Positive Mirror Exposure for Body Image in Female Students With Disordered Eating

This study aims to examine the efficacy of repeated positive mirror exposure in improving body image and emotional affect among female university students with disordered eating symptoms. Disturbances in body image and negative affect are common among individuals experiencing disordered eating behaviors. Positive mirror exposure is a psychological intervention designed to promote body acceptance and reduce appearance-related distress by encouraging individuals to focus on neutral or positive aspects of their bodies during mirror viewing. In this study, participants undergo repeated sessions of guided positive mirror exposure. Changes in body image and affect are assessed using standardized psychological measures before and after the intervention. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to the development of accessible and effective interventions for improving body image and emotional well-being in at-risk populations.
