Body functionality describes everything that the body is able to do, across diverse domains (e.g., bodily senses, creative endeavours). Nearly a decade ago, leading scholars identified research on body functionality as a priority for the body image field. The field has responded, as shown by the recent rise of body functionality research. We considered this an opportune time to (a) define body functionality (what it is and is not); (b) present theoretical frameworks of body functionality; (c) articulate first-generation and current measures relating to body functionality; (d) offer functionality-focused body image interventions that can improve appreciation for one’s body functionality (and body image more broadly); (e) summarise additional areas of research related to body functionality and positive body image; and (f) provide considerations and directions for future research and interventions incorporating body functionality. Research has underscored body functionality as a valuable construct with respect to positive body image and well-being, particularly when individuals appreciate what their bodies can do and conceptualise their body functionality holistically. Yet, the experience of body functionality is nuanced across social identities. Overall, the field has greatly advanced knowledge about body functionality, and we are excited to see the next generation of research that emerges.

身体功能:文献综述

身体功能描述了身体在不同领域中能够做的所有事情(例如,身体感觉,创造性工作)。大约十年前,顶尖学者将对人体功能的研究确定为人体图像领域的优先领域。最近身体机能研究的兴起表明了这一领域的反应。我们认为这一个时机(一)定义的身体功能(它不是); (b)提出身体功能的理论框架;(c)阐明与身体功能有关的第一代和当前措施;(d)提供以功能为重点的身体形象干预措施,以提高人们对身体功能的认识(以及更广泛的身体形象);(e)总结与身体功能和正面身体形象有关的其他研究领域;(f)为结合人体功能的未来研究和干预措施提供考虑和指导。研究强调身体功能是积极的身体形象和幸福的一种有价值的构造,尤其是当个人欣赏他们的身体可以做什么并且从整体上概念化他们的身体功能时。但是,身体功能的体验在各种社会身份中都有细微差别。总体,
