Dr. Sam Hahn of Central Michigan University joins the podcast to discuss one of her recent papers that examines how weight perception--how one personally views themselves in terms of overweight, normal weight, underweight--and its potential changes throughout adolescence could predict disordered eating patterns in young adulthood. The episode also touches on Dr. Hahn's interest in investigating how other self-monitoring behaviors (self-weighing, electronic tracking devices, etc.) influences eating patterns, mood, and weight-related behaviors, particularly for vulnerable populations and young adults.
Papers Discussed in the Episode:
1. Hahn et al., (2023): Do Weight Perception Transitions in Adolescents Predict Concurrent and Long-Term Disordered Eating Behaviors? J Adolesc Health. May;72(5):803-810
2. Hahn et al., (2021): Self-weighing among young adults: who weighs themselves and for whom does weighing affect mood? A cross-sectional study of population-based sample. J Eat Disord. Mar 10;9(1):37.
