The authors designed the present study to test whether women reported higher levels of body dissatisfaction than did men even when the 2 genders were matched on a measure of degree of body focus. Sixty undergraduates (30 men, 30 women) were screened on attention-to-body-shape scores and divided into high, medium, and low body-shape-focus groups. The participants also completed questionnaires that provided information on age, education, vocabulary ability, levels of depression, and body-image assessment. The groups did not differ (ps > .05) on age, education, vocabulary ability, or levels of depression. However, women in all 3 body-shape-focus categories indicated a larger discrepancy between their real vs. ideal body images (p < .01) than did the men. In the high-body-focus group, there was an 11:1ratio between women's and men's reported real-ideal body-shape discrepancies. Women showed greater body dissatisfaction than did men, even when the genders were matched on a measure of body focus.
作者设计了本研究，以检验即使在身体关注程度这一指标上使两性相匹配，女性报告的身体不满程度是否仍高于男性。对60名本科生（30名男性，30名女性）进行了身体形状关注度得分筛查，并将其分为高、中、低身体形状关注组。参与者还完成了提供年龄、教育程度、词汇能力、抑郁水平和身体形象评估信息的问卷。各组在年龄、教育程度、词汇能力或抑郁水平上没有差异（p>0.05）。然而，在所有三个身体形状关注类别中，女性所表明的真实与理想身体形象之间的差异（p<0.01）都比男性大。在高身体关注组中，女性与男性报告的真实-理想身体形状差异之比为11:1。即使在身体关注指标上使两性相匹配，女性仍比男性表现出更大的身体不满。
