TL;DR
The findings from Study 1 indicated that level of obesity and perceived weight, but not maturational timing, had a directional influence on the other variables, and teasing history was significantly related to the development of body image and eating disturbance.
Abstract
These findings offer important insights into possible causal sequences for the development of body image and eating disturbance.

Results demonstrate that over repeated samples, model modifications may be very inconsistent and cross-validation results may behave erratically, leading to skepticism about generalizability of models resulting from data-driven modifications of an initial model.

This article describes a questionnaire measure of self-image designed for young adolescents that represents a downward extension of the Offer Self-Image Questionnaire and utilizes nine scales from that instrument: Emotional Tone, Impulse Control, Body Image, Peer Relationships, Family relationships, Mastery and Coping, Vocational/Educational Goals, Psychopathology, and Superior adjustment.

An alternative representation of the common-factor model that incorporates a «lack-of-fit» term into the initial equation for the measured variables is proposed, and subsequent derivation of the covariance form of the model in the population and the sample yields a framework for differentiation of various sources of error that arise in applications of themodel.

The majority of girls became dissatisfied with their weight as they matured, and females from the higher social groups were more likely to want to be thinner than females from lower groups, which indicates a normal developmental process is being viewed negatively by females and positively by males.
