This book was released on 2010 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previous research on the Objectification Theory suggests that woman may experience self-objectification and body dissatisfaction. Research has demonstrated that yoga is associated with lower self-objectification and lower body dissatisfaction (Daubenmeir, 2005; Impett, Daubenmeir, & Hirschman, 2006) and thus may be a key intervention toward increasing body satisfaction among woman. The purpose of this between and within groups repeated measures experimental study is to determine whether or not a yoga program has positive effects on decreasing body dissatisfaction, increasing body satisfaction, decreasing self-objectification, and increasing mindfulness of the body in college women. Volunteers experiencing dissatisfaction with their bodies and who have zero to limited yoga experience based on their self-report were recruited for the study. Participants were comprised of 32 college students. Participants completed a survey packet consisting of the following measures: (a) a demographics questionnaire (Clancy, unpublished dissertation, 2008); (b) The Self-Objectification Questionnaire (soq; Noll & Fredrickson, 1998); (c) The Surveillance subscale of the Objectified Body Consciousness (obc) Scale (McKinley & Hyde, 1996); (d) The Body Areas Satisfaction subscale of the Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire (mbsrq-bas; Brown, Cash, & Mikulka, 1990; (e) The cbbsm (Clancy, unpublished dissertation); (f) The Eating Disorder Inventory-Body Dissatisfaction subscale (edi-bd; Garner et al., 1983); and (g) a modified version of the Frieburg Mindfulness Inventory (Walach, Buchheld, Buttenmuller, Kleinknecht, & Schmidt, 2006). Participants were randomly assigned to either yoga treatment (Group 1a) or the waitlist control group (Group 2a). Following ten weeks of participation in the waitlist control group, participants from Group 2a then self-selected for a yoga intervention (Group 2b). Additionally, a follow-up interview was conducted with 12 participants. Most measures were found to be strongly correlated. A repeated measures analysis was conducted combining data from Group 1a and 2b, revealing that participants demonstrated significantly lower within group body dissatisfaction scores and significantly higher body satisfaction scores at post test than at pre test. Participants in Group 1a alone demonstrated significantly higher within group body satisfaction scores at post test than at pre test. Six main qualitative themes emerged for participants after 10 weeks of yoga treatment: Acceptance, Awareness and Spirituality, Mind- Body Connection, Body Compassion, Mindfulness of the Self, and Physical and Functional Body. Qualitative and quantitative findings lend support for the utilization of yoga treatment for women with body image issues in a non-clinical setting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For five decades, negative body image has been a major focus of study due to its association with psychological and social morbidity, including eating disorders. However, more recently the body image construct has broadened to include positive ways of living in the body, enabling greater understanding of embodied well-being, as well as protective factors and interventions to guide the prevention and treatment of eating disorders. Handbook of Positive Body Image and Embodiment is the first comprehensive, research-based resource to address the breadth of innovative theoretical concepts and related practices concerning positive ways of living in the body, including positive body image and embodiment. Presenting 37 chapters by world-renowned experts in body image and eating behaviors, this state-of-the-art collection delineates constructs of positive body image and embodiment, as well as social environments (such as families, peers, schools, media, and the Internet) and therapeutic processes that can enhance them. Constructs examined include positive embodiment, body appreciation, body functionality, body image flexibility, broad conceptualization of beauty, intuitive eating, and attuned sexuality. Also discussed are protective factors, such as environments that promote body acceptance, personal safety, diversity, and activism, and a resistant stance towards objectification, media images, and restrictive feminine ideals. The handbook also explores how therapeutic interventions (including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Dissonance, and many more) and public health and policy initiatives can inform scholarly, clinical, and prevention-based work in the field of eating disorders.

Download or read book Embodiment and the Treatment of Eating Disorders The Body as a Resource in Recovery written by Catherine Cook-Cottone and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2020-09-22 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tools for the clinician to help clients turn their bodies into resources for healing from eating disorders. Embodiment refers to the lived attunement of the inner and outer experience of self. Cognitions are aligned with the sensing and feeling body. Further, in an attuned experience of self, positive embodiment is maintained by internally focused tools, such as self-care practices that support physiological health, emotional well-being, and effective cognitive functioning. For those who suffer from eating disorders, this is not the case; in fact, the opposite is true. Disordered thinking, an unattuned sense of self, and negative cognitions abound. Turning this thinking around is key to client resilience and treatment successes. Catherine Cook-Cottone provides tools for clinicians working with clients to restore their healthy selves and use their bodies as a positive resource for healing and long-term health. The book goes beyond traditional treatments to talk about mindful self-care, mindful eating, yoga, and other practices designed to support self-regulation.

Download or read book A Case Study to Explore Women s Body Image Experiences Practicing Hot Yoga written by Hannah Rose and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yoga is an embodying activity associated with positive body image; however, hot yoga may have differing impacts on body image and embodiment than traditional yoga, as several features of hot yoga differ from traditional yoga (e.g., heat, clothing worn, emphasis on fitness) and may influence women's body image and practice of hot yoga. Using an exploratory case study approach, one hot yoga studio (Modo Yoga St. Catharines) was chosen for this study. The research questions pertaining to this case were: 1) In what ways is body image related to women's practice of hot yoga? 2) What are women's experiences practicing hot yoga at Modo Yoga studio St. Catharines? Ten women were recruited from the yoga studio and interviewed about their body image and experience practicing yoga at Modo Yoga. Four women, with differing experiences and body image, completed a follow-up interview to further clarify their experiences. Overall, it was found that women tended to emphasize the fitness aspects of hot yoga, which impacted their body image and undermined some benefits of yoga. However, there were also positive effects on body image and mental health as a result of the practice. Case-specific features, specifically related to the physical characteristics of the studio (e.g., large mirrors in the studio) and the social environment within the studio (i.e., instructor cues and other members) impacted women's body image both positively and negatively. Further, some differences based on age and experience at the studio were also identified, with long-term members (6 months+) experiencing more psychological benefits (e.g., mindfulness, feeling less anxious, body acceptance, body responsiveness), with the physical challenges of hot yoga being an additional benefit. Overall, hot yoga had a complex impact on women's body image and experience practicing hot yoga through a larger focus on the fitness elements of the practice.
Download or read book Body Image written by Sarah Grogan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-11 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fully revised and updated, Body Image 4th Edition provides a comprehensive summary of research on body image in men, women, and children drawing together research findings from the fields of psychology, sociology, and gender studies. The new edition presents all the latest research on body image including work on technology and body image, interventions to reduce body dissatisfaction, and links between body image, BMI, and clothing availability. Including data from interviews and focus groups with men, women, and children who have spoken about body image and its impact on the rest of their lives, the book explores a range of important contemporary issues, including the effects of social media and selfie-taking on body image, the work of activists and academics who are trying to change how the fashion industry presents women’s bodies, and new work investigating impacts of whole-body scanning technology and game-play avatars on appearance concern. Reflecting the direction of research on body image from a range of disciplines since the previous edition, the book also includes an increased focus on body image in men, looking at studies on pressures to be more muscular and toned, and evaluating the possible impacts on health-related behaviours such as exercise and body-related drug use. The only sole-authored text in the field, and integrating work from several disciplines, this is essential reading for students and researchers in psychology, sociology, computing science, sport and exercise science, and gender studies, with an interest in reducing body dissatisfaction in men, women and children.
Download or read book The Effects Of Therapeutic Yoga In Women With Cancer Undergoing Radiation Therapy written by Sanghee Kim and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of yoga on anxiety, depression, quality of life, spiritual health, vital signs, and body composition in female cancer patients. Methods: A one-group, experimental, simple, interrupted time-series design was applied with 27 women with cancer undergoing radiotherapy. Self-reported questionnaires, vital signs, and body compositions were measured before and after the intervention and at four-week follow-up. As an intervention, eight sessions of therapeutic yoga were provided over four weeks. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics and repeated measures analysis of variance. Results: Yoga intervention was effective for improving partial quality of life, including physical and psychological well-being, in women with cancer undergoing radiotherapy. It helped to decrease anxiety and depression, diastolic pressure, and body fat mass in both arms. However, yoga did not impact spiritual health, or body composition in areas other than the arms. Conclusion: Based on these results, a continuous therapeutic yoga intervention should be considered to improve physical and psychological function in patients undergoing radiation therapy. Moreover, continuous research should be concurrently organized to determine the exact dose and behavioral outcome indicators of the effects of yoga.
