Principles of Health: Self-Esteem & Body Image
Healthy self-esteem and a positive body image are directly connected to a person’s self-worth, their confidence, and their overall mental health. Someone who has high self-esteem is more likely to seek out healthy relationships and have positive identity development. As important as self-esteem is, social media and the many ways to compare yourself to others online, makes developing healthy self-esteem and a positive body image more challenging than ever.
This volume introduces students and researchers to the fundamentals of self-esteem and body image, and gives readers tools to understand their broader impact on mental health, watch for warning signs, and help develop positive outcomes. Entries explore topics such as social media comparisons, pressure to meet beauty or weight standards, academic and peer pressure, bullying and cyberbullying, identity and belonging, family and peer relationships, media and cultural expectations, and more.
Principles of Health: Self-Esteem & Body Image begins with a comprehensive Editor’s Introduction to the topics of self-esteem and body image specifically and their broader impact on mental health. Following the Introduction, Principles of Health: Self-Esteem & Body Image includes 150 entries arranged to provide readers with ease of navigation through this multi-faceted topic.
Each essay includes valuable top matter—Category, Definition, and Key Terms—and ends with a helpful Further Information section. Photos and illustrations enhance many of the entries. In addition, Principles of Health: Self-Esteem & Body Image includes helpful back matter, such as a comprehensive Bibliography, a Glossary, a list of Organizations, and a Subject Index.
Principles of Health: Self-Esteem & Body Image provides a comprehensive and accessible resource for high school students, undergraduates, as well as general readers interested in learning more about how to develop and maintain healthy self-esteem, strengthen their body positivity, build supportive relationships, recognize personal strengths, and set healthy goals.
