This study examined whether married individuals have comparable body image disturbance to nonmarried individuals and whether the quality of a marital relationship is significantly related to body image disturbance in a sample of dieters.
Measures of marital status, marital satisfaction, and body dissatisfaction were administered to a sample of 16,377 subjects who had tried to lose weight at least once within the previous 3 years.
Marital status was not associated with increased body dissatisfaction. Marital satisfaction was significantly related to body dissatisfaction when controlling for age, body mass index, self-esteem, and gender.
Body dissatisfaction occurs at comparable levels among married and single individuals and the study of marital functioning among eating-disordered individuals represents a large gap in the literature.
本研究探讨在节食者样本中，已婚个体与未婚个体的身体意象障碍是否相当，以及婚姻关系质量与身体意象障碍是否显著相关。
对16377名在过去3年内至少尝试过一次减肥的受试者样本进行婚姻状况、婚姻满意度和身体不满意程度的测量。
婚姻状况与身体不满意程度增加无关。在控制年龄、体重指数、自尊和性别后，婚姻满意度与身体不满意程度显著相关。
已婚和单身个体的身体不满意程度相当，而饮食失调个体的婚姻功能研究在文献中存在很大空白。
