The emergence of body image flexibility into the positive body image nomenclature has innovatively expanded the conceptualization of how individuals may adaptively respond to body image threats. Given the notable growth of interest in researching this construct over nearly the past decade, the present analysis provides a systematic and critical review of evidence examining the roles of body image flexibility as correlate, mediator, moderator, and in intervention research. Results indicated that body image flexibility tended to demonstrate a pattern of relationships with correlates in directions predicted by its conceptualization and showed promise in functioning as both effect modifier and as an explanatory variable in the associations evaluated. Multiple studies demonstrated susceptibility to change following intervention. Although the current state of the literature is bound by notable limitations, the results of this review point to pertinent future steps in advancing the theory and application of body image flexibility scholarship.
身体意象灵活性的出现为积极的身体意象命名法注入了新的活力，创新性地扩展了个体如何适应身体意象威胁的概念化。鉴于近十年来人们对这一构念的研究兴趣显著增长，本分析对检验身体意象灵活性作为相关因素、中介、调节因素以及干预研究的证据进行了系统和批判性的回顾。结果表明，身体意象灵活性的关系与预测其概念化的相关因素呈一致趋势，并且在评估的关联中作为效应修饰因子和解释变量具有一定的潜力。多项研究表明，在干预后具有易变性。尽管当前的文献状况受到明显的限制，但本综述的结果为推进身体意象灵活性理论和应用研究指明了未来的重要步骤。
