Abstract	Objective: To investigate the role of internalization of body image ideals as a potential mediator between perceived body acceptance and intuitive eating among college students. Participants/Method: 168 undergraduates completed the Body Acceptance By Others Scale (BAOS), Sociocultural Attitudes Toward Appearance Questionnaire-3 (SATAQ-3; Internalization-Total and -General, -Athletic subscales), and Intuitive Eating Scale (IES). Results: Internalization-Total mediated the relationship between BAOS and IES (b=0.19, p<0.001). Internalization-General was a significant mediator of the BAOS-IES relationship (b=0.14, p=0.006), while Internalization-Athletic was not (p=0.993). Post-hoc analyses stratified by gender followed similar patterns, aside from a negative but nonsignificant relationship between Internalization-Athletic and IES in men (b=-0.16, p=0.650). Conclusions: These data suggest that internalization of general (i.e., thin) body image ideals may be more destructive to body satisfaction and adaptive eating styles in college students than athletic-ideal internalization. More research is needed to examine the role of athletic-ideal internalization on body image and eating behaviors. (As Provided).
