Birth weight is a robust predictor of valued life course outcomes, emphasizing the importance of prenatal development.

The current study addresses this paucity, focusing on 3,129 university students seeking clinical services. Having a family…

This study tested this hypothesis in relation to body image (BI) trajectories in a sample of 1,006 adolescents (M[subscript age] = 12.6, including 541 males and 465 females) across a 4-year…

Method: Data were drawn from a randomized effectiveness trial in which 306 female high school students…

Corning, Alexandra F.; Krumm, Angela J.; Smitham, Lora A. – Journal of Counseling Psychology, 2006
On the basis of predictions from social comparison theory (L. Festinger, 1954) and informed by findings from the social comparison and eating disorder literatures, hypotheses were tested regarding the social comparison behaviors of women with eating disorder symptoms and their asymptomatic peers. Results indicated differentiating social-cognitive…
