ABSTRACTEating behavior is acquired from infancy through sensations and experiments that stimulate the child through touch, taste and smell, building the food preferences. Such preferences consist in sensations and meanings of physical, social, psychological and cultural representations. The way of eating is related to the adolescents’ body transformation, which can be observed by the food standards adopted by this population. Adolescents exposed to the media, society, peers and family influences may undergo changes in their eating behavior, turning it vulnerable in their dietary patterns. In some extreme situation, such changes can cause eating disorders, in which the most common are anorexia and nervous bulimia. The building of properly resilience can be a protective factor against the onset of eating disorders in adolescents.RESUMOO comportamento alimentar é formado desde a infância por meio de sensações e experimentos que são oferecidos à criança através do tato, sabor e odor, constituindo as preferências alimentares. Tais preferências vão construindo sensações e significados de representações físicas, sociais, psicológicas e culturais. A alimentação relaciona-se com as alterações corporais dos adolescentes, o que pode ser visto com os padrões alimentares adotados por essa população. O adolescente, exposto às influências da mídia, da sociedade, dos pares e da família, pode sofrer modificações no seu comportamento alimentar, tornando-o vulnerável a desenvolver mudança no padrão alimentar. Em uma situação extrema, tais mudanças favorecem o surgimento dos transtornos alimentares, sendo os mais conhecidos a anorexia e bulimia nervosa. Neste sentido, o desenvolvimento da resiliência de maneira adequada pode ser um fator de proteção contra a instalação de transtornos do comportamento alimentar no adolescente.

Nutritional disorders describe restrictive and/or abusive behaviours that affect both women and men alike. The relationship with food can change in the sense of food preferences, sometimes eating healthier, and sometimes not, or eating more or losing appetite. An eating disorder is a mental disorder defined by abnormal eating habits that adversely affect a person’s physical or mental health. The cause of eating disorders is not clear. We aim to identify whether there is a correlation between personality traits and feeding disorders in young adults aged 20–25 years. To verify the work hypothesis, we applied the MCMI Personality Tracking and EDI 3 Test for Food Disorder on a 150-person group of participants aged 20–25 years. The media plays a major role in the way people see themselves. And, socio-economic status is a factor that influences eating disorders. Keywords: Cognitive problems, food disorders, personality disorders.

For many, cosmetic surgery holds the promise that one can reshape his or her body to remove perceived defects and thus have a more perfect body. However, the decision to undergo elective cosmetic surgery is not made in a vacuum, and it is easy to overlook the full range of ethical considerations surrounding cosmetic surgery. Many medical ethicists subscribe to an ethical code that centers mainly on the relationship between the doctor and patient, with a focus on respect for autonomy, nonmaleficence, beneficence, and justice. This chapter builds on this framework by extending the scope of actors to include not only the surgeon and the patient but also the media and the overall society. To illustrate this framework, the author uses the example of actress Heidi Montag, who underwent 10 different plastic surgery procedures in one day. The chapter concludes with a discussion of potential correctives for ethical failures in each of these areas.

At the end of the 1980s, representations of French basketball underwent radical changes. Basketball games lost their small-town atmosphere and became theater: grandiose shows, dramatized by the media, which became a part of French public life. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of American “basketball culture” on the representations of young French readers by analyzing the front covers of Maxi Basket, the magazine that has dominated the basketball press since it first appeared on newsstands in September 1982. The magazine clearly illustrates the movement of the French game of basketball toward theatricalization, commercialization, television coverage, and globalization, similar to the American game. The arrival of American basketball in France and its subsequent integration, a strong marker of the “Americamania” of the ’80s, was a symptom of the dialectical link that connected the manufacture of material goods with the production of cultural goods.

NBA player Latrell Sprewell’s attack on his coach, P.J. Carlesimo, in 1997, received extraordinary attention in the media. The coverage of the incident and subsequent trial revealed the media’s attitude toward violence within cultural representations of sport. This paper focuses on the way that violence associated with sport can be understood in relationship to the normalization of violence against women in American culture. Specifically, I focus on how the violent acts of athletes and coaches elicit different social responses depending on the social status of the victim. I argue that media representations, framed within narratives that construct their importance around gendered ideas of private and public spheres, work to support current race, class, and gender hierarchies. I also offer alternative ways of understanding the incident given the peculiar work setting of professional sport.

Obesity (OB) and eating disorders (ED) are two complex weight/eating conditions that share phenotypic traits, including psychopathological variables, specific environmental risk factors and biological vulnerabilities. Both OB and ED are associated with maladaptive eating styles that may be relevant to their development and maintenance. In abnormal/excessive eating behavior, a complex interplay among physiological, sensorial, psychological, social and genetic factors influence appetite, meal timing, and the quantity of food intake and food preferences. Neurobiological functioning has also been found to be altered in extreme weight conditions, namely with regards to reward processing, emotion regulation and decision making. In this presentation we will discuss the relevance of such components as well their interaction using findings from cross-sectional and longitudinal studies conducted in extreme eating/weight conditions, when compared with healthy controls. The development of innovative treatments considering neurobiological factors will also be covered.AcknowledgmentResearchers supported by FIS (PI14/290) and CIBEROBN from ISCIII.
