The goal of this study was to examine gender differences in the prevalence of disordered eating and body dissatisfaction as well as examine gender differences in several risk factors: mass media, self-esteem and perfectionism. Three hundred fifty-three undergraduates completed surveys about their body dissatisfaction, disordered eating habits, exposure to and influence of mass media, self-esteem and perfectionistic tendencies. As expected, women experienced more symptoms of disordered eating as well as body dissatisfaction than did their male counterparts. There were also gender differences in the risk factors. For women, mass media, self-esteem, and perfectionism related to disordered eating behaviors, whereas for men, only perfectionism and mass media related to disordered eating behaviors. For women, mass media and self-esteem related to body image dissatisfaction, whereas for men, mass media and perfectionism related to body image dissatisfaction. The results of the present study indicate that risk factors for disordered eating and body dissatisfaction for men and women may be different, which has implications for understanding the etiology of body dissatisfaction and disordered eating and for possible treatment interventions.
本研究的目的是考察饮食失调和身体不满患病率的性别差异，以及考察几个风险因素的性别差异：大众媒体、自尊和完美主义。353名本科生完成了关于他们身体不满、饮食失调习惯、大众媒体的接触和影响、自尊和完美主义倾向的调查。正如预期的那样，女性比男性经历了更多饮食失调症状以及身体不满。在风险因素方面也存在性别差异。对于女性来说，大众媒体、自尊和完美主义与饮食失调行为有关，而对于男性来说，只有完美主义和大众媒体与饮食失调行为有关。对于女性来说，大众媒体和自尊与身体形象不满有关，而对于男性来说，大众媒体和完美主义与身体形象不满有关。本研究结果表明，男性和女性饮食失调和身体不满的风险因素可能不同，这对于理解身体不满和饮食失调的病因以及可能的治疗干预具有启示意义。
