Psychol."],"abstract":"<jats:p>\n                    Physical activity (PA) is important for managing the side effects and long-term outcomes of cancer treatment, yet many adolescents and young adults diagnosed with cancer (AYAs) are not meeting PA guidelines. Body image and social support are two factors that can influence PA behavior and require further attention in this population. The purpose of this study was to examine the associations between body image, social support, and PA among AYAs. An online cross-sectional survey administered through the Research Electronic Data Capture platform was used to assess self-reported body image (body-related self-conscious emotions of appearance and fitness shame, guilt, authentic pride, and hubristic pride), social support (general and cancer-specific), and PA (mild, moderate-to-vigorous, and resistance exercise) in AYAs (\n                    <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 119;\n                    <jats:italic>M<\/jats:italic>\n                    <jats:sub>age<\/jats:sub>\n                    = 34.5 \u00b1 5.5 years). Based on findings from path analyses, body image and social support were directly associated with PA (\n                    <jats:italic>R<\/jats:italic>\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    = 0.09\u20130.33). Social support was also directly associated with body image. However, there were no indirect effects. These findings provide preliminary support for the influential role of appearance and fitness body-related emotions and cancer-specific social support on PA. The results have important implications for the development of targeted strategies aimed at improving body image (e.g., cognitive dissonance and compassion-focused interventions) and social support (e.g., facilitating the provision of cancer-specific support), with the overall goal of increasing AYAs\u2019 PA.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2021.800314","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,3]],"date-time":"2022-01-03T00:32:33Z","timestamp":1641169953000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Testing the Associations Between Body Image, Social Support, and Physical Activity Among Adolescents and Young Adults Diagnosed With Cancer"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Madison F.","family":"Vani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Catherine M.","family":"Sabiston","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Linda","family":"Trinh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniel","family":"Santa Mina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"4113","DOI":"10.1007\/s00520-020-05897-w","article-title":"Preferences for exercise and physical activity support in adolescent and young adult cancer survivors: a cross-sectional survey.","volume":"29","author":"Adams","year":"2021","journal-title":"Support.
