The interplay among BMI, body dissatisfaction, body appreciation, and body image inflexibility in Chinese young adults: A network perspective J. Context. Behav. Sci. (IF 5.138) Pub Date : 2023-07-20 Guangsheng Liang, Wesley R. Barnhart, Yawei Cheng, Tom Lu, Jinbo He
The co-occurrence and interplay between body mass index (BMI), body dissatisfaction, body appreciation, and body image inflexibility have yet to be fully understood. To address this gap, we employed network analysis (NA), a statistical approach that can uncover complex patterns of relationships between variables and identify the core symptoms of the network. A regularized partial correlation network

Does the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire measure the same constructs before and after ACT-based treatment? Examination of the longitudinal measurement invariance of the 24-item FFMQ-SF J. Context. Behav. Sci. (IF 5.138) Pub Date : 2023-07-03 Holly Frances Levin-Aspenson, Russell M. Marks, Kristy L. Dalrymple, Mark Zimmerman
Violations of longitudinal measurement invariance (LMI) suggest “response shifts” in individuals’ understanding and appraisal of items over time and result in misinterpretation of observed changes in outcome measures. These concerns are crucial to the validity of outcome measures and are particularly relevant in examining the effectiveness of mindfulness and other process-based interventions. In the
