/or parents were interviewed by a child psychiatrist and a social worker as part of the routine preoperative assessment. In addition to a semistructured interview protocol, the patients and parents were asked to rate the deformity according to Hay's Scale and, when appropriate, to complete the Piers-Harris Self-esteem Inventory. One and two year post-operative re-evaluations followed the same protocol. The results indicated that the age of the patient, pre-operative expectations and origin of the decision for surgery (particularly in adolescents) are the most significant predictive factors of post-operative psychosocial improvement.

Eating disorders in young female athletes is a serious psychological and health disease which could become an early problem on Female Athlete Triad. Eating disorders are influenced by internal and external factors. This study aimed to determine the risk factors for eating disorders in young female athletes. An observational study with a crosssectional design on eighty-six young female athletes was conducted with consecutive sampling method. Subjects in this study were athletes in athletics, weightlifting, volleyball, beach volleyball, swimming, rowing, fencing, Pencak Silat, karate, taekwondo, judo, sepak takraw, table tennis, and boxing. The inclusion criteria of the subject athletes were young female athletes aged 11-21 years registered at the study site, did not consume alcohol, and voluntary. The nutritional status of the subjects was measured by their Body Mass Index for age score. Eating disorder was measured using the Eating Attitude Test-26 questionnaire and Eating Disorder Diagnostic Scale for the type of eating disorders, Rosenberg Self Esteem for Self Confidence, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-42 for stress level, and Body Shape Questionnaire for body image perception. This study used univariate analysis, bivariate analysis with chi-square and multivariate analysis with logistic regression test. The prevalence of eating disorders risk among the young female athletes in this study was approximately 37.2%, where 9.3% of subjects were bulimia, 5.8% were on the binge of eating disorder, and 22.1% subjects experienced eating disorder not otherwise specified (EDNOS). The multivariate analysis showed that the risk factor of eating disorders in young female athletes was the negative body image perception (p = <0.001; RP:10.5) and stress (p = 0.023; RP:3.5). Nutritional status, self-confidence, and type of exercise were not proven as the risk factors of eating disorder among young female athletes. Based on this study, it can be concluded that the negative body image perception and stress are the risk factors of eating disorders among young female athletes.
