Abstract
Memory accuracy and biases associated with body dissatisfaction were examined using an incidental recognition memory test for weight-related words among 26 body-dissatisfied and 26 body-satisfied women. Although body-dissatisfied women correctly recognized more weight-related words, signal detection analysis using true and false recognition rates revealed no group difference in memory accuracy.
