Abstract
The findings suggest that for males, thoughts about dieting may actually be associated with greater state self-esteem, which may indirectly predict lower body shape concerns. In contrast, for females, when thoughts about dieting activate body shape concerns, poorer state self-esteem may follow. These results highlight important, potentially gender-specific relationships between thoughts about dieting, body shape concerns, and state self-esteem.
