Suggestion for book chapter
Hi there. Well done on your book chapter so far, it is a very interesting topic and I cannot wait to read the finished submission. If I can offer a piece of advice, it would be to add some kind of interactive component into your chapter. This could be a quiz or even a case study, just to engage the reader that little bit further.

Hey, this is a really interesting topic! It may be useful to have reference to some theories in relation to this topic, one theory that seems relevant to this topic is Self-Discrepancy Theory. It looks at the emotional consequences of having a discrepancy between an individual's "actual self" and "ought or ideal self", such as having the perception that they should be a particular body weight but this ideal doesn't match their current actual self. There are two journal articles that might help in explaining the association between SDT and body image/emotional well being: "Self-Discrepancy Theory and Body Image" (Vartanian, 2012) (doi: 10.1016/B978-0-12-384925-0.00112-7) and "Body-Image Disturbances and Self-Discrepancy Theory: Expansion of the Body-Image Ideals Questionnaire" (Szymanski and Cash, 1995) (doi:10.1521/jscp.1995.14.2.134). I also found a journal article that may be of interest as it looks at body image across cultures, "Body mass, weight control behaviours, weight perception and emotional well being in a multiethnic sample of early adolescents" (2006) by Viner and colleagues (doi: 10.1038/sj.ijo.0803352). Good luck with your chapter! --U3143109 (discuss • contribs) 20:37, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi, this seems like a really interesting topic! I found this TEDx talk from Meredith Leston called Believing is seeing: a new perspective on body dysmorphia. She talks about its prevalence, societal effects, neurological origins, the role of personal beliefs, and relates it back to her personal struggle with anorexia nervosa. It might make a good external link for your chapter. Also, I noticed the book chapter link on your user page is taking people to the mobile version of Wikiversity. Cheers! --U3122470 (discuss • contribs) 13:50, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

Het i really like this topic because i feel like its something a lot of people can relate to! i think it might be helpful to have a case study or an example in your overview to really paint an image for the reader before they continue. you could use an example of what it feels like to have negative body image and later do another one about what its like to have a positive body image.

Image caption
Hi there, I fixed your image caption to be inline with the APA style (added figure 1), you can find a guide to APA style image captions here. I also added the code for where the multimedia assignment will be linked when it's finished. I hope this helps you. Good luck with the assignment! --Brittany (u3117719) (discuss • contribs) 03:46, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
