The Perception of Body Image in
Disordered Eating
Prof Martin Tovée
School of Psychology
University of Lincoln
• DSM 5, criterion 3: Disturbance in the way one's body
weight or shape is experienced, undue influence of body
shape and weight on self-evaluation, or persistent lack of
recognition of the seriousness of the current low body
weight.
• Two modalities of body-image dysfunction have been
distinguished:
1) Perceptual body-size distortion
2) Attitudinal / cognitive-evaluative dissatisfaction
BODY IMAGE DISTORTION
Anorexia Nervosa
Person has difficulty accurately
gauging body size. Eating-
disordered individuals estimate
their size as larger than is
objectively true.
Perceptual distortion
Patient may estimate size
accurately, but is extremely
dissatisfied with size, shape, or
some other aspect of body
appearance.

• Villages with no electricity and
no TV access
• Villages with limited electricity
and limited TV access
• Villages with electricity and full
TV access
• The government is rolling out
electricity to villages currently
with no electricity
Nicaragua Study
Two designs:
• Cross-Sectional – looking
across villages with
different levels of media
access
• Longitudinal – looking at
changes over time in
villages which are being
electrified.
Nicaragua Study
• Adult women – their
perception of their actual
and ideal body
• Adult men – their
perception of women’s
bodies and their ideal
partner
• Adolescent children –
their perception of their
actual and ideal body
