The direct effect of maladaptive CER strategies on body image was positive and significant (β=0.271, P<0.05). The direct effects of anxiety on adaptive CER strategies (β=-0.836) and body image (β=-0.849) were negative and significant (P<0.001). The direct effect of adaptive CER strategies on body image was negative and significant (β=-0.266, P<0.001).<br>
