This study examined the spiritual and religious (S/R) beliefs and practices of college-age women at high-risk for eating disorders, and the relationship between body image distress, coping, and S/R.
Two hundred fifty-five college-age women with elevated weight and shape concerns, assessed using the Weight/Shape Concerns Scale and the Eating Disorder Examination (EDE), completed surveys about their S/R beliefs and practices.
Women with strong S/R beliefs and practices cope with body dissatisfaction differently than women without strong S/R beliefs. Participants with strong S/R were significantly more likely to pray, meditate, or read religious/spiritual texts to cope with body image distress. Participants without strong beliefs and practices were more likely to cope utilizing distraction. Women with strong beliefs who prayed found it effective.
Study participants were heterogenenous in their S/R beliefs and practices. These beliefs and practices may be underutilized resources for coping with body image concerns.
本研究调查了饮食失调高风险的大学适龄女性的精神和宗教（S/R）信仰及行为，以及身体意象困扰、应对方式与S/R之间的关系。
使用体重/体型关注量表和饮食失调检查（EDE）评估出255名对体重和体型关注度较高的大学适龄女性，她们完成了关于其S/R信仰及行为的调查。
拥有坚定S/R信仰及行为的女性应对身体不满的方式与没有坚定S/R信仰的女性不同。拥有坚定S/R信仰的参与者显著更有可能通过祈祷、冥想或阅读宗教/精神文本应对身体意象困扰。没有坚定信仰及行为的参与者更有可能通过分散注意力来应对。拥有坚定信仰且祈祷的女性觉得这很有效。
研究参与者的S/R信仰及行为存在异质性。这些信仰及行为可能是应对身体意象问题时未得到充分利用的资源。
