The object ive of the experiment was to demonstrate biased recall and judgment amongindivid uals with high levels of dispositional body image anxiety towards appearance-rel atedinformation. It was hypothesized that those with high levels of dispositiona l body image anxietywould recall more appearance-related information than those who have low body image anxiety.Numerous studies were cited in relation to and s upport of the study. Being teased aboutyour appearance as a child has been stron gly linked to future body image disturbance (Cash,1995; Cattarin & Thompson, 199 4; Heinberg, 1996). Receiving nonverbal feedback has beencorrelated with body im age dissatisfaction, this is also referred to as reflected appraisal theory(Cool ey, 1922; Felson, 1985; Mead, 1934). Biased recall of information is emotionally relevantto the individual (Williamson, 1996).NOTE: THE REVIEW OF PAST LITERATUR ESHOULD INCLUDE THE LINK BETWEEN THE STUDIES CITED AND THEHYPOTHESIS OF THE STUD Y.MethodA group of 184 undergraduate students from psychology classes were asked to participatein this experiment in exchange for extra credit points. The parti cipants were randomly selectedinto each of the studys conditions. The participant s were given a test (Physical AppearanceState-Trait Anxiety Scale) prior to the video. This was a self-report inventory that asked theparticipants to rate how a nxious (high/low) they felt about weight related issues and non-weightrelated is sues. High and low body image was measured as a participant independent variable .NOTE: MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE PARTICIPANTS INCLUDING ANY Body Image and Recall 2SALIENT DEMOGRAPHIC VARIABLES IS NEEDED. EXAMPLE: GENDER, AGE,ETC.The independent, or manipulated, variable was body image anxiety measur ed by twovideo conditions. One group watched a 4-minute video in which a convers ation took placebetween a male and a female. The conversation and facial express ions were as neutral aspossible. The male in the video made comments in referenc e to the females appearance (i.e.,have you been gaining weight?) and the female con tinued in the conversation with a neutralfacial expression as if she did not hea r the comments. The second group viewed the same video,but without the weight-re lated comments. Both groups were given 12 minutes to recallinformation. The depe ndent variable was type of recall. Recall information was coded as generalinform ation, feedback on physical appearance, or emotional responses.ResultsThe result s indicate that participants with high body image anxiety had a greater numberof emotional responses than those with low body image anxiety when watching the vi deo withweight-related comments. There was a significant difference in type of r ecall between high andlow body image anxiety among participants watching the vid eo with weight-related comments.There was not a significant difference in type o f recall among participants with either low or highbody image anxiety who watche d the video without the weight-related comments.NOTE:MORE DETAIL IS NEEDED ON IN WHICH RECALL CONDITIONS SHOWED ASIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE.DiscussionThe hypothesis stated that participants with high body image would recall moreappearance-relat ed information compared to those with low body image anxiety. Hypothetically Body Image and Recall 3speaking, both high body anxiety groups would show the sa me result regardless of the videoshown. The results of the experiment showed tha t there was a difference in type of informationrecalled between high and low bod y image after watching a video with weight-related comments.On the other hand, t he results of the experiment showed that there was not a difference in type of i nformation recalled between high and low body image after watching a video witho ut weight-related comments.NOTE: THE DISCUSSION OF RESULTS NEEDS TO LINK MORETIG HTLY TO THE HYPOTHESIS AND NOT A SIMPLE RESTATEMENT OF THERESULTS. ALSO, A DISCU
