Abstract
This research is presented in a manuscript-based format, meaning that it has been divided into three separate, yet connected, manuscripts. Following a global introduction section and literature review, the three manuscripts are included as separate chapters, followed by a global conclusion chapter that completes the dissertation.
Authorship and Publication Status of Manuscripts
Standard authorship criteria (from the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors) were used to establish authorship on the three manuscripts included in my dissertation. According to these criteria, "Authorship credit should be based on 1) substantial contribution to conception and design, acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data; 2) drafting the article or revising it critically for important intellectual content; and 3) final approval of the version to be published. Authors should meet conditions 1, 2, and 3" (http://www.icmje.org/ethical_lauthor.html).
As there are co-authors on each of the manuscripts, I have outlined below the contributions of myself and all co-authors for each manuscript included in this dissertation. As the student, I took the lead role in all manuscripts. Specifically, I led the design and execution of the study, collected and conducted the analysis of the data, and led the writing, under the guidance of my supervisor and with contributions from supervisory committee members. Efforts have been made to publish this research and details of submissions are described below. Please note that the manuscripts are formatted in accordance with the guidelines of the University of Calgary, Graduate Studies. The citation for manuscript one (chapter 3) is:
Linder, J, Adair CE., Russell-Mayhew, S., & McLaren, L. Body dissatisfaction and body change behaviours in early adolescent boys and girls at summer camp. For this paper, I conceptualized the study, gained access to the study site, obtained consent from parents and assent from participants, designed the questionnaire, completed the data collection, analyzed the data, interpreted the results and prepared the first draft of the manuscript. Dr. McLaren assisted in and oversaw all of the above activities. Dr. Adair assisted in the conceptualization of the study, questionnaire development and the editing of the manuscript. She also provided specific assistance in the pre-test and the analysis. Dr. Russell-Mayhew assisted in the conceptualization of the study, questionnaire development and the editing of the final manuscript.
