Barker, Erin T.; Galambos, Nancy L.
Journal of Early Adolescence, v23 n2 p141-65 May 2003
Examined factors predicting body dissatisfaction for seventh- and tenth-grade girls and boys in the second wave of a 3-year study of psychosocial maturity. Identified high body mass index, greater figure management, and being teased about appearance as risk factors for girls' body dissatisfaction. Being teased was boys' only significant risk factor. Resource factors did not evidence protective effects against body dissatisfaction for girls or boys. (Author/KB)
