Nelson, Sarah C.; Kling, Johanna; Wängqvist, Maria; Frisén, Ann; Syed, Moin – Developmental Psychology, 2018
Although Erikson (1968) originally conceptualized identity development as a process of becoming at home in one's body, little work has been done linking identity development and research on the body. This study examines how trajectories of the development of body esteem over time are related to young people's sense of identity and psychological…

Background: Body satisfaction interventions have typically been multifaceted and targeted at clinical populations.

Vasilenko, Sara A.; Rama, Nilam; Lefkowitz, Eva S. – Journal of Adolescence, 2011
