Patton, Sarah C.; Beaujean, A. Alexander; Benedict, Helen E. – Developmental Psychology, 2014
The developmental trajectory of body image dissatisfaction is unclear. Researchers have investigated sociocultural and developmental risk factors; however, the literature needs an integrative etiological model. In 2009, Cheng and Mallinckrodt proposed a dual mediation model, positing that poor-quality parental bonds, via the mechanisms of…

Stella, Delfina; Pallonetto, Lucia; Palumbo, Carmen; Benvenuto, Guido – Research on Education and Media, 2022
In the post-pandemic era we're living through, it can seem as though real life resides in the virtual world -- the one driven by screens and the sedentary lifestyle that shapes a human being's posture and intellectual faculties (Vincent, 2018). As we look back over this period of enforced confinement, it is worth examining how being at home has…
