Evaluating the relationship between body dissatisfaction and eating disorders involves:
1. Standardized assessment tools: Use validated scales (e.g., Body Shape Questionnaire, Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire) to measure body dissatisfaction intensity and disordered eating behaviors (restriction, bingeing, purging).
2. Longitudinal correlational analysis: Track how baseline body dissatisfaction predicts the onset or escalation of eating disorder symptoms over months/years, controlling for genetic predispositions or cultural influences.
3. Experimental manipulation studies: Induce temporary body dissatisfaction (e.g., via social media exposure) and observe acute changes in eating behaviors (e.g., food intake, body checking), comparing responses across high/low baseline dissatisfaction groups.

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?
