OBJECTIVE
To investigate body image disturbance in young women with and without an eating disorder (ED) across two different ethnic groups in Australia and Singapore.
METHOD
The relationship of body image disturbance to cultural orientation and socio-cultural factors was analysed in 154 women with and without an ED. Participants were from the following backgrounds: North European Australian, East Asian Australian, Singaporean Chinese (SC) and North European expatriates in Singapore.
RESULTS
Irrespective of cultural group, women with an ED had similar body dissatisfaction. Among those without an ED, SC women reported greater body dissatisfaction than all other cultural groups. Finally, within each cultural group, ED participants reported significantly higher body dissatisfaction than their non-ED counterparts with the exception of SC women where there was no difference.
DISCUSSION
Socio-cultural factors other than body image may play more important roles in SC women's ED psychopathology.
目的
调查澳大利亚和新加坡两个不同种族群体中患有和未患有饮食失调（ED）的年轻女性的身体意象障碍情况。
方法
对154名患有和未患有ED的女性分析身体意象障碍与文化取向和社会文化因素之间的关系。参与者来自以下背景：澳大利亚北欧裔、澳大利亚东亚裔、新加坡华人（SC）以及在新加坡的北欧侨民。
结果
无论文化群体如何，患有ED的女性都有相似的身体不满情绪。在未患有ED的女性中，SC女性报告的身体不满情绪比所有其他文化群体都要高。最后，在每个文化群体中，除了SC女性没有差异外，患有ED的参与者报告的身体不满情绪明显高于未患有ED的同龄人。
讨论
除身体意象外的社会文化因素可能在SC女性的ED心理病理学中发挥更重要的作用。
