A Meta-Analytic Review of Stand-Alone Interventions to Improve Body Image
Overview
This meta-analysis evaluates the effectiveness of stand-alone interventions designed to improve body image, analyzing 62 studies with a total of 3,846 participants. The resource reports initial findings of small-to-medium improvements in body image and reductions in beauty ideal internalization and social comparison tendencies. However, it notes that these effect sizes were inflated by bias and became unreliable or small after corrections. The review also identifies specific change techniques associated with positive outcomes and those that are contra-indicated.
