This article talks about the associations between self-esteem, motive satisfaction, and
body weight in acute and recovered inpatients with anorexia nervosa and in healthy
controls. This is the first study to show an association between decreased body weight
and increased self-esteem in AN patients. These preliminary results strengthen the
assumption that low body weight may foster self-esteem in patients with acAN, mainly
through the satisfaction of an achievement motive. This article will help teenagers know
more about how to be healthy and know more about the consequences of trying to loss
weight without professional help. Teenagers will have the information of what the cost is
for being skinny or have any of these problems.

This experimental study examined a brief video intervention identifying the artificial
nature of media images could protect adolescent girls from negative media exposure
effects and body dissatisfaction. Girls were assigned to one of four experimental
conditions. An intervention video was shown to half of the girls mmediately before they
viewed ultra-thin models or control images. This video will prevents girls from making
damaging social comparisons with media models. Also, media literacy interventions may
be useful tools in protecting young girls from body dissatisfaction.

This article talks about the self-esteem survey developed by Coopersmith and the Body
Cathexis Scale developed by Secord and Jourard were used in the study. This explains
that there is a significantly stronger relationship between self-esteem and body image in
the athletic adolescent girls compared with the sedentary girls. This will help my research
to understand the relationship between self-esteem and body image in female adolescents
who are athletes or nonathletes. Also, this will give make teenagers realize that there are
athletes who have self-esteem.

This article talks about how puberty is a very important process for adolescents.
Physiological changes and body modifications lead to great vulnerability. This
vulnerability is connected to the adolescent's perceptions of the uncertainty of outcomes
due to the transformation of their infant body into an adult one. This information will
help my research to make understand teenagers that they are just growing. They are just
adolescents and their body is changing and that even famous people had that bad time in
their life.

This article is about how physical, neurological and psychological changes are often
experienced differently by male and female adolescents. Positive self-esteem, emotional
well-being, school achievements, and family connectedness are considered as protective
factors against health-compromising behaviors. This article focused on self-esteem, self-
image, body image, media literacy and cognitive dissonance. This will help me to
understande why is that compared to boys, girls have a higher self-esteem, being more
contingent by appearance, and their self-image was more influenced by popularity,
appearance, interpersonal communication and admired people. Also, not only were girls
more dissatisfied with their body, but they were more active in attempts to become or
remain thin.

The author of this article talks about how self-harm is common in adolescents, but it is
often unreported and undetected. This study investigated whether a targeted analysis of
negative emotions and self-esteem could identify young adolescents at risk of self-harm
in community settings. Methods: Data were collected as part of a clinical trial from
young people in school years 8-11 (aged 12-16) at eight UK secondary schools. This
analysis on negative emotions and self-esteem helped me to understand how is that not
only teenagers suffer from self-esteem, but also children suffer from this.

This study talks about the relationship between pubertal timing and self-esteem, and the
mediating role of body-image, parentadolescent interaction and peer support within this

based on PDS. Perceived early maturation was related to lower self-esteem in girls, and
higher self-esteem in boys. This article will help my research to know how is that because
of puberty girls start getting a lower self-esteem and boy a higher self-esteem.
