[Body image dissatisfaction in the light of alexithymia and self-development].
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The development of the self is an important factor in body image disorders. The child expects the parents to satisfy the narcissistic needs (mirroring, idealization, twinship needs). Disturbances in self-development can result in the person experiencing himself through the physical self, and the ability to recognize and express emotions is impaired. The body is given a prominent role, whereby changes to the body are associated with major identity changes and it also becomes a means of emotional expression. The aim of our study is to explore the possible relationship between the deficits in self-development and body image dissatisfaction and the role of alexithymic traits in this. METHODS: The sample consisted of individuals aged 18 years and older with no psychiatric history (n=131). The Self Psychology Questionnaire translated into Hungarian was used to assess self-development and narcissistic needs, the Toronto Alexithymia Scale to assess alexithymia, and the Body Attitudes Test for women and the Muscle Appearance Satisfaction Scale for men to assess body image dissatisfaction. Data analysis was performed using correlations, linear regression analysis and mediation analysis. RESULTS: Regarding the whole sample the relationship between body image dissatisfaction and alexithymia was confirmed (B=0.41, p<0.001). Regarding the subsample of women, the narcissistic needs had an indirect effect on body image, which contributes to body image dissatisfaction through the mediating effect of alexithymia (B=0.51, p<0.001). Regarding the subsample of men, the dissatisfaction of the need for idealization predicted body image dissatisfaction (B=0.77, p=0.017). In their case, the mediating effect of alexithymia was not detected. CONCLUSIONS: While for men the dissatisfaction of the need for idealization necessary for adequate self-development is itself a factor in body image dissatisfaction, for women inadequate self-development is associated with inadequate emotional development, which is associated with body dissatisfaction.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
