Abstract:
Impact and Implications. The present work examines whether the perception of internal bodily stimuli ( interoception) is associated with body image in a sample of Malaysian Malay adults. The key novel finding is that associations between interoceptive sensibility and body image are present in a non-Western sample, suggesting that existing models can be generalized to populations that are more demographically diverse than the Western samples that have been considered previously. Specifically, we identify several significant associations between facets of interoception and positive body image, which could have important therapeutic applications. As such, the work falls within Sustainable Development Goal 3.
