問題詳情

Questions 168~171 refer to the following article.
⸺[1]⸺
Your body image is what you think and how you feel when you look in the mirror or when you picture yourself in your mind. This includes how you feel about your appearance; what you think about your body itself, such as your height and weight; and how you feel within your own skin. Body image also includes how you behave as a result of your thoughts and feelings. You may have a positive or negative body image. Body image is not always related to your weight or size.

⸺[2]⸺
Body image development is affected by cultural images and the influence of family, peers, and others. A positive body image contributes to enhanced psychological adjustment (less depression, positive self-worth, life satisfaction, less interpersonal anxiety, fewer eating disorders). Body image is not fixed. Our body experiences change as we grow older, and each stage in our life is associated with body image markers. Maintaining a positive body image is a lifelong process.

⸺[3]⸺
Past events and circumstances can cause you to have a negative body image, including:

● Being teased or bullied as a child for how you looked
● Being told you’re ugly, too fat, or too thin or having other aspects of your appearance criticized
● Seeing images or messages in the media (including social media) that make you feel bad about how you look
● Having underweight, overweight, or obesity

⸺[4]⸺
Your body image plays a role in how your kids see themselves. You can help your children develop healthy body images by:
● Making sure your children understand that weight gain and growth are normal parts of development, especially during puberty
● Allowing your children to make decisions about food while making sure that plenty of healthy and nutritious meals and snacks are available
● Complimenting your children more on their efforts, talents, accomplishments, and personal values and less on their looks
● Limiting screen time. In addition to getting less exercise, kids who watch TV shows or movies or play online games often see unrealistic female bodies
