Women completed the Body Dissatisfaction and Drive for Thinness subscales of the Eating Disorders Inventory-3, whereas men completed the Low Body Fat and Muscularity subscales of the Male Body Attitudes Scale.

b

Only the gender difference in COVID-19-related stress reaches significance once a Bonferroni correction, such that p = (1 − α)k ≈ 1 − kα = α / k = 0.007, is applied.

p < .05.
