AI Article Synopsis
- Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) affects many adolescents, but there's limited research on its impact on young people, prompting this study.
- The study compared 26 adolescents with BDD to 27 with anxiety disorders and 25 without mental disorders, focusing on their perceptions of peer relationships, victimization, support, and social media use.
- Findings revealed that adolescents with BDD and anxiety perceived less peer support and reported more distress from appearance victimization, while also spending more time on social media and engaging in appearance comparisons.
Article Abstract
Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a common and debilitating disorder in adolescents, yet there is little research on the disorder in young people. The current study aimed to investigate peer relationship factors in 26 adolescents (aged 12 to 17 years) with BDD, compared to 27 adolescents with anxiety disorders and 25 adolescents without mental disorders. Participants completed self-report measures on peer appearance and general victimisation, peer support, appearance co-rumination and social media use. Adolescents with BDD and anxiety disorders perceived significantly less peer support than adolescents in the non-clinical control group. Although the frequency of perceived appearance and general victimisation did not differ significantly between groups, adolescents with BDD reported significantly more distress due to appearance victimisation than the non-clinical control group. Adolescents with BDD and anxiety disorders reported spending more time on social media than the non-clinical control group, and the BDD group engaged in significantly more online appearance comparisons than both the anxiety and control group. The relationships between BDD, victimisation, social media use, and other peer factors require further empirical investigation.
