As can be seen from table 7 there appear to be differences in mean scores between the<br />

three BMI groups, these will be pursued using bivariate analysis, if being overweight is<br />

found to be associated with subscales described above, it may be useful to explore what<br />

other clinical variables are associated with having a high BMI, as is hypothesised in<br />

section II, hypotheses II.<br />

Section II – Testing the hypotheses <strong>of</strong> the study<br />

The hypotheses will be stated and tested in turn. The primary hypotheses <strong>of</strong> the study will<br />

be considered first.<br />

Hypothesis I (a): Acceptance <strong>of</strong> body image will be negatively associated with<br />

inflexible emotional processing (i.e. lower scores on inflexibility will be associated<br />

with higher acceptance <strong>of</strong> body image)<br />

A scatterplot was constructed to explore the relationship between the acceptance <strong>of</strong> body<br />

image and inflexibility.<br />
