Abstract
Body functionality describes everything that the body can do and encompasses functions related to physical capacities, internal processes, bodily senses and perception, creative endeavors, communication with others, and self-care. To date, the majority of body image research has investigated individuals' thoughts, feelings, perceptions, and behaviors relating to their physical appearance only. In feet, the paucity of research focusing on body image as related to body functionality has been identified as one of the main limitations in the field. Luckily, in recent years, more research has begun to emerge that addresses body image in a broader sense, including a focus on body functionality. This chapter describes how focusing on body functionality can be beneficial for fostering positive embodiment. It describes existing and emerging measures for assessing aspects of body functionality and discusses how body functionality can be integrated into intervention efforts. The chapter highlights potential caveats of focusing on body functionality and identifies key directions for research. The amount of research on body functionality has increased in recent years, and the emerging evidence suggests that focusing on body functionality fosters positive embodiment.
