No full textThe Light and Shadow of Smartphone Applications for Eating Disorders: Commentary on Cruz et al. (2025)
No full textSmartphone applications (apps) represent promising tools to overcome common barriers to treatment in individuals within the Eating Disorders (EDs) spectrum, thanks to their constant availability and cost-effectiveness. In this context, Cruz et al. (2025) conducted the first meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating the efficacy of app-based interventions for EDs. Their findings provided evidence supporting the use of app-based interventions over control conditions in reducing ED symptoms and risk factors, although effect sizes were generally small. Despite these promising findings, caution is needed due to methodological concerns in the included trials, such as limited sample diversity, inconsistent follow-up durations, and the frequent use of waitlist controls. Notably, no significant effects were observed for key ED dimensions such as body dissatisfaction/disturbance and drive for thinness, pointing to the need for interventions grounded in robust body image theory and frameworks. Furthermore, the current evidence does not adequately address the efficacy of these apps across different populations, including adolescents, gender-diverse individuals, and those from varied racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds. To maximize the clinical utility of these tools, future research should prioritize methodologically rigorous trials, adopt inclusive and intersectional frameworks, and expand evaluative outcomes beyond symptom reduction to include multiple indicators of psychological flourishing. These directions are essential to unlock the full potential of app-based interventions for EDs across diverse populations

Full text linkExposure to Instagram content and photo manipulation behaviors may negatively impact women’s body image. However, some studies did not find support for this assumption. The current study aimed to explore this issue further. The first objective was to investigate associations between self-reported frequency of following Instagram beauty-related and body positive-related accounts and content and body image dimensions (i.e., Body Dysmorphic Disorder [BDD] symptoms, body appreciation, and body functionality appreciation). To achieve this, we controlled for the role of Instagram appearance comparison and internalization of general attractiveness ideal. As for the second objective, the influence of Instagram filter use was assessed: two groups of Instagram filter users (high-frequency and low-frequency users) and non-users were compared on dimensions of Instagram use and body image. Findings from a sample of 149 female undergraduates demonstrated that self-reported frequency of following body positive Instagram content was associated with higher levels of BDD symptoms even after controlling for appearance comparison and internalization of general attractiveness ideal. Conversely, the self-reported frequency of following beauty content was not. Moreover, positive body image dimensions were not associated with self-reported frequency of following any Instagram content. High-frequency Instagram filter users reported a higher frequency of following beauty content and higher levels of appearance comparison and internalization of general attractiveness ideal compared to non-users. However, these two groups did not differ on negative and positive body image dimensions. Finally, low-frequency Instagram filter users did not differ on any investigated dimensions from the other two groups
