Funded Activity Summary

Appearance-based rejection sensitivity from childhood to adolescence: victimisation, mental health consequences and rejection resilience. Many children are excessively teased and victimised because of their appearance, which causes appearance anxiety and expectations of rejection by others. Drawing on new adult research, this project tests a model of appearance-based sensitivity in the development of mental health problems and will test strategies to build children's resilience.
