Summary:[...]this study highlights the relevant role played not only by negative emotions (e.g., body shame and body guilt), but also by positive ones (e.g., authentic and hubristic body pride). [...]body pride occurs when the individual has positive feelings or thoughts about different aspects of their body or appearance. [...]to redress this situation, women often have recourse to disordered eating behaviors, such as restrictive food intake or self-induced vomiting. [...]several authors have found that both self-esteem and symptoms of depression and anxiety may mediate the relationship between body dissatisfaction and disordered eating (Brechan & Kvalem, 2015; Cruz Sáez, Pascual, Wlodarczyk, & Echeburúa, 2018), and other studies have reported that symptoms of depression and anxiety may mediate the relationship between perfectionism and disordered eating (Drieberg, McEvoy, Hoyles, Shu, & Egan, 2019).
