Weight perceptions and psychological well-being in young adults: mediating roles of dispositional gratitude, body appreciation, and weight self-stigma.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveObesity is a major global health challenge, particularly in Saudi Arabia (SA). Weight perceptions (WPs), how individuals perceive their body weight, are associated with psychological well-being. This study extends previous research by examining whether dispositional gratitude (DG), body appreciation (BA), and weight self-stigma (WSS) mediate the relationships between WPs and psychological well-being as measured by subjective well-being (SWB) and satisfaction with life (SWL).
methods900 SA young adults (M
resultsParticipants had a mean BMI of 24.88 (SD = 5.90) and 38% had body weight misperceptions. For SWL, full mediation was supported (χ²(1) = 6.94, p = .008, CFI = 0.994, TLI = 0.839, RMSEA = 0.082, SRMR = 0.010). WPs were negatively associated with DG (β = - 0.176, p < .001) and BA (β = - 0.334, p < .001), but positively associated with WSS (β = 0.408, p < .001). Indirect associations were significant through DG (β = -0.064, p < .001), BA (β = -0.059, p < .001), and WSS (β = -0.042, p = .008) with total indirect association (β = -0.166, p < .001), explaining 27.6% variance in SWL. Similar results for SWB showed full mediation, with significant total indirect association (β = -0.153, p < .001), explaining 21.6% variance in SWB.
conclusionThese findings underscore the mediating roles of DG, BA, and WSS in the relationships between WPs and psychological well-being, suggesting that interventions targeting these factors could enhance psychological well-being among vulnerable young SA young adults living with obesity, especially those with weight misperceptions.
